5 stars (Exceptional) Ben Hur is a magnificent and epic film in every possible way: the set pieces, the action sequences, the script, (the running length) all amount to an all-time classic of the genre. ~Tom H
5 stars (Exceptional) Ben Hur is a classic film that is still great esp. the Chariot race scene ith Charlton Heston ~emjay
3 stars (Good Enough) It's easy to watch this movie and think "great" but really mean "expensive". Heston mostly acts through the veins in his neck. Dawdling script that mostly just connects set pieces. The chariot scene is harrowing, though. ~Pop&Coffee
