Fantastic!

Rating: 10/10 (15 April 2003)

I think it's almost impossible not to love this wonderful movie starred by Charlton Heston. It's brilliant plot, very good performances and remarkable direction. It's just unforgettable!
Charlton Heston is competent as Judah Ben-Hur, a man who's betrayed by his long time friend who wants to be powerful and sends Ben-Hur to prison just to be feared by people. What we see after this movie picture is a show of great actors playing their roles beautifully and making "Ben-Hur" one of the best films ever made.
It wasn't easy to make such epic in the late 50's. Technology was poor and shooting outside was a big problem. However, William Wyler directed this movie in a master way and made it as well as it could be. There aren't many directors who could make another "Ben-Hur" even with the knowledge and equipment we have today.
My rate 10/10
