The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
View MoreIt’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
View MoreJust about every commentator has mentioned the way that some of the interview footage is superposed over the concert footage in places. This is true, and is the biggest flaw of this film. However, it isn't so often, or so bad, that one shouldn't see this video. If you are a Black Sabbath fan, you have to see this. Aside from having seen Black Sabbath in the Sevnties and early Eighties, I saw them in 2005 or 2006 when they also headlined OZZfest just like in this video. The concert was amazing, and very much like this, which was why I rented this in the first place. It's just about the best geezer-rock out there. Check it out.
View MoreThis had the potential to be a nice document of the reunited Ozzy-era Black Sabbath, with solid concert footage, and some insightful interviews. However, the mixing of the two ruins both. The producers chose to splice the live music with the interviews, which completely ruins the cohesiveness of the concert. It seems like every guitar solo is overwritten with an interview second. Quite a shame that some overzealous wanna-be filmmaker would ruin this. It's also a shame that there isn't an option on the DVD that would let the user turn off the interview portion, so that the concert would play straight thru. C'mon, isn't stuff like that s'posed to be one of the DVDs main selling points?
View MoreThe Last Supper DVD is a great concert of the great Black Sabbath songs. However, most of the songs can't be enjoyed because they are stepped on, the narration by the band interrupts the songs. Sometimes in the middle, sometimes towards the end. What a disappointment this is, DVD quality music that can't be enjoyed. The producer of this DVD could have put the band's comments (which are great and very informative) at the end of each song, but they didn't. I think whomever produced this DVD should be greatly criticized for screwing up such a great concert. Sure you can buy the CD of this concert, but the sound quality is nowhere near as good as this DVD.Does the music industry still wonder why people download music? How about putting information on back of the cover indicating that the DVD is also a narration that interrupts the songs.
View MoreBlack Sabbath were pioneers on the hard rock/metal scene if only for their hard edged riffs and solos drenched in the darkness of thought. Iommi, Ward, Butler and Ozzy himself return to the concert stage and this footage takes place over the stretch of concerts they had on the Ozzfest tour. Intercut are interviews and just footage of the four talking like the camera isn't even there which also brings interest. Could've gone wrong if the music wasn't fresh anymore and tiffs still went on in the band, but this now isn't the case, even Bill Ward has it in himself to play, all this through long hard drugships (inparticular Ozzy who gives an ironical joke in a way- I should be dead!). For Sabbath and Ozzy fans the treat of the season, and for other general rock fans a glimpse into a brilliant old British group whose roots date back to the late 60's. A
