Not necessary

Rating: 4/10 (3 February 1999)

Even if "Ben Hur" of 1959 isn't a bad movie, it's an unnecessary one. In my opinion, the first "Ben Hur" with Novarro is far better than this remake, which shares the fate of many remakes: you go and see it, perhaps you like it, but at the same time you are tempted to frown and ask: so what? It was all done already!
