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

Rating: 2/5 --
Dated, unconventional rock opera has some violence.

Rating: 1.5/5 --
Surely a candidate for the worst stage-to-screen musical adaptation ever.

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

Rating: 2/4 --
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.

Flawed, but still worthwhile film of the show.

[A] rather tedious, if flamboyant affair.

Product Description:
An innovative example of modern techniques in moviemaking, this famous rock opera depicts the last week of Christ's life. Norman Jewison (MOONSTRUCK; IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT) directed this thrilling adaptation of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical, starring Ted Neeley as Jesus and Carl Anderson as Judas Iscariot. Among the classic songs in the film are "I Don't Know How to Love Him," "Hosanna," and "King Herod's Song (Try It and See)." The song score was nominated for an Academy Award.
