A serviceable if uninspired take on a story told countless times in just as varied formats.

It’s impossible to watch a film in which Jesus Christ says it’s wrong to profit from religion and then watch the filmmakers panhandle for extra money at the end. At least, not without imagining the screen getting struck by lightning.

Less of a fully satisfying animated feature that works on its own terms than a teaching tool that is clearly intended as such.

Rated: 2/4

The King of Kings is appropriate for younger kids and families, but pre-teens may be a stretch.

Rated: 5/10

Midwest Film Journal

As a fan of animation, it’s especially strange to hear Jim Cummings (who has voiced Winnie the Pooh, among many other characters) voice the soldier mocking Jesus on the cross, but that’s just the nature of the beast.

Rincón de cine

A story told "lightly," though undoubtedly with its terrifying moments. But ultimately suitable for the little ones. (...) A Holy Week tale that is obviously impressive, as it transformed humanity more than 2,000 years ago. [Full Review in Spanish]

Rated: 2.5/5
