The 2010 mini-series "Ben Hur" isn't bad, as light Friday night
entertainment goes. Still, "Ben Hur" without the Christ seems very
strange indeed. OK, Jesus isn't entirely absent from the story, but he plays a
much less central role than he should (except for 10 minutes at the very end).
Instead, Judah Ben Hur seems more interested in harlots. And I don't mean Mary
Magdalene, LOL. Some of the actors are superb, others feel bland, and the story
doesn't grip the viewer as the movie with Charlton Heston did. Part of me only
wants to give this "Ben Hur" two stars, but in the end, I'll
nevertheless give it three. Ave!
