Lord of the Dance

Summary: Too much camera movement spoiled the show
Review: I am a fan of Michael Flatley and I have seen the Riverdance video but this one is badly made. The show itself is good but the video quality is misty and camera angle changes every 10 sec. I would recommend people to buy Feet of Flames video instead. It is practically the same show only newer and better. It has everything that LotD offer but with more dancers and the dancers dance more maturely too. Trust me, save your money to buy FoF instead.

Summary: Two issues?
Review: I've seen two different DVDs of is Lord of the Dance with, apparently, the same cover. The Universal Studios version of it is disaster. You are looking at it through a mist, with poor video and sound quality. Looks like a copy of a tape on a DVD disk. SHAME! The other version that I rented once was incredible and outstanding, with excellent video and sound. Plus, LOTS more energy from the performers. Boycott this Unversal version until they re-released the other!!!!!If you've already bought it, write Universal. Let's have the real version again.

Summary: There MUST be 2 releases
Review: I saw Lord of the Dance on PBS a few years ago and was astounded. I had hoped I was buying a recording of that spectacular event, but unfortunately the tape I received was something substancially different. It is quite simply incomprehesible that anyone would deem what I received an acceptable video presentation of anything, let alone Michael Flatley's venerable dance masterwork.

Far beyond a matter of "taste", the video quality was substandard in every way; it's quality is more likened to that of a 15th generation bootleg.

I've recovered from viewing the tape, and I can only conclude that there are 2 distinctly different releases of this title being sold in the same packaging. This is the only explaination I can fathom for the massive gap in opinion found in the Amazon reviews. Unless, of course, all of the positive reviewers were somehow involved in the production of this item...

I would suggest that you RENT a copy =before= you purchase.

Summary: Joyous and exuberant!
Review: This is a "must have" DVD. Michael Flatley's mathmatically precise, symmetrical choreography seems to move at the speed of lighting. The viewer is swept away by the beauty and pulsating rhythm of the dances and dancers. Flatley himself is a graceful, charismatic, catlike performer. His difficult movements seem to come effortlessly. The music, sets, costumes, and lighting are also magnificent. You must see "Lord of the Dance"!

Summary: Genialidad y excelencia
Review: Acabo de ver en Santiago de Chile el espectaculo en vivo y sin duda es mucho mejor que verlo solo en video, por lo que lo mas cercano a la perfección que se observa en el espectaculo en vivo lo veran en el video. Motivación y excelencia resulta de observar el video que recomiendo absolutamente.

Summary: Equally as wonderful as Riverdance!
Review: I can't believe it, but Lord of the Dance is just as wonderful as Riverdance. Michael Flatley is said to be a perfectionist, and it's a good thing he is. Lord of the Dance and any other show he choreographs is just wonderful. All the characters are so real, especially the young lady who played the flautist. She stole my heart away. And the blond lead female dancer was almost as graceful as Jean Butler in Riverdance.

I would recommend Lord of the Dance to anyone who wants to be thrilled for an hour or so.

Summary: Mucho zapateo y música monotona
Review: Probablemente desde el punto de vista musical y técnico, esta es una obra de cinco estrellas, pues la ejecución de los bailarines es perfecta. Sin embargo, a mi me aburrió, pues encontré mucho zapateo, la musica no relacionada entre si y monotona. Algunos temas son buenos, pero dentro de los 90 minutos, son pocos momentos buenos. La escenografía es pobre.

Summary: Worst Production I've Ever Bought
Review: The editing on this DVD is so bad that it's impossible to watch the whole thing without getting a headache. Constant camera switches about every two seconds. What a terrible way to ruin a perfectly good show. I'm happy to see that it's no longer in production.
