Jewison (Other People's Money) adds some good exterior settings in the desert, but Lloyd Webber and Rice's dialogue-free story (everything is sung, as in a real opera), with its quasi-profundities about the inner demons of principal figures in the life of Christ, is the real hook. Yvonne Elliman sings the show's best-known song, 'I Don't Know How to Love Him.' --Tom Keogh Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - It would be a good thing to update and upgrade the myth This film has become a myth in some way and it was fun to see it, especially so close to Christmas. But it has aged tremendously. To center the film on the Jesus who started, without even knowing it, a revolution that leads him to die is passé, and false because the Roman legions were by far strong enough to start that revolution. To center the film on Judas the traitor who delivers Jesus and then hang himself is also very untrendy and absurd now we have the Gospel of this poor systematically scapegoatish ...

It has been a part of our family from the beginning. Rating: - Unique, Wonderful Musical JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR has wonderful music and the movie made from it is pretty close to perfect. Shot creatively on location in the Middle East and filled with expertly rendered visual symbolism this musical has a unique take on the last days of probably the most influential person to ever live. No matter what one's spiritual beliefs JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR can give the open minded viewer new insights into a life that changed the world. Rating: - Rock Opera Provides Believable Portrayal of Judas and Christ Jesus Christ Superstar is perhaps the boldest of all musicals made during the last seventy years, even though the story it tells is one that has been told, retold, and read for centuries. The way this show presents its subject material, and context has gotten it banned in a heavily Christian nation in Africa, and scolded by many Christian churches, but this musical has proven appealing to both people of faith, and those without. This musical was ahead of its time, starting an era of adaptation for Christianity, ... Read More Rating: - It's sensational! I always loved this movie. The first time I saw it I was around 16 years-old, living in Brazil and took my mother to see it. I was impressed with the way the story was told. I loved Ted Neeley and Carl Anderson immediately. Then I came to New York and bought the LP of the film and listened all the time. Then moved to U.S.A. and here, in Denver, they announced the play and I went - and I finally saw Ted Neeley and Carl Anderson on the stage - I'll never forget! I bought the VHS and I was in heaven. Then I bought the ...
