Review of Ben-Hur (2016) by Pierce M — 24 Aug 2016
By itself, Ben Hur 2016 is a good watch - great in parts but good on the whole. I'm resisting the oh-so-obvious tendency to compare the two Ben Hurs, so... It's a poignant and exciting at the same time take on man's struggle to reign in his animal instincts and stand up to the crowd's pressure.
Well told, well shot. With a theme for all times really. Just what the world needs even now as bile and strife tear our sense of universal brotherhood. I would've rated it higher but for those shaky cam close ups that left me irritated.
