Review of Ben-Hur (2016) by Rob B — 26 Aug 2016
VERY good movie: CGI is top-class, acting is good (I never noticed they were "acting", always a good sign), drama storyline about the stepbrothers was engaging, believable, and ACTION was excellent, visceral, dynamic.
28% on the critics score? UnBELIEVEable. I suspect that word about what one "believes" and their world view MIGHT just have something to do with "critics" giving 28%, while those who saw it give 66%.
The Plain and Simple: I like movies, not cartoons or comic books. THIS is a movie, and I liked it. (And for those concerned that it's a "Christian movie"... I'd say that is a sub-theme.
It won't bother you. It feels like a very good historical action-drama with the main theme being "Roman Occupation and how to deal with it.").
