Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

I 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.

It's painful for me to write this but i'm really fed up with U2 shows by now! It's even more unfortunate because they are (still?) my favorite band and i remember that as a teen, I even cracked my savings to buy expensive bootlegs from them. But, actually, i found their show dull.I like to listen their albums, reading their interviews but watching their concerts, argh ! But I really tried with this one: The show begins with light on: cool: then, "elevation", "beautiful day", good dynamic songs! Then, lights go off and it's time for "until the end of the world" a song that i dislike even more that it's always played! I survived until "Kite" but with "New York", a boring song for me, i just threw the sponge (or the brick) and went writing with the DVD giving me ambiance sound.If the design was more befitted with music (simple, clear, direct), i just have enough of the same hits played over and over and over. When U2 was a great band, ALL songs from "Boy" to "Pop" are great, so they can play whatever they can pick.If i didn't watch the show, i watched the extras but they are cheap and crazy: they put a road movie without subtitles so for foreigners fan of U2, it's useless. As in the concert, Bono's interaction with people aren't subtitled so his speech is lost! With all money U2 gain, i expected them to pay fans more care! Hopefully, just 2 more shows and it's over for a long time!

Although I have must started in on U2's music and live concerts I found this to be tied with U2 Live in Chicago to be one of the greatest concert of all time! The crowd is so happy to see them play them play live that it makes the band even happier and makes for a wicked show. I love how Bono is jumping around all the time and unlike other rock stars he does not have any security guards to hold the crow back. I think the amount of work put into this show is mind blowing ( the ellipse is probably the most time consuming but really puts the cherry on top.)I didn't see it live I saw it on the DVD but trust me the camera crew did an excellent of capturing the concert on video. A must see for all rock fans.

As a fan of U2 for decades I was severely disappointed in this concert. The sound on the demo tapes on which I voted for the A side of U2's first single was 10 times superior to this. The sound was awful and the camerawork looked like it was taken by someone with a videocamera in the crowd. I so looked forward to watching this and was bitterly disappointed.

This concert was fantastic live, but this is the next best thing. Every shot is captured in stunning beauty, and it really does its best to capture the atmosphere of the live show. This is an absolute must for U2 fans, and a great reminder for those who attended any of the Elevation shows. The "making of" feature on the DVD is wonderful as well.
