this is still pretty much the same story that you know and begrudgingly tolerate whenever you're visiting your parents and it's on Turner Classic Movies
passable for the most part, but laughably inept in places, Ben-Hur 2016 relies on its overly CG action to pull it through. But in the end it can only stagger, bruised and bloodied, across the finish line
it offers what could be a curtain line for a downer ending, before remembering that there are some minutes left until the end credits, and the movie has a Son Of God to crucify and a soul to save
