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.

[A] rather tedious, if flamboyant affair.

Ted Neeley is great but the film never rises to the material.

Jesus Christ Superstar makes a better musical than a movie.

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

Dated, unconventional rock opera has some violence.

Flawed, but still worthwhile film of the show.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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