U2 - Rattle and Hum

Pros: The concert performances; Meeting with B.B. King and others

Cons: Not enough background on the band; Not a true documentary

The Bottom Line: Rattle and Hum is a must for U2 fans, with concert footage and performances of twenty- five songs.

Review: U2 is one of the more successful and longer- lived bands in pop/rock music. The grouped was formed in Ireland back in the late 1970 s and the four members have been together ever since, defying the odds of rock and roll band longevity and producing...

Pros: Next best thing to being at the concert...

Cons: Could use some more dynamic camerawork, more information

The Bottom Line: My favorite band, one night only. Every night.

Review: U2: Rattle and Hum is often called a documentary, but it's really not. It's more an advertisement for U2's album released just before the 1988 film, their highly acclaimed "Joshua Tree." One of my three favorite albums, most of the songs on the...

Pros: Passionate, fun, and great music

Cons: Some songs could have been cut

Review: (originally written Feb. 27, 2001; now updated and expanded)

U2 became the biggest rock band in the world in 1987. After years of critical success for their musical social commentary, Dublin?s fab four topped the Billboard charts...

Pros: This DVD makes you feel that you're right in the middle of the action.

Cons: This film was not critically acclaimed but I can't think of any cons.

The Bottom Line: I think that both anyone who would like to relive U2's early success or a new U2 fan would love to see/hear this film.

Review: I don't even know where to begin with this amazing "movie". I remember anticipating this movie coming out back in the 1980's when I was in 7th grade. The trailers were so exciting and there was nothing my friends and I wanted to do more than to see...

Pros: Great music

Cons: Too short

Review: Rattle & Hum takes the viewer on tour across the United States with rock supergroup U2. Watch the four lads from Dublin as they practice in an empty hangar / warehouse for their upcoming tour. Directed by Phil Janou, Rattle & hum is a delight for...

Pros: Shows Band's Personality, wonderful music, great "soundtrack"

Cons: Sometimes confusing if you are not a full fledged fan like me

Review: This movie is by far, worth every cent. Though it was critized when released, it has gained many supporters because of the shear entertainment fans get when watching the young stars act like real human beings. U2 is one of the most talented and...
