Ben Hur (2010)

[odanny]

This was originally a mini-series, and Prime video has turned it into a movie (3:09)

I would give this a solid 3 out of 4 stars, it suffers slightly from a low budget set, and the palace intrigue at the start of the movie can be slow at times, but the movie literally gets better as it goes, and kept my attention for the entire 3 hours. I would recommend it regardless, and if you want to see a period piece that is well acted, this is worth your time.

I don't want to put out any spoilers, in case you have forgotten the 1959 version, and I pretty much had forgotten all the details of the Charlton Heston classic, which made this even more interesting.

Charlton Heston Ben Hur is a masterpiece.

I will not sully it by watching a cheap knock-off.

Charlton Heston Ben Hur is a masterpiece.

I will not sully it by watching a cheap knock-off.

As was the earlier, silent-era version.

 

[Auld Phart]

Next version will be Ben Her.

Exactly! 100% agree. Modern day Hollywood doesn't have any new ideas, so they continue to recreate existing movies. Charlton Heston was kickass!

 

[jotathought]

Next version will be Ben Her.

Starring a female lead who thinks they are male.

 

[Hang on Sloopy]

Next version will be Ben Her.

Clever Award!

I thought Ben was a Him?

Starring a female lead who thinks they are male.

When unwashed they all stink the same.

 

[Auld Phart]

I thought Ben was a Him?

2000 years ago, he was,

(we think)

 

[jotathought]

When unwashed they all stink the same.

The smell of fish would be a definite signal.

This is not a Hollywood film.

 

[jotathought]

This is not a Hollywood film.

blah .. blah .. blah .. modern day filming sucks. There hasn't been an epic movie as an original idea since at least 2000.

First problem right off the bat.
They chose an actor that is 5'10" and weighs a 170 lbs.
He is a shrimp.

Nothing beats Charlton Heston

Charlton Heston Ben Hur is a masterpiece.

I will not sully it by watching a cheap knock-off.

It certainly was.

And the cinematography, with no CGI in those days.

 

[The Duke]

When unwashed they all stink the same.

I knew you'd know if anyone would.

Men smell like balls and women smell like pussy, dumbass.

Maybe your women smell like balls?
