Review of Ben-Hur (2016) by Joker777 — 24 Aug 2016

First thing first, need to get a couple things out of the way. Two groups of people giving this movie unjust hate. 1: people that went into this movie expecting the old movie. 2: People that are offended by Jesus/God.

As a movie this one is pretty good; diffidently recommend it. I knocked two points off- one for the script (the depth could of been better) and one for all that they cut out (which is understandable seeing how this shaves a couple hours off the original).

Not much else to say without spoiling. Just keep in mind people, in a world were it's accepted and even encouraged to kill kids (abortion), of course anything having to do with Jesus/God is going to get hated on.

Don't take mine or any other person's word for it though, don't let the crowd dictate your views. Go see it for yourself and make your own judgement. It's on average only eight or so dollars to see a movie so go for it.
