Review of Ben-Hur (2016) by Catherine K — 26 Jun 2017
I actually enjoyed this movie. Both my husband and I went in, not knowing anything about the plot. We thought it was a decent 3 star movie and we were sad it was such a commercial flop. My biggest beef is that this is a huge movie and I would have preferred to watch recognizable actors (ones I like, even better! :) in the two main roles. I also felt that the final scenes needed better actors, who can convey more with their faces (i.e. Russell Crowe, Tom Hardy, etc) someone with charisma you just can't take your eyes off of!
If you enjoyed Risen, or Young Messiah, this will be enjoyable as well!
