2016 Films Ranked (170 movies items)"It pales in comparison to the original, and some of the CGI looks really bad, but the action scenes are mostly well done, there are moments of genuine poignancy, and the film strays from the original just enough to justify its existence, while still staying true to it. 6.5/10"
Films I've Seen in 2016 (August) (38 movies items)"When: August 21st First-Time Viewing: Yes. How: In theaters. What'd I Think?: Arguably unnecessary, but still engaging, different enough from original, if heavily flawed. My Rating: 7/10 Other Notes: NA."

July to August 2016 Tomatometer Predictions (21 movies items)"Tomatometer Guess: 39%. Actual Score: 32%. Ben-Hur is yet another generic,bare-bones, run-of-the-mill remake of a classic film. It's at least an entertaining competently made film, but there's no real reason to rush out and see this."
