One of the best movies of the time

Rating: 8/10 (7 January 2016)

Ben Hur was the first pre '60s movie I seriously saw. And it was just as exciting as watching a newer film.
Despite it's a rather old movie, so there aren't the effects of nowadays, and it is also really long, it just keeps you attached until the really end. Much like the count of montecristo, Ben has quite a few adventures and takes his revenge. Story-wise, Ben Hur is also partly a religious film. In the background there's always Jesus, who lived in the period.
I won't hold you any longer. It might be a little outdated, but Ben Hur is a movie I preferred seeing waaay more than seeing Gone with the wind (You can check my review).
