Netflixing Ben-Hur Part II

Okay. I just finished watching Part II of Ben Hur, and I definitely get it. It was amazing. Sure it's dated, so I don't know how to explain how much I enjoyed this movie except to say that it was just done fabulously well. I truly, honestly don't know how to convey why I like it as much as I do.

The chariot scenes were both awesome and brutal. I saw one too many people crushed by the wheels of a chariot, but there are so many moving parts in these scenes - I can't imagine what production must have been like. I also had my eyes peeled for some mistakes that are said to be in those scenes, but I didn't see them.

This is definitely a five star movie. Hands down. I really liked it.
