Plot: Ted Neeley makes for a wimpy looking Jesus in Norman Jewison's screen adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice "rock opera," which was a smash on stage in the early '70s. Jewison (Other Peopl...( read more read more... )) 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

    So fucking brilliant, I can't even put it into words. Yeah, it's also pretty weird...but very rarely in a distracting way. "Heaven On Their Minds" is a definite highlight.

    An outstanding film, and my favorite musical (actually, the only musical I like). NO, it's not sacriligious, you've just been misinformed.

    I am a big phan of Andrew Lloyd Webber but I couldn't get in to this movie. Most of the songs are very catchy though.

    I remember seeing this when I was 9 yrs. old, and many times after that, too. I have the LP set of the original UK cast and have always found this film to be incredibly well done. The direction of Jewison is outstanding and the musical elements of the show were integrated very well into the film. I believe wholeheartedly that considering the lack of special effect technology that was available 35 years ago this film has a timeless quality because of it's simple telling of a gripping story that is thousands of years old. Faith and religion aren't so much the focus as it is the human elements of betrayal, vulnerability, etc., that are so vividly displayed and to which many can relate.

    I love this musical. It is very moving even if you are not Christian (like me). It is a wonderful movie with awesome acting and one of the best scores by ALW (Andrew Lloyde Webber) I love it
