Worst Movie To Ever Win Best Picture Oscar?

Rating: 1/10 (28 July 2006)

No long review...I'm gonna keep this short & sweet. This has got to be one of the worst movies ever! Certainly it ranks up there in one of the worst Best Picture Oscar winners.
I simply can't understand the popularity of this movie...It just drags and drags and drags.
It literally has one scene in the movie that holds any interest for me and of course that's the classic chariot race scene.
If you've never seen this movie but you feel you must, I would advise you to get a DVD & immediately click on the chariot scene. If you do that, you'll have seen the only worthwhile part of this movie.
If you want to watch a fun, entertaining biblical epic, check out The Ten Commandments, again with Charlton Heston. It tends to lean toward the campy, actually, but that's really what makes it fun. DeMille wound up making a melodrama on the epic scale instead of a ponderous, deadly slow film like Ben Hur.
Ben Hur is one BAD movie and I love movies...have seen thousands and I'm telling you: This is THE WORST!!!!
