Remaking Ben-Hur is like remaking the Godfather.
They should never remake that classic, or Planet of the Apes, or Gone with the Wind, or any movie that was perfect already as it was.
I am the crazy fundamentalist christian from the site and had no interest in watching the remake, although I watched the original a bunch of times.
Religious movies should be independent and original anyways, any shadow of the gospel message gets lost when modern Hollywood put his disgusting witchcraft pedophile claws in it.

Actually, the Planet of the Apes reboot is amazing, but that is because they did something actually clever and COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. I'm really looking forward to the 3rd one of those.

The reboot is cool cause it is not a remake. The remake from Burton is kinda silly.
