A classic Production

Rating: 9/10 (29 March 2000)

Ben Hur
DIRECTION -% Didn't it get an oscar in this department? Well watch the fast realistic action scenes if you are not convinced. Three people died on the set I was told.
ACTING `% More oscars and great performances.
EDITING % Racing your car is not as thrilling as this! Though the film could have been shorter as the length may need people having a second sitting!
PLOT % Fight for freedom with overshadows of the cross in the background.
STRONG WORDS AND VIOLENCE ETC % No strong words, but the action content is there.
MUSIC w% Nice score.
SOUND % Feels like you are there if the screen was bigger, and the sound was louder you would be.
HOOKABILITY `% Grand on scale, don't know what to expect.... but you want to know considering it won 11 oscars.
LASTABILITY % If you have got the stamina and want to see the highlight of the film. Don't fall asleep!
OVERALL % A classical in terms of production, design and length..... the movie's not bad as well either
