Hi everyone and welcome to another
edition of Trailer Critic. Today, we're taking a look at the
upcoming remake of a classic: Ben-Hur.
With the
recent revitalization of ancient Roman era movies, it would make sense to
retell one of the most famous stories ever to grace the silver screen. With
that being said, I have yet to watch the original Ben-Hur from
1959. But that's okay because when I watched this, I can make an objective
opinion on it without comparing it to the original.
So the
trailer brings thoughts of Gladiator, Pompeii, and
even the latest edition to this era: Risen.
Which, to be honest, isn't a bad thing, just isn't an original thing. I've
tried to enjoy the remakes of late, but there's just something missing from
them that you get from the originals.
Ben-Hur looks good - looks fantastic if I'm honest, so I only hope
that the storytelling is on par with not only the cinematography, but can
hearken back to the original Ben-Hur. If it can do all that, I'll
be well impressed. Expect the new Ben-Hur in theaters August
12th, 2016.
