Yes it's true Ben Hur in the SMWO

Date of Review:  Jan 8, 2004
The Bottom Line: When the best thing about a film is a badly aged scene at the end of a near 4 hour run time it's not so great afterall.
Review: Whenever I talk to people who love movies a common topic of discussion can be to name a loved classic that I despise, now those who have been reading my reviews since I first joined Epinions may think that I would have named 2001 A Space Odyssey...

The worst "best picture" ever? Quite possibly!

Date of Review:  Mar 21, 2005
The Bottom Line: What could the great director William Wyler have been thinking to have filmed this idiocy and to have let it run on and on and then on some more?
Review: No movie has won more Academy Awards than "Ben Hur," so it and "Titanic" must be the greatest movies of all time, right? Not hardly! Long ago, I designated "Ben Hur" the worst movie from the 1950s to win a "best picture" Academy Award, and it is at...

BEN-HUR: Blood and Sand

Date of Review:  Dec 17, 2000
Review: Ben-Hur

This is a story of how friends fall out. Judah Ben-Hur is a Jewish prince living in Roman occupied Judea in the first century AD. His boyhood friend Messala, a Roman, is now a tribune in the Roman Army. Messala visits Judah's home...

A truly great epic

Date of Review:  Apr 8, 2008
The Bottom Line: This movie does everything right, and is a standard for epic films.
Review: This 1959 epic film is the third film version of Lew Wallace's 1880 novel, Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ. It won eleven Academy Awards, an achievement that has not yet been surpassed, and has been equaled but twice: Titanic and The Lord Of The...

Ben-Hur Has "Too Many Notes"

Date of Review:  Dec 19, 2004
The Bottom Line: Too many notes.
Review: It is hard for me to describe why Ben-Hur (1959) is not one of my favorite movies. It is a great movie, no doubt. But when I think of "Ben-Hur", and I think of why it is not one of my favorite movies, the thought that usually comes to my head is,...

Boxers or Briefs?

Date of Review:  Jul 6, 2001
The Bottom Line: This film an epic that marks the time it was made, as well as the time it portrays, the former more than the latter. Watch it once without commercials!
Review: Forgive me for reducing this legendary movie to such a banal thought, but whenever there are men in miniskirts, I have to wonder. Elizabeth Haffenden (the costume designer) is not available for comment, and I wouldn't go near Heston even with a long...

The biggest, and best, biblical epic ever from Hollywood.

Date of Review:  Nov 28, 2004
The Bottom Line: A masterful restoration of a beloved classic, and one well worth seeing for the first, or the fiftieth time.
Review: I suspect those reading this come from two distinct camps: one, comprised of viewers 40 and older who've seen Ben-Hur at least once in the theatre (though not likely in its intended "Camera 65" presentation), as well as a couple of times on...

Biblical Best Picture "Ben-Hur" Makes For A Thorough DVD.

Date of Review:  Nov 24, 2009
The Bottom Line: With generally likable characters engaged in a search for family and revenge, "Ben-Hur" is a long movie with a surprisingly intimate focus on the title character.
Review: As I make it through the final few films I have yet to see for my ambitious Best Picture Project (check it out at: http://www.epinions.com/content_5273067652 !), I find myself watching a number of older movies that I might not have otherwise...

The Bottom Line: ______
Review: While at my dad's this weekend, I noticed that one of the movies he had was Ben-Hur and since I heard it was one of the best movies of all time, I decided to watch it. I must say, I was somewhat pleasantly surprised. Director William Wyler gives...
