Nope. I love it! The music, the cast, the setting, whats not to love. Plus, I really feel it does a good job at portraying both Jesus and Judas as real people. I love how Judas isn't just played as a bad guy and that he actually is the voice of reason. I'm not a fan of the stage productions, but thats only because I have yet to find one that matches the tone and the mood of the film.
Theres sex and death and human grime in monochrome for one thin dime and at least the trains all run on time but they dont go anywhere.
Platypus!
1973 version, yes. Don't get me started on that 2000 version, though.

Heaven on their Minds and Gethsemane are among the best songs (the latter is probably among the most perfect union between music and imagery I've seen), but a special mention does have to go to Simon Zealotes. Such an intense and jovial song.
I liked how they humanized the characters a lot more then most stories about Jesus. Pilate being a good guy was a big shocker.

Truly, this movie is made of all kinds of win. I love the sets!
I love it, but I will be eternally puzzled by what they were going for with Simon Zealotes. He doesn't seem so much militant as high off his mind. The 2000 version makes more sense, even if the rest of the production is inferior, and even if we don't get Carl Anderson's awesome "what the fuck is going on here" face.
This beats Ted Neely's Gethsemane, however:

Definitely a fan, even of the 2000 version although of course the original is superior.

Did... you.. just.. quesiton Carl Anderson...?

If you don't like a single Frank Ocean song, you have no soul.
I enjoy both the 1973 and 2000 versions. I was able to see Ted Neeley in a live production, which was AWESOME. In his late sixties, and he's still got it.

Love the '73 movie. Love love LOVE.
But if I may put on my hatin' pants for a moment, their version of "Try it and See" is just not up to par.
Did... you.. just.. quesiton Carl Anderson...?
No, I didn't. I was applauding his reaction to Simon. Was that unclear?

I can't be the only person who loves this movie
