Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
Excellent, a Must See
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
View MoreThe movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
View MoreMusic is the language of feelings, and for me, U2 embodies the best of humanity: Love, Peace, Compassion. Their songs, friendship, dedication are as much proof of this evidence. Who can't be moved by such integrity ? With this tour, they come back to simplicity: no big screen, no pop extravaganza It's a pity: they were the only ones to deliver this package and it was as much fun as it was truth.About the music, I am disappointed to hear always the same classic on their DVD, even if all the "unplugged" songs are great: "Wake up", "Desire", "Staring at the sun", "Angel of Harlem"...But as long as I have those goose bumps: Thanks U2 for giving me such primal feelings! In bonus, you got a making-of about the song "Pride" 23 years ago at Slane Castle... Even after 3 big records, the band stayed simple (look at their clothes) and their only drive was music not money!!!!
View MoreThe thing that makes the Slane Castle DVD exceptional is the sound quality. It's outstanding for a live show and the best I've heard on a concert DVD. For financial reasons I had to decide between the Slane Castle and the Live in Boston DVDs. I felt that the Slane DVD would be the better bet because I figured U2 would give their all doing a concert in their native country at a venue that had special meaning to them. Later on I was able to see the Live in Boston DVD and although I felt that it was very good in its own right and probably had better features, I felt overall the Slane DVD was better. The Slane DVD is superior because they just did a better job on the songs. There are a few songs on the Slane DVD that I actually like more than the original studio versions. They are: 'Out of Control'; 'Kite'; 'All I Want Is You'; and 'Bullet The Blue Sky'. Truly outstanding. I hate to use the word "beautiful" but the Edge's guitar-playing in 'With Or Without You' is exactly that. He's truly at his melodic best in that number. U2: Go Home is a great concert DVD and a must for anyone who digs U2.
View More"U2: Live in Slane" has to be one of the most amazing concerts ever broadcasted on Network Television. The crowd in this concert was great, and U2 got them jumping and dancing with some of their classics such as "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "Where The Streets Have No Name." They also performed some of their early songs, like "Out of Control." Watching this concert, was like i was reliving the ones i went to. I'm part Irish, so maybe that's why i act as crazy as they do in concerts. Overall, this concert was amazing!!!
View MoreIt was totally awesome overall. The music was good (the tight rhythm section of Larry and Adam, and the great guitar work of The Edge), but Bono's performance style stole the show. The only main problems were: Too many camera cuts, too many crowd shots, having multiple cameras with different frame rates, and also the band playing most of their greatest hits in different keys so they sound like crap. Surprisingly, The Edge was quoted backstage: "I hope we don't sound like crap."
