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

Where to even begin? This movie REEKS. Those who actually gave this movie a 10 must work for MGM/UA. I'm not going to give a plot summary, because many have already done that, but please for the love of God don't go see this film.

As many others have stated, the movie starts off OK. However, it doesn't take long for the tired old cliches (and worse) to surface. The ending is even more horrid, making the movie even more stupid (which up to that point I had thought impossible). The ending made me CRAVE an old tired cliche.

I was in a crowd of college students, and throughout the entire movie I could swear I heard people collectively rolling their eyes. After the first 30 minutes I was just waiting for the movie to be over. If I had had my own car available at the time, I would have walked out (something I have never done before at a theater).

Once again, I urge you, do NOT see this film.
