Ben-Hur is the epic story of Judah Ben-Hur (Jack Huston), a prince falsely accused of treason by his adopted brother Messala (Toby Kebbell), an officer in the Roman army. Stripped of his title, separated from his family and the woman he loves (Nazanin Boniadi), Judah is forced into slavery. After years at sea, Judah returns to his homeland to seek revenge, but finds redemption. Based on Lew Wallace’s timeless novel, "Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ." Also starring Morgan Freeman and Rodrigo Santoro.
This movie wanted to be an epic film but it absolutely was not. It didn't even really have the budget to be so or it was massively misspent. The acting wasn't epic. The action wasn't epic. The movie ends up just kind of being there. It's a textbook end of summer type of movie.
I wouldn't really recommend people wasting their time with this. There are much worse things you could watch but this just really isn't worth your time and definitely not your money.
