Review of Jesus Christ Superstar (1973) by Juan M — 23 Jan 2010
Boy was this depressing....They took one of the most gorgeous rock operas ever composed and stuck it in with bottom of the barrel production values. This honestly looked like a college film student's project.
That coupled with the fact that the movie couldn't decide if it wanted to be a period film or a modern retelling really put me off. And don't even get me started on the average at best singing.
Altogether a disappointing film. Just get the Broadway soundtrack or the original concept album and you'll be much better off.
