Review of Ben-Hur (1959) by Michael B — 11 Jul 2010

I have to agree with other users in saying that it takes a while for this movie to get going, but once it does, it really delivers. When watching the epic battle scenes upon the water and the iconic chariot race sequence, it's mind-blowing to think that such action was captured more than 60 years ago before the advent of any digital filmmaking processes- and that's what makes the movie shine.

Creativity and human ingenuity make this film truly epic and a masterpiece that should be viewed by any lover of film.
