Remaking Ben-Hur? Now that's the studious first big mistake, and the payoff shows. Oh and I haven't seen the original movie, so...there's another reason to dislike me.

Ok. I haven't seen the original (which people think should not have been remade) but I really like this. Call me religious or whatever, but the reveal in the end, how this is bigger than a story of two brothers, really got me. To be honest, I felt really off when it comes to the cinematography, production design, even the story in the beginning. But things were forgiven towards the end. I believe that the circus scene is well-shot and the intensity was really there. From that point forward, everything makes sense. This is a film that catholic high schools should be showing to their students. Enough action, enough drama, and a big lesson about Jesus' time. Of course it does not surpass Mel Gibson's The Passion of Christ, but this is definitely a decent attempt of putting Jesus' teaching …
