El Rey de Reyes

The voice acting was great.

The way HIS life was portrayed brought me to tears multiple times.

Visuals were very good, and they way the integrated the child he is telling the story to in to the story kept it interesting.

If you want a family friendly movie to take your kids to this is it.

We enjoyed the music as well.

I don't understand why this review has to be so long as I am a short and to the point type of person, and don't appreciate long winded answers to things that can be shared in a short period of time, thank you for listening, this should take my review of this great movie over the limit.

What a wonderful movie!! We took our 7yo great-grandson to see it. It was a perfect depiction of the life, death & Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ for young children.

Our Great-grandson can't wait for it to be available on the app!

I encourage all to go see it!!

We loved it so much we joined the Angel Guild. Excellent content for kids & families.

There are wonderful series' of adventure, faith & encouragement.

We especially love Turtle Twins!! Grandma has a souped up, Time traveling scooter. She & the twins travel back & meet George Washington, Ben Franklin & even Carl Marx, etc. All to teach about history & even how our government works.

There is so much trash being called entertainment. It's refreshing to have positive, faithful options.

I'm a huge fan of Angel Studios. I watch every movie they come out with. I'm a member of the guild.

When I first saw this movie preview I was excited and then skeptical. The movie looked great in the preview but I wasn't to sure about it being made by Seong-ho Jang. He is amazing with visual effects, but a South Korean telling the story of Jesus with a release date near Easter, made me a little skeptical. Well, he knocked it out of the park.

The story telling using the Princess Bride type narration was brilliant. It keeps the audience engaged and was very easy to understand for kids. It was all around great for family friendly.

If you purchase tickets through Angel they were doing a buy an adult ticket get a kid ticket for free.

I took my 7 year old to see this and while I was a little nervous how she would respond, she has been asking a lot of questions and hoped this would be helpful for her to learn about Jesus in a way that she will understand. The story is presented in a way that's entertaining for children and tells his most significant stories from birth to crucifixion. I was particularly worried how they would portray his death but they got the point across without showing graphic images. My 7 year old said it was "Exceptional and epic." For me, it was a good renewal of faith. Jesus was shown as a comforting friend, the way I was taught as a child. Strongly recommended for families to watch with their young children.

LIKES: Good Message Very Good Delivery Great voice Acting Authentic Emotion Liked The Presentation Cute/Funny Very Friendly Family Good Pace/Entertaining Meaningful Great Music DISLIKES: A Tad Preachy Character Usage is Uneven Lots of Material In One Movie The Animation Is A Tad Off Does Not Have The Full Movie Magic

Summary: The King of Kings is a movie about one of the most powerful stories in the history of the world. This movie translates it quite well into a piece that feels welcoming to a wide variety of audiences, with kids and adults alike getting ensnared in the powerful prose of Dickens' storytelling. It's a solid delivery and presentation of the material, a combination of what feels like a good Christmas tale that mixed Sunday School and a sermon into an engaging narrative to a boy more impressed with Medieval tales. Inspirational, powerful, and motivational, The King of Kings intertwines the majestic tale of Jesus with a very adorable approach to learning from a child's perspective. Jang and his team (alongside the studio they bought) have managed to keep the magnitude of the miracles and the cute comedy in check, and in allowing the interruptions and jokes, it shows a clever character progression that feels almost as magnificent as the story being told. The emotional moments hit very hard, in particular, the ones where the fantastic musical score mixes with the perfect animation moment to give goosebump-raising moments that feel so in tune with spirituality. As for the voice acting, it's pretty good, with many of the characters brought to life with powerful delivery, especially Isaac and Branagh, who have this command of their figure's emotions and qualities. The poetic dialogue of Dicken's spin of the story sets up Jesus's commanding, yet calm, lines as he teaches his subjects the words of God. Such engaging delivery keeps the deep emotion flowing, presenting that prowess of the moment and, again, not becoming so ensconced in it to be too intense for kids. Especially at the end, where the story comes together full circle, and you are left with this aura that makes you feel lighter. And all of this is at a pace that moves to keep your attention and not feel like attending a bible study for nearly two hours.

Yet, the movie does still cross into preachiness at times, losing the balance and becoming more of a Sunday quoting session. These moments are limited in distracting, but still sometimes trip up the building moments of the movie. Past that, the movie struggles at times with character usage, so many of the members in the Bible feel diluted despite how much each of them contributed to Jesus' life. There's a lot of material in one movie, and so many scenes seemed to be as simple as the sentences in the good book. While this is accurate to a degree, I think that the movie could have used the movie design magic, adding a little more of that musical interlude, a bit more vivid imagination in the miracles, and some slight build-up of moments to fully add that oomph. I know it probably undermines the point of the tale, but just a little more detail or design could have gone a long way. Finally, the animation, at times, feels a bit off. Not in terms of lag, but more so in that the emotion doesn't match the feelings of the words, or maybe it's the opposite point around. At times, the characters seem to have extra words that don't have the delivery to match what they were trying to convey. Something just felt off to me, and though most will not care, that slight difference in delivery is enough to lose a little bit on the score.

The VERDICT: The King of Kings will accomplish a lot for the target audiences of this movie and seems to be quite a force from my time at my theater. It was a wonderful work that blends entertainment and religion to a level that serves the time of the year, establishing hope, faith, and joy in what this story means. It's cute, but not to the level that makes being an adult stink, as it balances fun and seriousness in a nicely paced movie to entertain everyone. And the voice acting is just stellar on many levels, the two lead roles in particular unleashing their characters to amazing levels. Sure, the movie does get preachy at times, and the character usage and content are uneven, given how much happened during Jesus' first walk on Earth, and the animation/feel of the lines is off at some points. However, most of these moments are forgivable when you get those perfect moments of musical and visual splendor colliding to give you that amazing feeling this story brings. Is this the theater movie? Yeah, I have to say it is for a lot of audience members, with those who don't like this subject material or believe in it need to steer clear of this film. The movie's scores for me are: Animation/Family: 8.0 Movie Overall: 7.5.
