  • In a few words, Tim rice and Andrew lloyd webber are great writers

    I REMEMBER THIS MOVIE WHEN IT WAS IN THEATERS BACK IN 73. MY MOM AND GRANDMA WENT TO GO SEE IT, BUT AT FIRST I DIDN'T WANT TO. BUT THEN I CHANGED MY MIND AND SAW IT. I ENJOYED IT. I USE TO SEE IT DURING THE HOLIDAYS LIKE EASTER ON TV,. BUT NOW YOU DON'T SEE IT. THOSE THAT ARE. OF SKEPTICS, IT IS A GREAT MOVIE TO WATCH WITH FRIENDS OR A CHURCH GROUP. GIVE THIS MOVIE A CHANCE.

  • A Modern Classic !!!

    This movie is a classic that I have not seen in too many years. Music & lyrics are amazing, as are the writers and musicians...and of course the cast. An old tale told in modern times. The visuals are striking...combining old world locations and modern armor. Solders with camo pants, purple tank tops and chrome helmets brandishing German and Israeli machine guns. Way ahead of it's time.

  • Hey, it's Jesus

    The movie has been around for decades. It is, without a doubt, a different take on the Gospels. Although the accuracy in portraying Jesus's last days leaves much to be desired, the music, theatrics and presentation is exciting and engaging. My teens have fallen in love with this 70's throwback. This particular DVD presentation has many extra features I had never seen before. Worth the watch.

  • SUPER Interesting

    The concept music and lyrics are brilliant. I remember the original cast recording from the early 70s which I loved and saw the movie when it came out then too. I was not impressed with the movie at the time but after seeing the live NBC broadcast and an amateur production recently I decided to give the movie a second look. The music and singing stick pretty much to the original recording which I liked. The location filming in the desert and outside was spectacular. The acting was good. I liked the combining of some period costuming with for the time hippie costuming. The Temple scene, Gethsemane scene, Trial Before Pilate, songs by Judas were very moving. Emotional relief came from the two very nice Mary Magdalene songs. My only problem with this as well as the two productions I saw was the dancing which serves no purpose particularly in the Herod song and JCS the title track itself. Those two songs would have been better just being sung. I was brought up in a strict Catholic household and over the years with a little bit of an open mind I have come to understand the story and lyrics better than originally. This movie will do that even better.

  • Excellent Way to Spend an Hour and a Half!

    I grew up listening to the music from this musical on the brown-cover double lp album. It's only fitting that I loved the movie and want to own the DVD to watch it whenever I feel like watching it. The music is classic, the characters all very familiar and the filming of this movie in the Holy Land is breath-taking. You can sing your way through or just sit and watch and absorb the beauty of it all. You won't regret spending an hour and a half with Jesus Christ Superstar.

    This is a fantastic classic! I purchased this one for my sister for Easter. She has always borrowed mine year after year around this time. I was so happy I found one for her and at a wonderful price! Really puts you in the Easter mood! And the music is awesome! I never get tired of it!
