The Short Movie Review:
I went in with no expectations of the movie but the acting brought out their A game and I came out really enjoying this film and the messages that carry with it. I will make no comparison to the Ben Hur Classic.
I'm reminded of the teachings of how we as humans should live as I watched. No Hate, just Love and work together, dropping the petty differences behind.
Outside of the messages and teachings from Christ himself also...
The Action was good, I would not say all that great but the rowing scene during the ship to ship combats with the Greek pirates was a new angle and pretty tense.
The Bad:
- What the FFFF was Morgan Freeman wearing... an his Dread Locks... this is where someone is just too popular to be in such an outfit. And I am sorry to say... Morgan Freeman treated this like an average documentary narration. He kind of mailed it in and I hate saying that he did.
- The Ending POP SONG... What???? Where did 2016 POP music fit into a film in the time of Christ....
What pop song at the end? The brothers reconciling and driving off reminded me alot of Fast and Furious.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't hear the very well placed out of place modern music as they rode of INTO THE SUN SET? To me it just ended on a bit of a cringe, but, I liked the Story. Maybe the way they filmed it... could have been better and... not a modern pop song.
