Ben-Hur [Blu-ray Boxset] [Canadian; 50th...I put this one up there with the greats. Charlton Heston was unforgetable, along with a very good supporting cast. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Ben-Hur [Blu-ray Boxset] [Canadian; 50th...One of the best historical dramas ever produced. William Wyler did a great job showing the dissolving friendship of Judah Ben-Hur and Messala. I liked the chariot race, but it was predictable. Heston did an average job. A bit on the long end at over 3 1/2 hours, but a classic nonetheless. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Ben-Hur [Blu-ray Boxset] [Canadian; 50th...Real tripe. Starring the worst actor ever puked out onto the public by the Hollywood star system. A tremendous bore. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Ben-Hur [Blu-ray Boxset] [Canadian; 50th...The chariot race sequence in this film might be 15 of the best minutes in film history. However, the film's not perfect- it's a little old and corny like much of the films from this era. Just a terrific story. . .Ben Hur couldn't be made today with the way films are produced. I'm not a religous person, but I simply enjoyed this story of a person's quest for revenge and redemption. What a shame I only saw it on TV, this film must be magnificent on the big screen.

Ben-Hur [Blu-ray Boxset] [Canadian; 50th...I bet I'll change this to a higher rating once I see it on the big screen. I can tell it's that kind of movie. TV can't be doing it justice. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Ben-Hur [Blu-ray Boxset] [Canadian; 50th...I would put Ben-Hur in my top 15. The movie was incredible, particularly the chariot race and the scene with the slaves rowing the ship faster and faster. However, I did not like the ending. I feel that the end (spoiler coming up) made a pro-religious statement. By curing everyone, the movie said that Jesus was the son of God and could magically cure people. Before this, the movie portrayed Jesus as a great guy but did not make a religious statement. At the latest, I would have ended the film, if I were William Wyler, when Judah gave water to Jesus. That was a powerful moment. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Ben-Hur [Blu-ray Boxset] [Canadian; 50th...The greatest religious historical movie ever made. A long but captivating film about the evil Roman Empire and the rise of christianity. Directors William Wylers masterpiece. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Ben-Hur [Blu-ray Boxset] [Canadian; 50th...A masterpiece movie made of Lew Wallace story of love,belief and dedication. I have seen this movie now more than 10 times. Every time I feel I see that for the first time. Charleton Heston(Judah Benhur)does a splendid leading role and Stephen Boyd makes an excellent supporting role. Those 20 minutes of Chariot race will put everybody on the edge of their seat.I think this will be one of the all time great biblical theme movie in big screens. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful?

Ben-Hur [Blu-ray Boxset] [Canadian; 50th...Ben Hur is the classic tale of one man's spiritual quest and the hell he had to endure to complete it. It is also a deeply moving and masterful tribute by author Lew Wallace to faith, love and salvation as well as one of the best and most enduring examples of Christian fiction ever written. I'm not a big Heston fan, but I have to admit he really did an excellent job in this film. In what was possibly the best role of his career he took Judah Ben Hur on a very believable journey from the lofty heights of a wealthy aristocrat to the depths of a galley slave and back again. I watch this movie every time I have a chance and each time I do I find it - and especially the final scenes - as moving as I did the first time. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Ben-Hur [Blu-ray Boxset] [Canadian; 50th...I know everyone else thought this movie was really good, but we watched it at school in 6th grade and most of the people in my class, including me thought it was boring. And it was gross how it actually showed Jesus being nailed to a cross. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Ben-Hur [Blu-ray Boxset] [Canadian; 50th...Ben Hur was a revolutionary movie with respect to special effects featured in it. Most notably, the sea battle, and the warrior cart scenes are outstanding. Of course, considered from our turn of the century point of view, those effects may seem 'primative' (bad word) but the movie as a whole counts as one of the most significant in movie history. Also by depicting Biblical events and the historical surroundings in a very attractive way. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Ben-Hur [Blu-ray Boxset] [Canadian; 50th...
Five stars on the big screen, probably three and a half on television. Heston at his best.
