Leave your thoughts about Ben-Hur.
| IGN DVDR. L. ShafferA masterpiece of epic filmmaking, a profound religious experience and one of the greatest films ever made. |
| VarietyRonald HollowayBen-Hur is a majestic achievement, representing a superb blending of the motion picture arts by master craftsmen. |
| IGN DVDR.L. ShafferA masterpiece of epic filmmaking, a profound religious experience and one of the greatest films ever made. |
| The TelegraphMartin ChiltonAlthough 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. |
| Arizona Daily StarPhil VillarrealThe film moves with an assurance and majesty hardly seen in modern movies. |
| QuickflixGlenn DunksAt 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. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJack HarrisonAn extraordinary motion picture, greater in dimension and significance than any similar film of our time, Ben-Hur is more spectacular than any of the previous spectacles. More importantly, it is at the same time a highly rewarding dramatic experience, rich and complex in human values: a great adventure, full of excitement, visual beauty, thrills and unsurpassed cinema artistry. |
| EmpireWilliam ThomasLittle can come close to captivating the grandeur and epic quality of William Wyler's magnificent bum numb-er. |
| The New York TimesBosley CrowtherThe artistic quality and taste of Mr. Wyler have prevailed to make this a rich and glowing drama that far transcends the bounds of spectacle. His big scenes are brilliant and dramatic—that is unquestionable. There has seldom been anything in movies to compare with this picture's chariot race. |
| Kansas City KansanSteve CrumAwesome spectacle, unforgettable story, Heston's best |
