I’ve not seen it, nor will. How did it remove the symbolism?

I just assume whenever I see his name that Morgan Freemen will be playing the wise president of the United States.

Part of the power of the two earlier versions is that the chariot races were actually performed by the actors and stunt men. This CGI nonsense is destroying any sense of reality or the excitement of the movies. They’ve got to get rid of it.
My husband is a film teacher and he has to tell kids that Keaton and Harold Lloyd really did perform those extreme stunts.
Also, the writer of the article is an idiot. It is not an ancient story; it was a novel written by a Civil War commander named General Lew Wallace.

Some movies simply do not need to be remade. Samuel Jackson needs to slow his roll as he has become very much over exposed and unwatchable. I will never watch a movie with him as I am tired of his same old schtick. His character is tired and been done too many times. He’s Pulp Fiction in every movie, even when he affects a different voice, cannot be a different character to save his life. Even his commercials are tiresome. Retire Mr Jackson, you’re done.
