CRITICS OF "Jesus Christ Superstar"

Film4

[A] rather tedious, if flamboyant affair.

May 24, 2003

Resource

Time Out

Despite the 'impressive' desert locations and an array of tanks (to represent the ills of modern militarism), it's still staged like a student revue.

February 09, 2006

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

Flawed, but still worthwhile film of the show.

September 04, 2003

Empire Magazine

If it weren't for Lost Horizon, this would have gone down in history as the Worst Musical of 1973.

March 19, 2008

Filmcritic.com

Overall: Some good songs, some interesting choreography, and some utterly forgotten actors.

Old School Reviews

Like a baptism by fire, Jesus Christ Superstar rarely leaves the viewer in lukewarm waters

Cinema Sight

Jesus Christ Superstar makes a better musical than a movie.

January 01, 2000

Your Movies (cleveland.com)

Ted Neeley is great but the film never rises to the material.

February 07, 2003

TV Guide

Yvonne Elliman is electrifying as Mary Magdalene, and Carl Anderson couldn't have been better as Judas; but Ted Neeley as Jesus is more whiny than heroic.

March 19, 2008

Resource

Chicago Reader

The music quickly becomes monotonous, and the operatic dialogue is silly right from the start.

March 19, 2008

Resource

Chicago Sun-Times

Jewison, a director of large talent, has taken a piece of commercial shlock and turned it into a Biblical movie with dignity.

Common Sense Media

Dated, unconventional rock opera has some violence.
