Remake but not that close to the Heston vehicle. Interesting character interplay with Jesus and the various characters. The underlying theme of forgiveness makes for interesting introspection. All in all, I would recommend this movie for the faith kiddies involved.

It’s not the unmitigated disaster early reviews suggested. Instead, it is a blandly competent and doggedly uninspired redo of material adapted a half-dozen times already.

Overseen by a director not known for his human touch and lacking a name star, except for Mr. Freeman, Ben-Hur feels like a film made on the cheap, although it looks costly.
