I heard someone on a conservative radio show say that if you judged it as a remake of the Heston film you would be disappointed. But if you looked at it as a retelling of the story it was actually decent.

Well, that’s what I heard...

I viewed it two nights ago. It’s not a remake of Heston’s “Ben Hur” which was about “redemption and revenge.”

Rhona Downy’s script in her Ben Hur is about “redemption and forgiveness.” That was my take.

Okay film; cinematography was excellent.

Rush Limbaugh said that after he had a private viewing.
