Shine a Light

Scorcese does a great job but a concert movie needs a good concert and that isn't here: The Stones run through soft-rock versions of their hits (it's amazing how their sound was much more powerful when there were four instead of 400 people on stage) attempting to appear relevant by dragging Christina Aguilera on stage and seeding the first few rows of the audience with young female models. "Far Away Eyes", "Champagne & Reefer", good visuals and fun archive footage earn the film a passing grade.

Noisy not powerful. Keef spends a lot of time flicking stuff into the crowd while looking like a witch and forgets to play for long stretches. Even when he does it's kinda sad. Mick follows the Jagger Rule: the more you flail around, the harder you're rocking.

The Stones still have it. Nice tunes, well-photographed and -edited footage. Ironically much better than _Gimme Shelter_

Pretty solid concert doc from Scorsese, but nothing mind-blowing. Highlights include "Sympathy for the Devil" and the incredible Buddy Guy performing "Champagne and Reefer."

Excelente show/tributo ao legado da maior banda de rock ainda em atividade. Convidados como Buddy Guy e Jack White contribuem ainda mais para esse show formidável dos Stones.

Great if you like the Stones I guess, otherwise really really dull. The final shot is the only remarkable thing in the film.

Great rock-documentary with Mick Jagger, on stage he looks like a young man, unbelievable for an "old" guy of 65. Great songs but some songs I didn't like too much. Despite of this for what Clinton must make a speech in the beginning, typical American.

Mick! Keith! Scorsese! IMAX! Pretty damn good but why the hell is Christina there?

Synes de var bedre live-live!

Totally amazing. I wasn't a huge Stones fan before, but I am now. They seem like great friends, and good people, and they have some wicked tunes. Also, Jack White is a lot less creepy than I've been giving him credit for.

Your enjoyment depends on how much you like late era Rolling Stones. Me? Yeah, I enjoy them. The biggest drama of this doc is whether Scorsese was going to get the setlist. Also, I am glad five minutes was spent shaking hands with Bill Clinton.

Good combo.

It's ok as a concert record but it's weak as a documentary.

Opinions of this will undoubtedly differ, but the variable quality (to put it politely) of the music and performance here leaves the impression of an unpiloted infernal machine, the members of which have long since lost any genuine musical ear or any sense of what it is they are actually doing, at times to the point of seeming self-parodic. Probably nobody is to blame for this: it is just testament to the blinding, controlling and distorting power of vast and seemingly endless sums of money.

Very good concert film from Scorsese. Wish he had done this when they were in their prime.

scorsese stones imax perfect threesome.

A great exercise film. The camera work is impeccable, the tone is inspirational, and the energy is contagious. Get on that treadmill! Stride out with Mick!!! Boomers still have it!!!

My favorite director plus my favorite band? Sold.

Thought this was going to be a documentary and not just a concert recording. Despite Scorsese's involvement this is typical concert fare with only a few archive soundbites of the Stones thrown in. I admire the Stones for still going but this concert shows them way past their best. When a guest appearance by Christina Aguilera, of all people, rocks harder than the main performers it's definitely time to call it a day.

Shine a light estreava mundialmente há 15 anos. Pelos talentos envolvidos (Marty, Stones e o rol de cameramen?) era de se esperar algo tão memorável quanto Stop Making Sense, mas é tudo muito pálido e domesticado. DVD Imagem Filmes.

"Even an average performance by the Rolling Stones isn't boring." - Jeremiah Kipp

Stand back in awe of the miracle that these skeletons can still stand up let alone get on stage and still rock the show.Beside that amazing fact this is a great doc about an amazing band.

I would have like to have seen more of the older footage of the band. The stones passed their prime along time ago making this an average concert video.

Great camera work captures the energy of the band. I loved the irony of early interviews cut with footage of the band looking so old but still rocking.

Good

Saw this on IMAX and loved it! The Stones proved that they can still rock on as elders!

mlaah, buddy guy is good.

I can't get no.

Rich kids at a very mediocre Stones concert.
