I really like musicals, and I think the 1970s were a time of great filmaking. So waht could be better than a musical from the 70s? So I was really looking forward to Jesus Christ Superstar (1973).
Uhhh-how wrong was I? Wow, talk about a dated film. The music was for the most part annoying, the singers/actors were not that great, and the whole thing was a 70s hair fest. With only 2 songs worth a damn, "I Don't Know How to Love Him," and "Jesus Christ Superstar," I am so glad I have not paid to see this on stage.
While the story of Christ's passion can be told well, this does not do it. And this 1970s entertainment fails to walk on water...hell, it fails even float...it just sinks.
