    This was my one main gripe too...poor, poor decision
  2. Enjoyed it. Agree with everyone else about the narrating over the songs. Bono's voice did sound very strong throughout. Enjoyed this film more than the Songs of Surrender album by U2.
  3. With hindsight, Songs of Surrender the book should have existed with a soundtrack. A 40 song album of lazy remakes should never have got off the drawing board unless it was done super quick and released during covid.

    Did you mean to say "With hindsight, Songs of Surrender the book should have existed without a soundtrack." ? As I'd agree with that

    SOS the album has a few nuggets on it but overall it just sounds like bad musak

    I blame Edge
  5. SOS the book/film should have come with a soundtrack similar to the EP we’ve just had. To make a 40 song double album was just totally unnecessary and not worth the time.

    Gotcha

    Agree about the unnecessary 40 songs - they could have put that time and effort into something new and exciting

    I blame Edge (again)
  7. Originally posted by SJKamal:I enjoyed this. I can see why it got some low scoring reviews because it's definitely a film for U2 diehards. I know I gave the black and white choice critisicm but it worked well. I also liked how they merged and edited all the different shots together. I thought the Opera house moment at the end would have more focus than what it got.

    Has anyone seen any reviews for the Apple Vision Pro version?


    I agree with SJK that the shots from Naples were anti-climactic. The breathing silence was interesting going back to the surgery. I was expecting more from Naples and can anybody inform of the purpose of the roof shot?
  8. Originally posted by DMMacdonald:Just finished watching this. Superb. Really really enjoyed it. If anything, I thought the black and white made it better. Brilliant performer, great story teller and just like the book, I felt he came across as a very ordinary guy.


    You felt that because he has mentioned many times that he dropped the artifice for this one.

    That must be his 'fourth wall' discussions?
  10. Failed attempt of so. It’s just him narrating over his singing. Like nails on a chalkboard.
