Ratings and reviews

Ben Hur of 2016 boasts great visuals in the boat scene, is a powerful film, and has a decent chariot race. But it doesn't live up to the one of the greatest films of all time, the original. However with the powerfulness and might in it, it is worth at least one watch.

I love how this movie is intertwined with the story of Christ and his it portrays how the people might've lived and interacted as different social classes. For me this was a 10 all-around!

This is an old favorite classic.
