 Jesus Christ, Superstar October 3, 2008
Jesus Christ Superstar (Special Edition)
I bought this with trepidation given its seeming potential for blasphemous treatment of a sacred topic. Nonetheless, though the story is slightly off-center, it was not offensive and some parts are even humorous in a non-blasphemous manner.

I went with the original movie with Ted Neeley because I find each remake loses something in the translation. It was a very powerful and emotional movie. Ted NeeleyWAS AN INTERESTING CHOICE TO PLAY Jesus he was very convincing AND REALISTIC. I felt the scene in the temple was a little over done, although poinient. THERE WERE OTHER SCENES THAT COULD HAVE BEEN DRAMATIZED A LITTLE MORE THEY SEEMED TO LOSE their significants because they were so short they were almost overlooked. The mix of "old" and "new" example the desert with the jetfighters flying over made an excellent demonstration of how prevelent the bible and the story of Jesus still is today.

What's the buzz? Tell me whats a happening. A 1970's totally classic and dramatic with catchy toons. A different way of looking at the story of Christ for anyone. It's a must for all musical lovers.

I have been a fan of this musical and movie for a very long time. I was very pleased to find it at a very good price. In spite of what some people say,Ted Neely did a fine job of portraying Jesus. Carl Anderson as Judas and Yvonne Elliman as Mary were wonderful in their supporting roles.Yvonne's vocal had the feeling of wonder and pain in her uncertainty. Overall a very good experience.

I don't agree with the Editorial Review's of Ted Neely's performance as "wimpy". I would say "humanistic" is the better choice.
The scene of Judas's betrayal is both poignant and wrenching as two men are torn between loss of friendship and their belief of what is right.
Yvonne Elliman's portrayal of Mary Magdalene is also very moving as she struggles with understanding and loving Jesus the man in a world of upheavel and contention that surround them.
