Summary: Gazing at the Wall
Review: Naturally, this review is very biased because I am a Pink Floyd fan (and according to the Floyd Code for about 99.7% of my life!). However this is a pretty good visualization of _The Wall_. And of course it was a challenge to do because of the people involved and trying to create a movie based on music is somewhat difficult. The DVD is great as a design feature with snippets of various Pink Floyd songs and sounds. Oh yes, the commentary is wonderful with MST3K-like moments that keep it from being too bleak.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Unusable menus on computer DVD
Review: Don't think of buying this DVD if you plan on viewing it on a computer DVD drive: the DVD's menus just wouldn't comply with the mouse clicks, and keep changing to items the mouse is just passing over.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A strong and disturbing film
Review: This may sound strange, but this is a film best viewed alone while you are depressed.

Why?

Because you will walk away feeling better. Pink, now he's a really messed up fellow.

The music and animation in this movie are powerful and touching. This is all about society and its impact on humanity -- as it becomes larger, each human becomes smaller. This can have even greater effect on those who see themselves as sacrificial victims of society (in Pink's case because he lost his father, his socially-opressive schooling, and his pandering to the masses of fans).

The Wall, of course, is Pink's self-defense mechanism, a way of keeping other outside. It has since become a symbol of the Berlin Wall, which is pretty ironic.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Interesting Movie, but Boring...
Review: This is a very interesting movie, and i also recommend you to buy the album, but it's also a very boring movie. You don't understand what happenning there, and the sessions looks like the words - strange and hard-to-understand...

But after all, this is a classic movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An awesome experience of sight and sound
Review: I was blown away at how great an experience it was to view this on DVD with surround sound. I have seen the video version numerous times and having the DVD now makes this movie even better. The documentary and added scene of 'hey you' make this an amazing buy. The documentary was made for this release so it shows the makers in present day and past, and they offer their perspectives after making the film 20 years ago, and how it effects them today. Any Pink Floyd fan or fan of the movie must own this on DVD.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Alright
Review: Watching this interesting video and listening to Pink Floyd's always great music, I came to a conclusion: "The Wall" is the musical documentation of what it is to grow up white male in today's society.

I just realized that. No wonder white boys everywhere across the country have this album.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wall Kicks!
Review: Awesome visual and auditory experience(especially for Floyd fans).So many people have tried to analyze this?(Why?What does the wall mean?What is that?What are those?)My answer is DON'T ANALYZE THE DARN THING,JUST GRAB A BREW SIT BACK AND TURN UP THE SURROUND SOUND AND ENJOY!THE WALL KICKS!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hissing sound
Review: The video portion of this DVD is 5 stars. However the sound quality is very poor. I could hear hissing all the way through the movie. Very distracting.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Superb film, Superb DVD
Review: I am partially biased to this film because I am a huge Pink Floyd fan, but I will put that aside for this review. This is one of the greatest "Rock Opera" movies I have ever seen (if you even consider it a rock opera). It has brilliant cinematography. Great effort was put in to attention to detail. In this film, everything is where it is for a reason. The story is wonderful. I believe that it is something everybody can relate to. Building up an emotional wall to attempt to combat the horrible things that occur in all of our lives, and the trauma that comes with the building of this wall. There is so much more to it than that though. So many references, so much deep symbolism in every scene. Some anti-war, anti-establishment undertones. On top of all of this, the DVD is wonderfully put together. Every menu screen has been put together with a different pink floyd song and scene from the movie. There are many great features, including director commentarys and makings of, interviews, cut footage (the "Hey You" scene that was cut out of the film), original trailers, production stills. It is wonderful. This is a wonderful DVD to own in my opinion. I have had it for a while now, and I still have not finished going through everything that is on the DVD. You won't regret this purchase.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Wall
Review: Overall, this was an excellent film. The cinematography was good, and of course, the music was outstanding. However, it was not without its weaknesses. The animated sequences are the high points of the movie. They should have been emphasized over the drab live-action pieces. The entire "Run Like Hell" and "Waiting for the Worms" sequences would have been greatly improved had there been some sort of animation involved. They're the fantasy of a lunatic, and would have benefited from the surrealistic atmosphere of Scarfe's drawings. It was somewhat frustrating, because I found myself imagining what the movie COULD have been, compared to what it actually was. However, this shouldn't give the impression that I didn't enjoy the movie, I did immensely. This film is a must-see for Pink Floyd fans, as well as anyone looking for something a little different.
