Ben Hur (2010)
Doesn't hold a candle to the Charlton Heston version.
Vital scenes eg. The marine battle and others were missing altogether.
Poor production compared to the classic Charlton Heston version.
Death at a Funeral (2007)
Tried hard to be funny
I was waiting for the movie to make me laugh. Reached the end but still no real rib-tickling. Sorry.
Ben-Hur (2016)
Poor excuse for a remake
Even with the special effects, this 2016 version is pretty substandard compared to the Charlton Heston Ben Hur. The movie missed out vital scenes such as Ben Hur travelling to Rome to become the son of the counsellor. Also the first Jesus scene is pretty poor compared to the previous version which for me was extremely touching. I was expecting a much better chariot scene and also the galleon fight scene. Given the lack of special effects in the Charlton Heston version, these 2 scenes alone were superior to this latest version. For those who haven't seen the Charlton Heston Version you will be very happy you've taken the 3+ hours to see it. Sorry but this latest version I found very disappointing.
