Audience Member I love this version. It is quite different from the 1973 film, but has its own style of interpretation. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review jan jingyang z Not the clean rocky voices of the original movie but a different and still great take on the story and the music. And I as a Christian myself don´t think the movie is blasphemia or insulting to Christians; it´s just different from "normal" Jesus movies. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member By far inferior to the 1973 version ... they slowed down the beat and lowered the octave to a ridiculous extent ... and the characters were far less likeable, especially that whiny butt playing Jesus! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Terrible misunderstood adaptation of the legendary rock opera. Judas in hell? Really? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member ehh.... The cast seemed half asleep during filming. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member It's absolutely fantastic!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
