"Naval Battle Is Just Awful": Record Oscar-Winning Historical Epic Fails To Impress Roman Expert

[هَـ-ђāŵĩ-ـَاوِي]

The Oscar-winning historical epic Ben-Hur has failed to impress Roman expert Michael Taylor, who has criticized the film for its naval battle among other aspects within the same scene. The 1959 classic follows a Jewish prince who, after being sold into slavery, returns to Rome with his freedom seeking revenge on those who wronged him. The movie includes plenty of classic scenes, such as a chariot race and a naval battle, later inspiring the poorly-received 2016 Ben-Hur remake, which never stood a chance against the classic original.
