Review of Ben-Hur (2016) by Alex R — 04 Jul 2018
People don't seem to have any real arguments against this movie apart from the fact that it's an unwanted remake of the legendary 1950s film. This movie provides a new version of the story and there's is good directing and solid acting, there is a lot of character development as well which is important for these types of movies, there are some powerful scenes and a strong message.
The only problem I have with the movie is that I felt Morgan freeman was casted solely so it'd have an A list celebrity in the cast, he isn't very convincing as an african character. All around this movie is entertaining to watch and it has substance, it's undoubtably inferior to the original but if you watch it as it's own movie without judging it first hand it's good.
