The CGI effects should be spectacular (IMAX 3D and all that)! I don't care if some critics said they were cheesy.
But, no matter what, there's no Miklos Rozsa in the credits! (Who's this Marco Beltrami guy anyway?)
Yes indeed, there's a direct line of musical descent from Respighi's Roman Trilogy (and Bloch's Jewish-themed works) to Rozsa's "biblical epics" such as Ben-Hur - and Rozsa kept the standard pretty darn high IMHO! A worthy successor to such greats as Respighi and Bloch, although I'd say that that final tear-jerking "Ah" chorus probably owes more to Bloch than to Respighi. ;-)
BTW, the director (Timur Bekmambetov from Kazakhstan) claims that his new Ben-Hur is a "re-interpretation", not a "re-make". Probably so - it's only 2/3 as long! ;-)
