I haven't seen the original and I can't make comparisons. All I can say is that I found this remake well-made and very entertaining - at least three times better than "Ben-Hur". It's way overlong but genuinely exciting at times (and even ONE genuinely exciting sequence in a movie is a rare thing), and well-mounted. Brando's performance is excellent: he's like a time-bomb, and when he finally explodes, it's a really terrific moment.
