"For me, both films are good but flawed. Ben-Hur contains some of the best action scenes I've ever seen on film. The chariot race belongs in my top 10 favorite scenes of all time. Unfortunately, I found the film to be way too religious. Being not a religious person, I didn't really like the last half hour of the film. Despite that, it's definitely a good film with good acting and beautiful cinematography. Spartacus isn't as religious as Ben-Hur, which is a plus for me. The cinematography is beautiful to look at and the acting is solid, especially Laurence Olivier. The action scenes are also pretty good, but not as good as those in Ben-Hur. The film does contain quite a few slow moments, unfortunately. For me, Ben-Hur is the better movie. This is mostly because of the better action sequences. I also found the pacing better in Ben-Hur."
