Jesus Christ Superstar Movie Review
I began watching this film with an open mind. I generally don't enjoy musicals turned movies, and this one is no exception. Honestly its ignorant and inaccurate. Watching Jesus sing is entertaining, but with some of the fluff they filled it with just makes me hate it. They only thing I enjoyed about this film is the music. So thank you Andrew Lloyd Webber for another great musical score. Looking through this list of actors the one word that kept coming to mind was who is that. I'm honestly not going to mention any of them because they were all bad. The voices were good but all of them could have be replaced. I could sing the book of Mark aloud and get the same result. Be warned you will learn things in this movie. For one did you know they have tanks when Jesus was alive? Or that Israel had postcards you could send through the mail to your friends? I think the title you we changed to Woodstock everyone is dressed like they belong at an old Aerosmith concert. All of this modern technology and clothing is just outrageous. Apparently Jesus was so threatening that the Roman guards had to develop guns in order to keep him in line. In addition the devil portrayed as a guy who actually won in Vegas. He looks like a cross between Newman from Seinfeld and Elton John. At least the majority of the bible portrayed here is accurate. Id really like to burn every copy of this movie in existence. In conclusion the music is kinda catchy, but the everything else is just stupid. One thing that could make it better would be if Indiana Jones was looking for the Arc and Covenant while everything else is going. Maybe even fight some of these Roman Guards they have guns and he has a whip sounds like every Indiana Jones film. Or you could have Cheech and Chong make an appearance I'm sure they wouldn't mind reliving Woodstock. I give this movie a 4 out of 10. Everything that makes this a movie is awful but I have to admit the music was good. If you considering checking this out. Save yourself the visual scaring and listen to the soundtrack and pretend. Jesus Christ Superstar not a classic what so ever.
