Ben-Hur
Timur Bekmambetov
1/9
An hour and forty-five shorter, and still feels twice as long. It actually makes the original better. Been trying to get through it for three days, but I’m finally giving up. Don’t watch this.
Ben-Hur [1959]
Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut [2006]
Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut
Richard Donner
4/6
Well how about that. That was actually a lot better. Far better pacing of the story, much better character exploration, better dialogue, even better sets and effects. Of course this comes at the expense of some stupid action sequencec, so I get it.
Except the endig. Let us never mention the ending
Superman II [1980]
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children [2016]
300: Rise of an Empire [2014]
Hitchcock [2012]
