Ben Hur Reviews
“It can't always escape the shadow of its namesake, but when this Ben-Hur comes into its own, it does so with a thrilling fire-and-brimstone ferocity.” – We Got This Covered
“A film that's got two strong lead performances, a terrific first act, an exciting chariot race, and a message of forgiveness.” – Collider
“Paramount's remake of Ben-Hur stands on its own as a decent film. Timur Bekmambetov delivers a solidly entertaining, well-shot, biblical epic. Charlton Heston is not spinning in his grave.” – MovieWeb
