Favorite Character
Esther
I remember watching the original Ben-Hur with my mom when I was little, but all I remember from that was the chariot race and the lepers. Interesting what you remember from a childhood movie...
Anyway, I did not think this was a great movie. It was entertaining though. I was engaged the entire time, which is why I gave it a higher rating than I may have if that was not the case.
During the chariot race, all I could think about was the horses. I'm glad none were actually hurt during the movie, cause you know that isn't allowed (hopefully), but nonetheless, the entire time was preoccupied with my concern about the safety of the horses rather than what was actually happening in the movie. I am quite sure I had the same concern when watching the original version when I was a little human.
There was not one particular thing that made the movie bad or good. It was overall a decent and entertaining film. It is not exactly a 'lift you up / feel great about life' movie, but it held my interest and I wanted to keep watching it. I'd recommend it for the sole reason of expanding your film knowledge. This was a classic movie and the redo may be interesting for you to view.
