Review of Ben-Hur (2016) by Geena J — 21 Aug 2016

Wonderful film! With a few liberties taken in this remake of Ben Hur, I enjoyed the deeper dive into the relationship of Judas and Messala. Cinematography was excellent as was the seamless and story progressing animation. This was a wonderful retelling of injustice, suffering, revenge, hate, love and forgiveness. While everyone loves Charlton Heston, this movie felt more relatable than the 1959 version. I'm greatly encouraged to see someone making Christian films and projects.

I look forward to more films that Roma and Mark will create. Christians will never see anything accurate, positive or worthy from Hollywood when it comes to the Bible (remember "Noah"? ...utter rubbish!). Well done, Roma Downey and Mark Burnett!
