Worthy of all the hype around it!

Ben Hur is one of the best epics in the movie history and at my opinion the best of all the great movies William Wyler has made. Simply brilliant in every single way. William Wyler's directing in this movie is so ahead of it's time and the screenplay is just so brilliant and well interpreted that i'm simply amazed with how good this movie is. This movie's got it all. It's filled with brilliant action and heartbreaking moments that are never irritating or unnecessary. It's really hard to make those two thing's work so good together but William Wyler did it all with such style and perfect timing that it's near four hours of running time just passes by you.
Anything i say about this movie is completely unnecessary since it really speaks for it self. All the Eleven Oscars it got are well deserved and i'm just sorry that it didn't get the one for best screenplay too.
Watch this movie! It's brilliant! If not for the movie it self than at least for the chariot's scene! It's A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!
