The only thing wrong with this picture is its 3.5 hour length, but even with this, you don't realize you are watching it for this long. It is clear right from the get-go director William Wyler set out to direct an epic and he succeeded. Only bad part about it, and it really isn't bad, is the Bible doesn't say how many wise men there were. We assume there were three from the three gifts Jesus was given. That being said, this picture won 11 academy awards, including Best Picture, Actor, music, supporting actor, etc. It was awesome in 1959 when i first saw it, and it is still awesome today. This dvd is super good and a perfect rendition of the original theatrical presentation, complete with overture and intermission music. I miss overtures and intermission music, they really added a lot to the presentation. I remember listening to the so-called soundtrack album which was issued at the time and thought there was a lot of music not there. Now, with CD's available, the complete score is also available for a totally satisfying experience. I hope this movie stays around for 50 more years.

Da muss man nicht viel schreiben. Der Film ist ein Klassiker. Ein Jude, Ben Hur, der immer ein treuer römischer Staatsbürger, wird durch einen blöden Zwischenfall zum Staatsfeind. Er kämpft um zu überleben. Der Film endet mit dem spektakulärsten Wagenrennen der Geschichte. Ein Sandalenfilm der Extraklasseße.

Magnífica remasterización que se ha conseguido en formato blu ray. Me decidí por compra el blu ray de la edición inglesa básicamente por los extras ya que, ni la edición española (aunque tenga formato digibook), ni la edición francesa (formato metálico) ni ninguna otra edición creo que tienen los extras de la edición inglesa. Esta edición contiene tres blu rays, dos para la película en si y un tercero únicamente para extras. Estos son, Ben Hur de 1925, un documental sobre el rodaje de Ben Hur de más de una hora en la que salen hijos de Heston, la mujer y más personas que estuvieron relacionadas con la película y un otro documental de una hora de duración con el director de la película. También incluye un video sobre la ceremonia de los Oscars, y más extras. Esta edición me ha encantado por todos los extras que contiene y por calidad de imagen que es espectacular. La única pega es que el diseño de la carátula no es no tan llamativo como la edición española con libreto y o el estuche metálico de la edición francesa. Pero puestos a elegir compensa más esta edición por todos los extras que contienen, que son una joya.

I don't need to review the film: everyone has seen it on TV every year for fifty years. What is absolutely jaw dropping is the restoration. I can see now why the movie is split over two Blu Ray disks maintaining the bit rate. The level of detail is just incredible, better than you could imagine was captured on a sixty six year old film and the colours just pop without being unnatural. The digital sound is also sumptuous and the perfect balance of music and dialogue. It takes an already epic classic and elevates it to levels I did not think possible. One of the greatest relmasters of an old film I have ever witnessed. Disk 3 is full of extras for nerdy collectors like myself. Brilliant
