I saw the original Heston version years ago but I enjoyed this version of it more

Reviewed in Canada on 3 July 2016

As a fan of Joseph Morgan, I wanted to watch his version of Ben-Hur. The series aired on CBC but I missed it. I saw the original Heston version years ago but I enjoyed this version of it more. I may be biased due to being a fan of not only Morgan but also Van Camp. The setting and overall effects were well done and quite high quality for a tv miniseries. I recommend this for fans of the original or fans of historical movies

Ben Hur for the Twenty-First Century?

Reviewed in Canada on 24 June 2011

Ben Hur is my all time favourite movie, the 60's version with Charlton Heston, etc. I think that people who are not familiar with the bible's New Testament Gospels will not fully appreciate the purpose of the book, and therefore the movie script. The movie is sub-tilted "the story of the Christ". The 60's version features incredibly good acting and a faithful following of a man's journey to faith in God and follows the storyline faithfully. The newest version of "Ben Hur" side steps the quality and storyline of the 60's Academy Award Winning version. I found the new version to lack the impact and grandeur of the former. It is however, well worth watching. I recommend you also watch the 60's version which is now out on Blu Ray in its 50th Anniversary edition. The era of the Roman Empire along with its military might & decadence is pitted against the people of Israel and in particular a Judean family of the house of Hur of which Judah Ben Hur is the main character who must overcome seemingly invincible odds against his survival and that of his family. We are given an indepth look a life in those times and the struggles of humanity. The cinematography of the 60's version is award winning. The new version pales in comparison but is still very worth while watching. The sea battle scene and the chariot race and the personal story and acting make Ben Hur a must see movie. I rate the new version 3 out 5 and the 60's version 5 out of 5.

Promising adaption of a classic novel

Reviewed in Canada on 24 June 2011

This was a promising feature when it first aired on Canadian TV in April 2010, and now it has finally arrived on DVD! Since I am from the US, I couldn't find this film anywhere until I stumbled upon Amazon.ca. I was excited to know that it was available on DVD here, and am very glad that I found it! The film is not exactly how I remember it from it's airing (there are some R-level sexual content and nudity in two scenes that was edited from the TV airing, something I wish I had known about before purchasing), but overall this DVD was worth the wait for an ardent Ben-Hur fan like myself.

Good but not great

I give it a three because all and all this is the teen version of Ben Hur with a touch of fan service for Joseph Morgan. Of course I am not complaining lol but it is still a interesting watch since it has a Game if Thrones vibe to it lol
