I had bought King of Kings originally on VHS, now that I have purchased it on DVD the clarity of the video is far more superior. As for the movie it gives you an understanding on what Jesus had gone through in his life here on earth,and also to give direction to the people into guiding them in having faith and to believe that God is there to help them. It doesn't matter what you go through God is always there. Overall this is a great movie to start with, very easy to understand, and also to make you think......
November 18, 2008 |  | one of the worst life's of christ |  |
rent it first jeff hunter just reads the script no emotion poor acting, great music score by rosza
August 25, 2008This is the best portrayal of the Life of Jesus Christ ever made. Jeffrey Hunter does an excellent job of playing this part.
April 8, 2008***1/2 1961. Directed by Nicholas Ray. One nomination for the Golden Globes (Best Musical Score). The life of Jesus of Nazareth. Not bad if you can endure the Hollywood treatment of the Gospels. The production design is good and the actors convincing. For once, the screenwriter didn't focus the action on the main character alone who, if I'm correct, doesn't appear on the screen more than half of the film. Apart to the fans of this special kind of production, KING OF KINGS will appeal to Nicholas Ray completists only because the mark of the director is not very visible here to say the least. A curiosity.
April 6, 2008 |  | One of my favorites of all time! |  |
King of Kings is one of my favorite movies from the moment that I saw it. I love the cast, I love the clothes, the drama and the emotion behind the film. And I love Jeffrey Hunter in this role very much. I think he balances perfectly the devotion of the Christ but at the same the tenderness that he displayed. My favorite part in the film is where he cures the crippled boy without touching him and to see the joy reflected in that child's face echoed my own. I love this film and it is part of my special library! I would definitely purchase it over and over again...
