Jesus Christ Superstar
'Jesus Christ Superstar' recounts the last days of Jesus Christ (Ted Neeley) from the perspective of Judas Iscariot (Carl Anderson), his betrayer. Too often mis-labeled a musical, this film is a 'rock opera.' There are no spoken lines, everything is sung.

Overall: Some good songs, some interesting choreography, and some utterly forgotten actors.

Despite the 'impressive' desert locations and an array of tanks (to represent the ills of modern militarism), it's still staged like a student revue.

If it weren't for Lost Horizon, this would have gone down in history as the Worst Musical of 1973.

[A] rather tedious, if flamboyant affair.

Flawed, but still worthwhile film of the show.

The music quickly becomes monotonous, and the operatic dialogue is silly right from the start.

Jewison, a director of large talent, has taken a piece of commercial shlock and turned it into a Biblical movie with dignity.

Like a baptism by fire, Jesus Christ Superstar rarely leaves the viewer in lukewarm waters

Jesus Christ Superstar makes a better musical than a movie.

Yvonne Elliman is electrifying as Mary Magdalene, and Carl Anderson couldn't have been better as Judas; but Ted Neeley as Jesus is more whiny than heroic.

Ted Neeley is great but the film never rises to the material.
April 01, 2015
Dated, unconventional rock opera has some violence.
