Critic Reviews of "Ben-Hur (1959)"
Chicago ReaderDecember 13, 2006Entire new frontiers in boredom were opened up by this MGM whopper from 1959.
Time OutJanuary 26, 2006The movie could be trying to say that for some people religion is an escape from their sexuality, but it seems unlikely.
New York TimesMay 20, 2003Mr. Wyler and his money-free producers have smartly and effectively laid stress on the powerful and meaningful personal conflicts that are strong in this old heroic tale.
Los Angeles TimesJune 05, 2002If we later came to realize that movies could be a whole lot better than Ben-Hur, that still doesn't detract from the enjoyment the film still provides.
VarietyFebruary 13, 2001A majestic achievement, representing a superb blending of the motion picture arts by master craftsmen.
Antagony & EcstasyDecember 06, 2016The most egregiously boring movie ever graced with the Best Picture Oscar... though in fairness, egregious boredom is one of the cornerstones of the Bible epic genre.
ColeSmithey.comJuly 25, 2015[VIDEO ESSAY] It's worth sitting through four hours of Charlton Heston's hammy pregnant pauses of strained dialogue and toothy grimaces just to savor the legendary larger-than-life marathon where single rider chariots...
Daily Telegraph (UK)January 01, 2015Although it is a spectacle film, the story of how a man takes on the tyranny of the Romans, with all sorts of horrible consequences to himself and his family, is powerful and gripping.
QuickflixFebruary 23, 2014At 212 minutes it is far too long, and large swathes of the action appear redundant or unnecessary. "Bigger than Ben-Hur!" they say. That may not be a compliment.
Radio TimesFebruary 12, 2014Some critics believe that William Wyler's box-office smash is no match for the 1925 silent version, but there's no denying that the race that forms the famous climax is one of the most iconic sequences in Hollywood history.
