Ben-Hur Ratings & Reviews
Gianni Cavuoto

I am not sure I really like this version, it is not horrible but the original is much more dramatic and better acted....most importantly the action was waaaaay better. It's worth a watch right after you have seen the original to compare. Leave a comment on how you would compare them, i'm interested.

Ben-Hur isn't the worst film of the year, but from a technical standpoint it certainly looks it.
The Ringer
K. Austin Collins
Very rarely does it try to impress us, or overwhelm us, shock us, move us.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Though it seems unlikely to dislodge William Wyler's 1959 version, its story of a Judean prince (Jack Huston) who keeps running into Jesus of Nazareth (Rodrigo Santoro) offers plenty of action and spectacle.
Vox
Peter Suderman
The result is a remake with no guiding principle beyond mere existence.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Something soulless and empty, with all the mystery and grandeur of the tale just gone.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
The last of the summer's movie epics is a digitalized eyesore hobbled in every department by staggering incompetence.

Sara Michelle Fetters
This new version of Ben-Hur is consistently at war with itself.

Ben-Hur plays out, far from a modern day classic, but as spirited summer fare for an entertaining afternoon at the movies....
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Ben-Hur has clearly been designed and marketed to feed the appetite for projects with a spiritual foundation. Beyond the merits of that concept, though, there's precious little to celebrate creatively speaking.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
A general rule of thumb has emerged: Movies in 3-D almost always feature dimensionless people. Ben-Hur is a striking example of this rule.

Glenn Kenny
This is a Ben-Hur of and for its time, but also a little better than its time, it turns out.
Chesapeake Family Magazine
Roxana Hadadi
The highlight of this faith-based Ben-Hur remake is the updated chariot chase, but those 3D thrills don't make up for the rest of the film's unnecessariness.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
Dominated by CGI effects, it's a soap opera better fit for basic cable.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Huston is always engaged and engaging and the movie is true to the story that has endured in its various versions for more than a century.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
It needed a star like the Russell Crowe of "Gladiator" to provide dramatic heft. What is "Ben-Hur" without a platform of moral grandeur? Not much.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
What it lacks most of all is a convincing reason to exist.
Christianity Today
Alissa Wilkinson
Give me... Ben-Hur -- with its pulsating battles and chariot races, its proclamation that mercy and sacrifice are more revolutionary than anything you can cook up with swords or chariots -- over any of this summer's exhausting superhero movies.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
A film that fails to deliver pretty much all the way down the line.
National Catholic Register
Steven D. Greydanus
On paper, and sometimes even on-screen, there's some promise and potential in this remake ... An intractable problem is that the Jesus scenes are among the film's weakest moments.
