  A surreal portrait of Jesus with a mix of 70's and music of Andrew Lloyd Webber. Jesus Christ Superstar it's also a tense, unique and sometimes boring, but the soundtrack and the oddity made this controversial cult classic charming musical a likable movie.

  This is not the best movie musical ever made, not even close. But is it highly enjoyable? Short answer: Yes. Long answer: This is one of the most surreal films made. Not only is it based on the musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, but the film gives us thousand anachronisms to stammer at,… More
  This is not the best movie musical ever made, not even close. But is it highly enjoyable? Short answer: Yes. Long answer: This is one of the most surreal films made. Not only is it based on the musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, but the film gives us thousand anachronisms to stammer at, giving it a very off-beat feel that you can't take your eyes off of. At the end of the day, you have to watch it at least once. *NOTE: The song "Superstar" is AWESOME. Just saying.

  One of the best musicals of the 70s, best uplifting Jesus related films, and just super cool. I love this movie.

  really good film

• Lady D

  
  Andrew Lloyd Webber?s musical is very dated and after just 15 minutes I turned it off (not something I do very often). I believe the musical has probably since been updated and is a much better show, but this version really did nothing for me.

  Powerful songs and dancing. I loved it! There are so many good tunes in this thing; belted out by some of the best singers in the desert. It's a great drama of sacrifice, belief, betrayal, love and forgiveness; emotions are flowing in every scene. I liked the hippy bus opening to… More

  Too "hippie" for my taste. Which is unfortunate, as I really wanted to like this film.

  Well I can't say I expected a serious drama from something called Jesus Christ Superstar, but a musical on Jesus story is really something I would have never imagine on seeing. With such an odd combination of music and Jesus it's strangely a blast to watch. The movie first problem is that there is no dialogue; it's just constant singing throughout the whole movie. With nonstop singing this means you have to be told everything in musical numbers. Which means no acting, rare moments of silence, and you having some knowledge about the story since it's really easy to miss the plot in song form. Despite some obvious problems with a movie only consisting of musical numbers, it's fun to watch. Think about it, how often are musical revolving around Jesus are made? Not that many and this has it fair shares of good moments, like seeing Jesus briefly holding a gun and destroying things is something you won't see anywhere else. In case you're wondering about the accuracy it's really off. We have tanks, airplanes, pants, machine guns, a van and many other modern items in this Jesus musical. To be fair on the movie it's a more enjoyable take of the familiar story and actually tells it in an original way. Often time movies about Jesus are way too serious and too familiar to enjoy as we have literally seen the story told in nearly every serious way possible. The song themselves are truly strange with some of the most bizarre lyrics. How can you take Jesus followers seriously when they sing songs with lyrics "What the buzz? Tell me what is happening?", you simply can't. Though not all the songs are good, once you've finished hearing a exciting song it'll go to a slow song which makes the movie loose momentum. The editing is not always good as songs sometimes end abruptly. You still got to this, it's insane to see Jesus sing a rock song, strange fading dancing, and the songs unlike anything you'll see in any other adaptation with Bible verses. There are literally no words to explain how odd the existence of this musical is and it's even stranger to see it yourself. Jesus Christ Superstar is an oddity in the musical genre with a fresh approach to a familiar religious story and bizarrely fun songs to listen to. It's strange piece of cinema that should witness, there's literally nothing else like it.

  One of the few musicals besides Grease that I enjoy.

  Kind of interesting and catchy.

  A wicked Rock-Opera, with a solid 70s B-Movie feel.

• John M

  
  ¨Jesus Christ Superstar¨ is a fun time and a really good movie/musical to watch if you enjoy rock music. The movie features excellent cinematography and some very memorable songs. The acting was ok, nothing special
