Plot: This remake of the 1959 Academy Award winning historical epic film follows a wrongly accused nobleman, Judah Ben-Hur, whom after surviving years of slavery is determined to exact revenge upon his former best friend, Messala, who had betrayed him.
My Movie Review: The movie is lost in translation trying to give grand history but falls flat. The chariot race is the highlight of the film and that's the only thing that make it watchable. Ben-Hur is retelling of story that has a big shoe to fill in that still delivers but not enough to match its predecessor. Unexpected to see story of Jesus makes it compelling on the last parts for what is worth I bring home lessons like no matter life will took you just keep living.
My Favorite Lines: "Look for them in the Valley of the Lepers, if you can recognize them. The race goes on, Judah!" "What is your name, forty-one? Judah Ben Hur." "And I felt his voice take the sword out of my hand." "This is the day Judah. It's between us now." "You should have stayed away. You should have killed me." "Your eyes are full of hate, forty-one. That's good. Hate keeps a man alive. It gives him strength." "Now listen to me, all of you. You are all condemned men. We keep you alive to serve this ship. Row well and live."
