Not a great documentary. It is mostly live performance mixed with a few interviews or behind the scenes looks. If you like U2 a lot you should enjoy this.

Not much of a documentary. Probably close to 90% musical numbers and the other segments were not very interesting.

Extraordinarily unsatisfying rockumentary which shows, among other things, exactly what you may have suspected after hearing _The Joshua Tree_ and other albums of theirs -- that these guys have no sense of humor whatsoever. This movie had exactly the opposite effect intended -- I stopped being a U2 fan immediately after seeing it (and I saw it on the big screen, too)
