Ben-Hur

I gave this film a 6 out of 10.

The movie Ben-Hur is about a Jewish prince that was wronged by the Roman soldiers in the beginning of the 1st century. This movie stars Charlton Heston as Juddah Ben-Hur, Stephen Boyd as Messalah, and Haya Haraeet as Ester. This film is filled with drama, action, and a feel for adventure.The film is very colorful and the acting is good. The actors fit the characters well, also. The film was directed by William Wyler and was released in 1951. This film also won 11 Academy Awards.

This movie is actually called Ben-Hur: The Tale of Christ because Juddah's and Jesus's lives follow side by side. One can see that Jesus and Juddah were both born in the same time, they were both betrayed by a Roman soldier or a person in charge, but one difference between them, a major difference, is that Jesus sacrificed himself and forgave the people that betrayed him. Juddah Ben-Hur wanted revenge.

I gave this film a six out of ten stars because I didn't really like the story. I didn't get into it at all. I like the colors and the way the film looked, but nothing else. The action scenes in this film are cool because they don't look fake. I disliked the wideness of screen and I felt that overall the film just wasn't for me.

I most likely wouldn't watch this film again.
