If you're going to cast someone as a child-killing tyrant, you might as well get someone who voiced one of animation's most notorious villains:

...and?

A cropped picture of an animated kid from a 2025 movie poster doesn’t tell me anything about the “cartooned fakery” you experienced at “age five”.

Saw it least weekend with my six year old daughter who was in rapt attention from start to finish.

How do you dominate the marketplace by being second? Odd article.

Minecraft is dominating the marketplace. It may be better to just simply state, it’s doing better than expected, but it is a very distant second.

RE: Mark Hamill? Why was that creep cast?

Heck, there were criticisms of his casting on ALL sides — both left and right. The left didn’t want him using his talents on a “conservative” film and the right of course didn’t like a left-wing actor in the film.

The reason he was cast is ... well, he is a very talented voice actor and he only reads the script, nothing more.

Despite all these, Mark Hamill, who voiced King Herod in The King of Kings, responded positively to the film’s reception and addressed criticism by emphasizing its universal appeal. He described the movie as a “revelation” for young audiences, even those not drawn to religious stories. Hamill highlighted the film’s themes of faith, selflessness, and doing what’s right for the greater good, suggesting that these values resonate beyond religious contexts.

Someone has to dub the voice of Herod...

I went last weekend with friends. Very near to us was a mom and daughter, maybe 8 or so. She seemed to enjoy it. We all did.

Sorry, but the fact that the deranged little Nazi insurrectionist was cast in a “Christian” film is extremely offensive. I HATE that worthless traitor.

It’s no big deal; I haven’t darkened the door of a movie theater since my High School Senior year of 1989. I have missed absolutely nothing. If Hollyweird ceased to exist, Americans would take to the streets to celebrate.

Music is important and life-changing. Hollyweird is completely irrelevant.

No offense intended. I just HATE that filthy soy boy.
