Two adopted brothers become bitter rivals when one joins the Roman army and is tasked with rooting out rebels in Jerusalem, leading him to sentence his brother to the life of a slave when he's discovered to have harbored a would-be rebel assassin.
The performances are pretty good and the production values are extraordinarily well-done, creating an authentic look and feel for the time period.
The special effects in particular do an incredible job at creating dynamic action sequences; such as the naval battles and chariot races. But the writing falls short and doesn't take the time to develop the characters or the story all that well.
Yet despite its shortcomings, Ben-Hur is an entertaining film with a powerful message about forgiveness and letting go of hate. Dann M Super Reviewer.

Luckily, it's themes of betrayal and redemption hold up just as well as the epic chariot race that so many cinephiles hold so dearly to their hearts.
Starring the iconic Charlton Heston as the titular character, Ben-Hur tells the story of a Jewish prince who returns for revenge after being wrongfully enslaved by his childhood friend turned foe.
Known for its epic scale as a 's film, Ben-Hur is still one of the most impressive achievements in film to this day. Not only does the film have a nice mix of green screen work and on location set work, but the performances and work from William Wyler also deserve some credit.
Wyler, who also directed one of my favorite films, Roman Holiday, does a brilliant job at bringing this classic tale to life through his actors.
It's a great story on paper, but if Wyler doesn't bring the best out of his actors than the story can fall flat and melodramatic.
With Heston, and great supporting performances from Hugh Griffith, Jack Hawkins, and Stephen Boyd, the story most certainly does not fall flat.
With so many decades passing since the film opened, there's bound to be influences found in other films, but I can't help but draw a comparison to Ridley Scott's Gladiator.
Maximus and Judah's story take similar turns, and there's even a massive colosseum sequence in Gladiator that could be seen as a tribute to the chariot race in Ben-Hur.
The novel of the same name had its impact, but the film opened the door for big budgeted ideas to steer their way into theaters for years to come.
But speaking of the original story from the book, I feel like Wyler may have been too stuck on adapting what he saw in the pages to the big screen.
Both interpretations have a strong presence of Jesus and the idea of faith, but I don't believe the heavy inclusion of Christ's story worked in the film.
Judah and Messala are at the core of this story, but by the end, the story is taken over by the presence of Jesus.
That's not necessarily a bad thing, but for me, the film ends when the relationship between Judah and Messala is at its climax.

Edit Did You Know? Trivia William Wyler coined the famous joke that it took "a Jew to make a good film about Jesus. Goofs The film implies that Jerusalem was the center of Roman administration in Judea.
The Roman prefects who governed Judea made their headquarters in Caesarea Maritima, a much larger city than Jerusalem.

Dann M Super Reviewer. Dec 11, Remake totalmente innecesario. De veras no la vean. Fernando M Super Reviewer. Sep 05, Ben-Hur epitomizes the ill-advised remake that no wanted to see and no wanted to make.
It was, truth be told, a film that I looked forward to eviscerating -- an example of Hollywood gone wrong with big budget filmmaking, relying more upon name recognition than actual content or inspiration.
And I was completely wrong, as Ben-Hur proves a more solid retelling than anyone anticipated or even deserved. It is spectacular or even great?
Ben-Hur wanders into generic modern remake territory occasionally, but what it does it does well. In fact, it sports advantages over its predecessors whether it's the novel by Lew Wallace, the original silent film, or the classic and beloved movie directed by William Wyler.
I am familiar with all of these by the way. The narrative framework revolves almost entirely upon the friendship and rivalry between Judah Ben-Hur and Messala.
In fact, where in previous versions Messala turns into a cartoonish villain as the story progresses, here he remains sympathetic throughout and shares near equal screen time with the protagonist.
Though, I absolutely love how this movie essentially slaps both Ben-Hur and Messala for pursuing a path of egotistical vengeance hung up in macho pride.
Lastly, the heavy-handed religious parable that defined the final act of the version has been toned down in favor of a condensed version that emphasizes the passion story more in terms of personal redemption for our two main leads than the usual religious messaging.
Now to where it falls short. William Wyler's classic sported one of the greatest musical scores of all time.
Put it this way - no one is winning an Oscar for best original score here. As said before, much of the film can fall into generic blandness as times, but more troubling is the fact that so much effort goes into the primary relationship of the film, that no other relationship or performance stands out.
It also lacks the grandeur of its immediate predecessor, but I suspect that may be intentional, as this is supposed to be a more realistic and grounded approach to the same story we all know.
The artistic feat of not showing Christ's face is gone now, with the usual Jesus cameos to keep Ben-Hur hydrated and honest.
Oh and Morgan Freeman is so out of place in this movie. He gives it his all, but his dreadlocks prove distracting and his modern affectations are jarring.
So is it worth your time? To many this may appear to be attempt to cash in on the faith-based film craze that has happened in recent years and may turn off potential audiences.
This is not really the case, and while religious viewers are not turned away, this is more for general audiences.
It obviously doesn't compare in quality to what came before, but it does have enough merit to stand on its own and is worth a screening.
It's a shame that it was saddled with an obnoxious budget and unrealistic expectations. It may prove to be successful overseas and become a cult hit - the John Carter of if you will.
But that's just speculation. It needs the chance. Joshua S Super Reviewer. Aug 22, Rarely are classics improved upon with remakes, others tend to tarnish the original versions.
This iteration of Ben-Hur tends to fall somewhere in between those two extremes. There was no need to remake Ben-Hur to begin with.
I'm not even sure why they had to do an animated version in the early 's and bring back Heston. The tale is a classic and the chariot race will never be touched.
It did so much for filmmaking at that time and attempting to top it in any way shape or form, is a huge mistake. While I don't think they tarnished the legacy of the original, it also didn't fix some easy mistakes that the film made.
The crux of the story in both cases is the troubled relationship between Judah Ben-Hur and Messala Severus, this time played by Jack Huston and Toby Kebbell respectively.
With that said, in both films they make the same mistake of forcing the Jesus arc into what is already a jam packed film. I'm not saying I can't appreciate the faith element, I can.
But there are other ways to portray Ben-Hur's struggle to come to grips with his faith and lack there-of. By forcing the Jesus angle into the film, it becomes painfully uneven.
Either make him a more demanding presence or cut it out completely, make a choice. However, there are plenty of good things about this remake.
Kebbell and Huston actually hold their own as friends brothers? I really enjoyed watching their relationship unfold into surprising directions.
Morgan Freeman with putrid dreadlocks is also quite good in the film, and not as distracting as the trailers make it seem.
There are plenty of refreshing choices this film makes in its story structure that are beneficial to the story, and I enjoyed those updated elements.
But it's unfortunate that a sword and sandals epic in just doesn't hold the same type of gravitas that it did back in the day.
The new chariot race is fine, but I think I still prefer the take even more. And as good as I thought Kebbell and Huston were, I can't possibly believe they hold a candle to what Heston and Boyd did.
I didn't hate the update, but man it could have been a whole lot better. Thomas D Super Reviewer. See all Audience reviews.
