Critics consensus

“With enough narrative depth to anchor the expected spectacle, King of Kings is a true blessing for fans of Biblical epics.”

Critic

Director Nicholas Ray makes few positive contributions.

RTEmpire MagazineMar 19, 2008

Jeffrey Hunter is less Saviour of the Christian faith and more anti-hero with many very human doubts and concerns.

RTVarietyOct 22, 2007

Director 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.

RTJet MagazineJan 16, 2024

The Gospels contain powerful dramatic values, but unfortunately these have not been transferred to the screen in this multi-million dollar production directed by [Nicholas Ray], a man of substantial demonstrated gifts.
