Movie Reviews of Godspell
Movie Review: prepare ye the way of the lord ...
Summary: 5 Stars
wow!!! back in high school our choir sang the entire medley from this brilliant masterpiece. colorful, encased the in the trappings, good and other, of the 1970s, this piece INSPIRES the viewer / listener to find their spirit and become alive with the passion and love (for, from, by, and with) our higher power. if you can sit through this video without bouncing around, standing up and dancing with you kids (or grandkidz), then something is afoul! this is by far one of THE most magical energetic pieces of my lifetime. i give it an A+ and i highly recommend it. it you abhor anything christian or spiritual or 70's, you might not like it - even then, i'd recommend you check it out from your local public library.Movie Review: Engaging and delightful
Summary: 5 Stars
It is so wonderful to have this movie available, and on DVD! The small cast is full of personality and talent, and incredible nonstop energy. The score has more memorable tunes than any in recent memory, each flawlessly presented. The skits are a little variable, although the telling of the good Samaritan story still makes me giggle. David Haskell and Victor Garber are each perfect, visually and vocally, for their parts as John the Baptist and Jesus. But as a New Yorker, I have to say it: has any film ever used NYC so beautifully, from the Great Lawn in Central Park to an unfinished World Trade Center tower to almost every inch of Lincoln Center.Movie Review: Perfect Message..Must See for all fans of Live-Theatre
Summary: 5 Stars
Godspell..how can I sum up such emotion. Having been involved with the stage play of Godspell, I saw first hand how touching this musical is. It truely lay claim to ones heart. The catchy rhythems, the "current" (70s) back drop, only make this already fabulous story more colorful. The movie captures the spirit of the musical, but lacks only one thing. The raw emotion that seeing it live can bring. It is a must have for all, but rember this is an adaption, not meant to poke fun of or demean the original story. Just a supposed what if Jesus had come in 73..the reality of the story therein..wil capture your heart.Movie Review: Dated, but very enjoyable
Summary: 5 Stars
With a few notable exceptions, good musicals seem to be a thing of the past. Godspell, though obviously dated, offers an enjoyable musical look at the Gospel of Jesus Christ set in modern setting (well, 1970's modern anyway.) It is fun to watch, has a great message, and the musical numbers are well done and choreographed well. Having grown up in that era, many songs were very familiar.
My only complaint is that like so many other Hollywood-made tellings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, it falls short of really conveying the important Biblical message of Salvation by grace through faith.
Highly recommended!
Movie Review: A MUST- SEE
Summary: 5 Stars
From the beginning of this movie to the end, you won't want to stop looking at the TV. This was probably one of the best movies I saw this year.
The cast had great voices when they harmonized, and they couldn't have found a better Jesus.
I think that why so many of us think that the crusifixion scene in this movie is so sad is because we don't want to see such a good person go. In Jesus Christ Superstar, i hardly saw any smiles, but in this movie, it shows the friendly side of Jesus and his deciples.
If you have never seen this movie, i suggest that you rent it as soon as you can.
