Ben-Hur

Director: Timur Bekmambetov

Year: 2016     Run Time: 123 min

Judah Ben-Hur, a prince falsely accused of treason by his adopted brother, an officer in the Roman army, returns to his homeland after years at sea to seek revenge, but finds redemption.

Tim's Review

This is almost like the original Ben-Hur. It's the same story with Jack...Charlton Heston. We loved Ben-Hur then, we love it now.

5 Bags of Popcorn

Gregg's Review

I think they've improved upon it this time because in that movie you didnt have access to some of the technology. Some of the sets were a little cornball, quite frankly.

Tim's Review

Show the clip...oh, shit!

Tim did not rate this film

Gregg's Review

This is the summer of animation, quite frankly. We've had a lot of animated features this year and there's more to come.
