Not that bad a production, considering the budget. And it might have been more widely accepted if not for Heston and the '59 version. But it brings to mind what I heard a movie critic once say: "If they're going to do re-makes, they should re-make bad movies, not good ones."
@jimtrueblue99 Yeah, that's a big pitty, because there are many good scripts, who never see the light of the sun. There are unfortunately the wrong persons on the top positions.
@1998malvina Tell me about it. I always wanted to see this besides the basic clips which only aggravated me since I could not find this. Then a few days ago I saw a great video with scenes from this and I searched and searched and was so glad to find it. I dont care if it will be boring since Joseph is in it!!!!! He is sooooooooooo hot.
Lodevole l'intenzione ma... il titolo del tuo upload riporta una parola in italiano ("completo") e il video in realtà ha l'audio in lingua originale (inglese) e i sottotitoli (presumo) in spagnolo...
So basically River Song is Klaus' mother? Which means Klaus is the Doctor's (step)son? All the more reason to marry Klaus! Look at that family you're getting!
@lorrainewands Yes this version was way different and not necessarily in the best way. Seemed like the wanted to soften Messala's character in part.
How close is the Wyler version to the book? I remember seeing the silent version where Ben-Hur tries to lead an army to save the Christ but is too late. That was quite different from the Wyler screenplay.
@lemaxmas Well, I'm currently re-reading the book and, while Wyler's version resembled it far more closely than this monstrosity, the book does revolve a bit more around Jesus Christ, his identity as the prophesied Christ and how Ben Hur's hoped involvement with him will supposedly (according to Simonides and his own imagination) better fulfill his own desire for revenge. Obviously revenge wasn't a part of Christ's ministry, but, yes Wyler's version honors the book better.
@lorrainewands Thanks. I did miss the character of Balthazar, who was such a significant part of the Wyler version. Plus the portrayal of the Christ was so powerful. In this remake they make the Christ seem like some guy and take away the real pivotal meaning of the relationship between Ben-Hur and how it transforms him, his family and the world around him.
Esther and Judah make a great couple, I wish the mini series weren't finished. Plus Joseph Morgan's so handsome and charming and Emily VanCamp's so innocent and pure.
Don't compare this version with the heston version - the heston version was a full blown blockbuster movie this is a made for tv mini series - personally i'm not a big fan of heston he has a tendancy to overact!
@gato00001 It's not meant to match or surpass the original. However this was a great retelling of it. It was well worth watching for Ben Cross's performance alone. He was amazing as always!
@gooangel2 I agree it was very good, and I would add the Hugh Bonneville was oustanding as Pontius Pilate too. He oozed authority and arrogance, but also showed the stress of his position. Really chilling the way he glared at Messala when demoting him early on.
awesome ive never heard of the older 1 but this is aright + it has klaus ~ Joseph Morgan and Alex Kingston (river song) thats the reason im watching it :) thnx btw for uploading the whole thing
O ben hur é um filme épico e clássico retrata o sofrimento do povo Judeu na mão da tirania romana esta mine serie deveria passar no Brasil . The ben hur film epic the classic retractation suffer to endure peopole jewish with despostism roman exhibition the Brazil
che bello questo film molto significativo !!!!!si e' molto bello e significativo,charleston eston e' bravo molto come attore e significativo,ha lavorato bene in questo film !!!!!!bravo e significativo
I don't think this was intended to be shown theatrically.It's unfortunate this did not get aired on American TV.Making a TV remake of such an epic is always challenging.They did a very good job with this and actually it feels much more realistic than the Heston version, but both this and the Heston versions are good for what they set out to do.However,I would have liked to have seen Kristin Kreuk as Esther instead(but only because I'm a major fan!).She deserved to be the romantic lead.
I watched it for the soul purpose that my future husband (Joseph Morgan will be mine XD) in it. I watched it and I was completely stunned. This movie is amazing and has now topped my favorite's list.
The problem with these modern films of ancient times is that the characters are just too "modern" and unconvincing. It's impossible to know just exactly how people behaved in those times but a brilliant director like William Wyler (1959 Ben -Hur) used a more formal approach in speech avoiding contemporary trends and therefore creating a more convincing sense of period even if it was way off the mark.
This film should have copied the original by not showing Christ face. I know the religious aspect was taken out of the this version and I'm agnostic but whether you believe in Christianity or not that man was a great man. But even if he was a myth, it was much more theatrical to hide his face and keep that sense of awe about him.
The only reason I started to watch was because of Joseph Morgan, but then as I watched I really liked it. The story is incredible, and the ending was so Amazing. Juda has a very strong spirit and very kind. In the end he forgives his friend. How can a movie like this not have been in theaters. I never heard of it before until I saw it tribute video for TVD.
@MsStarrystars This wasn't released in theaters i'm sure because they don't dare try compete with the the Wyler theatrical release. That movie earned more oscars than any other film until Titantic.
