Rating: Summary: Superstar?, More like Bench Warmer Review: Ted Neeley should be crucified, literally, for being the worst Jesus in any film. Was Jimmy Stewart unavailable to play a worse version of Jesus? I think Ted Neeley is also the first person to play Jesus with a lazy eye. This is just the beginning of my problems with this movie.
I could have sworn Yoko Ono was playing Mary Magdaline. The actress had the same vocal abilities as Yoko. In my opinion, Elton John did the best job playing King Herod. Rick James would have made a great Judas.
I realize my review is just addressing the acting, what about the plot you ask? There was not one. The keep singing bad songs until they are mercifully stopped when Jesus is crucufied. The best part was making the Last Supper into a picnic. Who brought the Spam?
As a Christian, I have never hated a Bible story. But what they have done to the story of Jesus life certainly has turned the greatest story into a sham. I would rather go blind than watch this again.
