Summary: Love Pink Floyd or not.
Review: It would be hard to explore the mind of a famous rock star about to have a terrible mental brakedown and make it anymore brillent, vivid, and clear than this. Pink Floyd the Wall is strange a tour de force about going nuts.
I gess the film was to weird for some. That's very beliveable. Thanks largly to Bob Geldof's sensational performance. That won't leave your mind for awhile after watching this.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The Pink Floyd wall in ruins
Review: Why would somebody make a movie covering most of Pink Floyd's songs? Why can't we be allowed to visualize our own thoughts about a song? Yes, a 4 min music video is just fine, but to watch a 1,5 hour musicvideo is way too much for me.

No, buy a CD instead, the DVD technolegy is a wonderful thing, but this DVD is a waste of money. Buy an audio CD instead.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: we don't need no thought control...
Review: if there is one dvd that you must add to your collection, pink floyd the wall should be it. very few dvd videos out there offer so many extras to such a great film as this and not to mention you are already getting one of the greatest rock-n-roll operas of our time. or should i say one of the greatest films of our time period? in my life, i have never witnessed a film which successfully combine live drama, rock music, and state of the art animation such as the wall has done. bob geldof gives a truly amazing performance as pink who is slowly going crazy in his hotel room. guess what?? the viewer has the ultimate pleasure of taking this grand descent into madness right along with our lead character. through visions of war, godawful childhood memories, and a painful reminescence of a failed marriage we get a glimpse of everything which could DRIVE a person to complete insanity. pink floyd contains some of the most beautiful but insanely grotesque images ever placed on film and probability suggest few films can ever hope to rival the wall here. the wall is an emotional rollercoaster ride which everyone should take atleast once in their life if not many times. again, not a film that a serious dvd collector would want to be without so add this to your collection if you haven't already. i give this dvd my highest rating of five stars. please vote for me if this review was helpful to you and happy viewing.

Summary: Loved it
Review: I am a huge Pink Floyd fan. When you watch The Wall you have to see it in it's psycodelic perspective. Basically you need to trip shrooms when you watch it or you need to be REALLY high. all the hippe stoners out there really know what Pink Floyd songs are about and what the wall was really intended for. The wall wasn't for critics to review it was made for all us stoners and hippies out there to trip on while we watch it. In my personal opion it is one of the worlds greatest trip movies on the earth

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Overrated Rubbish
Review: An overhyped load of rubbish. A bad "visualisation" of the album and stage shows. Bob Geldoff is excellent as Pink. But this is the only good part about this film.

It certianly makes the story easier to understand than it's album and stage show predacessors. However it's shoddily done and all the acting with the exception of Geldoff is hammier than a pig sty.

Also several tracks are edited or just completely left out of the film. The keyboard solo from Run Like Hell is absent and Hey You isn't even used!.

I have a lot of respect for all three of the individuals responsible for this flick. But the love child of their often unfriendly affair is nothing more than an overhyped musical that tries to be as gruesome and cold as it possibly can.

Stick with the studio album or even better the BRILLIANT Is There Anybody Out There? live album.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: it's "just another brick in The Wall"...
Review: Those who think books like Jack Kerouac's "On the Road" and movies like "The Crow" actually have something to say about their respective 'generations' will probably like the film version of "The Wall," as well, and laud it just as highly. For me, though, the movie is a soulless, emotionally sterile, and bombastic 90-minute music video that's nowhere near as affecting as the album that inspired it. Okay, so a little boy's father dies in a war. He has fantasies about being a rock star and, wouldn't you know it, grows up to be a Hitler-esque dictator...or something. The subtle humor from the album is gone, instead replaced with super-literal interpretations of the songs. "The Wall" will remain popular, I think, only as an oddity in the annals of pretentious filmmaking.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must have for all pink floyd fans.
Review: I really enjoyed this film. I truly believe that anybody who loves pink floyd will love this movie and want to have it in their collection. However, if you are unfamiliar with the music and history of pink floyd, nothing can be guaranteed. I don't agree with the critic's review at the beginning of this page, and i don't think that person is a floyd for or knows much of anything about the band. It's a great film and it doesn't cost very much so it isn't a waste of money either way.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Is there anybody out there...?
Review: Pink Floyd's: the Wall is a visual and lyrical extravaganza. Color's, the lack of colors, drabbness, and isolation all reign free in the world of a rock singer named "Pink." The movie plays in crazy animation sequences, ear drum jarring music, and depressing premises to display feelings of insanity and loneliness. Pink surrounds himself with objects both mentally and physically due to harsh pains in his past that are told in glimpsing flashbacks.

The Wall is not for people who must have an immediate answer for everything they are seeing. It will probably take time, and piecing together after it's seen. If you don't like to dive deep into psychotic images of gritty moments, this may not be for you. But I thought it was great for a study!

I enjoyed seeing Bob Hoskins play his sweaty manager, paying people off in a panic. (I'm normally use to the "Smee" version of Bob Hoskins.) And you may catch some other star's as well. The Wall is a movie with several meaning's worth discovering and owning!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: If you love Pink Floyd you will like The Wall
Review: To begin, if you really love Pink Floyd and you haven't seen this movie yet, I am shocked and ashamed. For those of you who are not very big fans you will think, "what the heck am I watching?" First you need a good stereo system hooked up to your TV. There is very little dialogue through out the movie, for the most part just musical bliss. I must say that I am writing this after reading one persons review that said this was not art. Of course this is art. This is someones interpretation of how they feel about dealing with life. The movie goes sequentially with each great song on the album, The Wall. There are bits of cartoon clips that fit very well with the theme of the movie. You definitely need to see this at least one time.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Animation is the saving grace of this whole farce
Review: I normally dont write reviews.....but seeing the amount of reviews heaping praises on this absolutely languid film, i feel rather compelled to ensure that people are not mislead. Of course it is my personal opinion but i think it is required of me. My contentions are that the acting is tepid, the concert scenes look corny (run like hell), and the pace is unnecessarily slow. There is no art here..for example, the scene where the school kids rebels is done stark(yet unpowerful) with no subtlety and when there is symbolism it isnt very intelligent...(children going through meat grinders?).

i'm giving two stars for the animation which is visually stunning and conveys a very powerful message to the viewer....other than that...give this a miss....i wished i had a wall between myself and this movie!
