VHS Movie Reviews of Ben-Hur
Movie Review: The essence of well-done cinema
Summary: 5 Stars
The very definition of an epic film. Grand, sweeping, yet intelligent, touching and intricate. Exquisite acting performances by Heston and Boyd; lush sets; impressive music. A timeless classic.
Summary of Ben-Hur
Ben-Hur scooped an unprecedented 11 Academy Awards? in 1959 and, unlike some later rivals, richly deserved every single one. This is epic filmmaking on a scale that had not been seen before and is unlikely ever to be seen again. But it's not just running time or a cast of thousands that makes an epic, it's the subject matter, and here the subject--Prince Judah Ben-Hur (Charlton Heston) and his estrangement from old Roman pal Messala (Stephen Boyd)--is rich, detailed, and sensitively handled. Director William Wyler, who had been a junior assistant on MGM's original silent version back in 1925, never sacrifices the human focus of the story in favor of spectacle, and is aided immeasurably by Miklos Rozsa's majestic musical score, arguably the greatest ever written for a Hollywood picture. At four hours it's a long haul (especially given some of the portentous dialogue), but all in all, Ben-Hur is a great movie, best seen on the biggest screen possible. --Mark WalkerAction & Adventure VHS Video
