Product Description:
Jesus judas and mary magdalene cross paths in this version of the rock opera. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 08/31/2004 Starring: Ted Neeley Yvonne Elliman Run time: 107 minutes Rating: G Director: Norman Jewison
Amazon.com:
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 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

- 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 pass茅, 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 … Read More

- One of the Best Musicals
This is most moving version of this classic story I’ve ever seen. The talent in this musical is extraordinary. 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 … Read More
