Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 3690473, member: 833"] Superstar was on last night. I have seen it a few times. Almost 50 years later, this looks like what a bunch of Woodstock hippies would come up with if they were going to put on a musical about Jesus. The whole movie is a jumbled mess, with moments of brilliance but a lot of filler. Carl Anderson (Judas) and Yvonne Elliman carried the movie, because other than maybe Josh Mostel (Herod), the rest of the cast sucked. The actor that played Peter ended up doing porm later in his career, and he wasn't even the worst actor of the major characters. I did not like Ted Neeley at all as Jesus. I was surprised that Norman Jewison directed this. I would have guessed it was some random first time/last time director that I had never heard of. The sets make Life of Brian look big budget, and the constant zooming in and out was silly. [/QUOTE]
