I understand they make Hollywood movies again when an entire generation or two have not seen a film...but with Ben-Hur you are asking people to recreate what many feel is one fo the greatest films of all time. If for some reason you have never seen this movie, you owe it yourself to find a copy and watch, it's really good and if you have even a shred of belief in Jesus or the Bible it will hit some major notes for you.
Now it's never a good idea to rip a movie you have never seen but already this has a 32% RT score and there were no reviews until today, usually movies allow screenings a week or two ahead but this was a rush job of screening last minute so they weren't over confident in their product to being with which begs the questions...WTH did you make it to begin with?
Why do they even try if they cannot improve upon the original? Why not re-release the original with an updated something to entice movie goers to view something from the past that still is a high quality film even 60 years later. This is like Gone With the Wind for a lot of folks.
Help me understand why they would even try to release this film or what the audience might be? Young folks, teenagers, 20 somethings? Why would they think this is a good idea? No adult over 40 is going to see this I would hope even though people 40 yrs old would not be born for another 17 years after Ben-Hur was released.
This year at the movies never ends, they still have reboots for movies like Clue later this year. Pete' Dragon, Jason Bourne, Star Trek, it's just a reboot or sequel every week at the movies lately.
Now get off my lawn!
