Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

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.

After spending the 90's producing some of the most bizarre albums ever, U2 are back to what they do best. This DVD will convert you into a fan: I dare anybody not to have the hairs on their necks standing endwise when Edge plays the spine tingling chords of Where The Streets Have No Name and when Bono runs up the stage, like a man possessed.My only complaint is that the crowd look dead at times (Elevation, Desire, Until The End Of The World). I say to them: wake up. The greatest rock and roll band alive are in front of you.

The first time I saw this I couldn't believe it. This film is absolutely stunning. Anybody, without a doubt, can feel the energy like you were right in the room. You want to get up and jump around with everybody in the screen when U2 plays "Elevation" and you are brought to tears during songs like "Stay" and "Kite". The heart-shaped stage really did help the performers and audience connect, everybody's closer together, not only physically, but emotionally, too, I think. It was a bit if-y as to whether or not U2 was still the best band in the world, but this film proved it. Perfect 10.

First of all let me say that U2 is my favorite band and will probably always be my favorite band (although I dislike Zooropa and Pop, personally).I saw them twice on their Elevation Tour, and both times were some of the greatest experiences of my life. The DVD of their show in Boston helps me remember a lot of the enjoyment I got from the concert, but it also has a shortcoming that I cannot forgive..Both of the times I saw U2 in concert, they played One and New Year's Day. In the Boston show, however, they neglected to play either of them. In my opinion, if they wanted to drop two songs they could have made a better choice. Sure it's all opinion, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed to see those two songs absent from the DVD.Anyway.. the DVD could not possibly recreate the live experience, but it does an admirable job of trying. Any U2 fan should be pleased.8/10
