Movie Reviews of King of Kings
Movie Review: Magnificent!
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw "King of Kings" as a young boy, age 13, when it first hit Theaters. I was impressed then, and am impressed today! Especially watching the DVD in High Definition on my new 62 inch widescreen... its like being there in the theater at age 13 again! Jeffery Hunter plays a magnificent part... as one reviewer said, "those piercing blue eyes" ...the tender smile, firm resolute condemnation of wrong, moral character... he displays dignity, respect, and strength, yet shows humility, caring, and emotion. Yes, as with any film about Jesus or the Bible, there are representations that are not true to everyone's interpretation, but, generally, it is pretty close to the literal version of the Bible story. The music is incredible! The brilliant colors... Roman and Jewish cultures, Landscape, Sermon on the Mount... I highly, highly recommend it.Movie Review: A Truly Underrated Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
I am an agnostic and usually have no interest in Biblical movies. So why does this film move me so much? I guess Nicholas Ray's excellent direction, Jeffery Hunter's sensitive portrayal of Jesus, and Miklos Rosza's haunting and unforgettable music are the reason.
Ray's depiction of Jesus as a political figure makes him much more real to a non-spiritual person like me - as does Hunter's excellent acting. My favourite scene is when John The Baptist meets Jesus for the first time and realises he's with the Messiah - this scene has no dialogue but still is incredibly affecting thanks to excellent widescreen close-ups of Robert Ryan's and Hunter's eyes meeting. I love this film, and get goosebumps each time I see it - especially at the glorious music. A wonderful movie.
Movie Review: Hollywood's Best Jesus Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this when I was young and was thrilled to find it out on DVD. I believe this is Hollywood's best portrayal of Christ despite some innaccuracies. Jeffery Hunter did an awesome job of acting, giving us a dignified, majestic, powerful version of Christ. His piercing blue Angelo-Saxon eyes (much criticized over the years) are key to conveying an other-wordly demeanor about Christ, even if they are historically inaccurate, and who cares? The scenery is lush with many extras and costumes; there is much drama and spectacle without the use of computerized graphics. The acting is all well done and the casting perfect. I must comment on the music, also. It is spectacular, well worth an Oscar in my opinion.Movie Review: A wonderful movie.
Summary: 5 Stars
As much as Little Buddha,it's one of the best movies I've ever seen normally during Easter seasons in Europe.
The soundtrack is sublime.Plays are accurated,
as well as costumes.One of my friends is a tailor.She has tons of clothes to be finished.You can imagine how was it with this great movie,to prepare for a wonderful and colorful representation.
To me,Jesus was an intelligent Jew.He has saved the humanity and so for more than two thousand years,we are living the years of Christ.
The hope,equality,love and peace amongst the brotherhood of men are all wrapped up in the love of the almighty KING.
An evergreen religion as much as an evergreen movie.
Movie Review: CLASSIC REVERANCE FROM HOLLYWOOD!
Summary: 5 Stars
The 1961 classic telling of the life of our Lord and Saviour captures the pathos for all to witness and actually live within the story. The brilliant portrayal of Jeffery Hunter as Christ holds the audience spellbound and the charactor actors complement the ambiance of the rich deccor and lavish sets. When you look at this film, you cannot help but to yearn for the good old days when epics were concrete and fulfilling. The Musical soundtrack is hauntingly mesmorizing and the climactic ending of this true story stays in ones memory for weeks and months to come. This is the Greatest Story EVER told and it is one you can never forget! You must experience this movie!
