I was planning on going to see this movie last weekend but wound up nursing my boyfriend through a case of the flu. Next weekend for sure.

Has anyone seen this move and if so, whatdyathink and why?

My problem with a lot of these “Christian” movies is the characters tend tp be a bit wooden, especially those that actually portray Jesus - maybe not a problem here since Jesus problem isn’t in it much. But actual heart-felt, flesh and blood people who are real but not over emotional.

It’s a decent movie for a historical fiction.
Wife & I enjoyed it.

I refute that “Ben Hur” was a Christian movie; it had mass appeal and was simply a reflection of the Western Civilization from which it sprung.

A Western Civilization that has been thoroughly distorted, gutted and discarded by our elite masters, BTW.

The last few minutes of Ben Hur were very Christian. Ben Hur was transformed into a new person, the very heart of the Gospel.

If this is true, can there be any more positive proof that we are in the evil mirror mirror universe?

Well worth seeing! Saw it yesterday. They did make a couple of changes to move some Biblical events to other times and locations to help the story flow, but I was really touched by the characters as they were presented. It is sometimes hard for us today to remember just how remarkable (and unbelievable) the story was to those who heard it first. They put their lives on the line to defend a position they could not defend - what faith!

Christian audiences have felt a little burned lately by bad movies on biblical subjects

The Wife and I watched Exodus: God and Kings this past week on HBO.

To say that it was an uninspired disappointment would be a gross understatement.

The reviews kept me out of the theater when it came out. Now I wish we had played Scrabble instead of watching that movie.

The script was pure dreck and the acting putrescene.
