<p>There have been adaptations of Charlton Heston-starrer 'Ben Hur' before and after but none have really matched up. Timur Bekmambetov tries hard to match up to the majesty of Wyler's effort and comes quite close given the advantages of modern technology, but despite the epical outlay, this one's a hollow affront</p>
