Movie Reviews

EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevyNicholas Ray's biblical epic, toward the end of his career, is an intelligent film that finds the right balance between exteriors and interiors, stunning vistas and compelling characters.
Creative Loafing - 8/10 by Matt BrunsonBecause the makers of King of Kings took a chance by casting heartthrob Jeffrey Hunter as Christ, this was quickly dubbed by industry wags I Was a Teenage Jesus. But the film is far better than that label would suggest.
Seanax.com - 7/10 by Sean Axmaker... whereas detractors dismissed the films as I Was a Teenage Jesus, it's more accurate to describe it as Rebel With a Cause.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzA sweeping and at times stirring biblical epic.
Antagony & Ecstasy - 7/10 by Tim BraytonMany of the scenes (especially the ones centered on Pilate and John the Baptist) are as good as anything in the history of the Biblical epic.
Empire Magazine - 6/10 by David ParkinsonJeffrey Hunter is less Saviour of the Christian faith and more anti-hero with many very human doubts and concerns.
Variety - 4/10 by Variety StaffDirector Nicholas Ray has brooded long and wisely upon the meaning of his meanings, has planted plenty of symbols along the path, yet avoided the banalities of religious calendar art.
User Review - 10/10 by debbieAn intelligent look at the life of the nazarene, king of kings depicts the life of christ from his birth to his resurrection in an unconventional but rather effective way. what makes the movie even more compelling than its rivals is the way it contextualizes the story of christ and attempts to show us events from a more pragmatic perspective. Arguably the best movie ever made on the life of christ.
User Review - 10/10 by Albert OWatching again on TBN 4-2-17. Rip torn Judas. Robert Ryan (leftie) John the Baptist. Brings back memories of '61.
User Review - 10/10 by Ron HJeffrey Hunter does a very good job portraying Jesus Christ, which is never an easy role to portray!
