Review of King of Kings

King of Kings (1961)
Boring and badly cast
25 July 1999
The Hollywood community called this one "I Was A Teenage Jesus", thanks to the miscasting of Jeffrey Hunter in the leading role. He spends the entire movie with his big blue eyes raised to heaven, more to show off how big and blue they are than anything involving God.

Good Christians may pardon the moviemakers, it is reverential, but it's not a good movie. See "Ben Hur" or "The Ten Commandments" again if you want a good biblical film. Or even the min-iseries "Jesus of Nazareth" if you want a decent version of the New Testament.
