Review of Ben-Hur (2016) by Californiafrank — 22 Aug 2016
From my Liberal Gay catholic point of view: A horribly miscast, No, Beautifully cast with stunning point-on acting talents!... poorly executed,No, beautifully executed,... thinly written remake,...No, powerfully and excitingly re-write .....Ben Hur is a complete mess, No,... roller coaster of a re-invented movie experience to behold... and slobbers over its potential greatness with choppy action, False! Breathtaking in it's wild, digitally enhanced breath-taking action scenes,... cliched dialogue, No, Spot-on dialogue fits beautifully into the perfectly believable ancient settings.... and terrible special effects..No.... special effects plows right into your lap as it did while I watched it Monday in giant screen XD3D. Saw the 1959 5 times, 2010 TV release once and loved both. The 2016 short but explicit Jesus scenes were wonderful to witness and probably embarrassing for the non-Christian to have to squirm through ...for me: well worth the pricey reserved seating!
Like always just ignore the critics, go watch the movie, u won't regret it.
