That's all Bono needs, even more to feed his hyper-inflated ego. U2 overemotes all their songs with an obnoxious sense of grandeur, and everybody acts like it's somehow really amazing music. Self importance is not a substitute for That's all Bono needs, even more to feed his hyper-inflated ego.

Bono the megalomaniac needs an injection of humility.… Expand

I don't get why this has been raved about so much. Yes, the 3D is nice and makes the audience look all shiny, but other than that its just a normal concert movie of a fairly average band.

If you like U2 (why?) then go see this movie. Everyone else.... U2 sucks and seeing them in 3d makes them suck even more. The popularity of this band is a prime example of how idiotic our world is. There are tons of bands better than U2 If you like U2 (why?) then go see this movie. Everyone else.... U2 sucks and seeing them in 3d makes them suck even more. The popularity of this band is a prime example of how idiotic our world is. There are tons of bands better than U2 (Super Furry Animals) and it's a shame that this ultra crappy "rock" band has sooo many fans. I would hate to be in a room with nothing but U2 fans... I would have to kill myself.… Expand

The most exhilarating concert film ever, in my opinion. The added visual effects are an especially nice touch as well.

U2 yet again pushes the boundaries with the first feature-length live action film to be shot entirely in 3D. As the band says, live is where U2 lives, and this film certainly captures the intimacy and magic the band brings to each and every U2 yet again pushes the boundaries with the first feature-length live action film to be shot entirely in 3D. As the band says, live is where U2 lives, and this film certainly captures the intimacy and magic the band brings to each and every live show they do. The Latin American audience brings a fire and passion not matched by many other fans in the world. You truly feel as if you are at a U2 concert. As soon as it is over, you get the urge to go right back in and watch it again. Pure magic.… Expand

Brilliant! You Must experience the sound in a Modern Theatre! Bass is tremendous! Even w/ a lazy eye the 3D effects worked to a certain point! Well Done!

Awesome! This HAS to be seen to be believed. First of all, the audio is amazing, the band sounds great, the effects you hear when the camera pans over the crowd really makes you feel like your are right in the middle of it all.

Secondly, the video looks great, really looks like HD, and lastly the 3-D effects are amazing. There are times when Bono seems like he is literally standing right in front of you. I loved this movie, wanted to go right back to the ticket window and buy two tickets for the next show! Definitely a must see for any U2 fan, but It's my opinion that this could be enjoyed by any music fan!… Expand

I've seen this 3 times; it's the only time I've ever gone to see a film more than once. Amazing experience, and simply perfect. It left me speechless.

Definitely a sight to behold. I really had no idea what it would be like but as soon as it started I was totally blown away.

I really had no idea what it would be like but as soon as it started I was totally blown away. This nearly reaches the level of art and the fans definitely elevate the entire experience. Just one small complaint: I think it could have been a little longer, for sure. They played "I Still Haven't Found..." that night and I wish that wasn't omitted, and the same goes for "Elevation" and "City of Blinding Lights". However, the final song very nearly makes up for this. But I won't spoil that for you.… Expand

Prior to watching this movie, I had never even heard a U2 song. As the movie opened, I was sitting there in my seat, extremely comfortable, talking with friends because I was bored, etc. As the film opened, the intro sequence set the tone perfectly for the rest of the movie. As the band started playing, I was drawn in by the music, captivated by the 3D IMAX experience, and wanted to get up and join the onscreen crowd. The imagery is powerful. Even though you could say Bono was preachy, he seemed okay to me. The entire film makes me feel a strange feeling, the kind of feeling you get when your jaw is hanging open after watching a classic. Overall, see this movie before it makes it's theatrical leaves. You won't be disappointed… Expand
