Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
elpaz79903 The Band: Iron Maiden The Place: Dublin, IrelandThis Concert Was Filmed As Part Of the DANCE OF DEATH Tour Brought To Us By The Heavy Metal Gods IRON MAIDEN. This Concert Serves Up Many Of Iron Maiden's Hits Like Number Of The Beast, Run To The Hills, Fear Of The Dark, Hallowed Be Thy Name, and Iron Maiden. The Background Changes Matched In Contrast To Each Song Performed, or The Giant Eddie (Iron Maiden's Skull Character) That Makes A Few Appearances, This Concert Is Sure To Make A Fan Out Of You. These Classic Heavy Metal Icons Know How To Put On A GREAT Show, and This DVD Proves How GREAT An Iron Maiden Concert Is.10/10
Scott Baldwin (Meven_Stoffat) After patiently waiting a year and a half for the corrected DVD release of DOTR, I was excited to buy it because I heard a better DVD was coming out. Even when I heard all the deadly reviews, I still wanted to buy it. Everyone was complaining about the fact that Steve Harris (Maiden bassist) had edited it, so I thought they were kidding me. Unfourtunately, I was wrong. The editing sucked. Here's why.*SPOILERS AHEAD* Firstly, the camera shots don't even last between 2 to 3 seconds, except for in between songs. What really annoyed me most was "Dance of Death". When Bruce Dickinson re-enters the stage, the dramatic re-entrance is taken away, so that you can't see him! Now had I have not watched the third disc, I would have thought that Bruce was singing from off-stage. I didn't know who the editor was at first, and I thought he/she should be fired. But when I learned that Steve Harris edited it, I was shocked. He did a good job Maiden England, why can't it be the same for this one.Really I thought it was a good concert, decent set list, I like how they ended with "Run To The Hills", but the editing was just bad. I, Myself, am a Maiden fan, and I will not tolerate such crap. If Steve Harris edits the next DVD, I am not buying it.*SPOILERS END HERE* The DVD package is worth owning, even if you are a Maiden Fan. but If you want a better version, get the CD version. It's for your own good.
MRlambfries Wow, I read on Netflix that the "MTV" style editing was really annoying, but I thought it could't be worse then the "Whtenake: In the Still of the Night" DVD. Boy, was I was I wrong. Concert disc:Let me get this out of the way first. The concert itself would have been great. Though Bruce is not at his best as far as sustaining the notes (I have heard bootlegs of this same tour wear he sounds much better) the other players are spot on. The average angle change is about 3x a second. Think about that. It's so bad that there is a warning that the DVD may cause seizures for God's sake. The other problem with all the cuts, is the loss of drama that was intended with this show, particularly the song "Dance of Death". SPOILER:Bruce went through a lot of trouble coming up with and realizing the concept that goes along with the song. Elaborate costume changes, dramatic entrances and his dervish dance - all wasted. In fact, when Bruce re-enters the stage and sings, other than in the rear of one camera angle YOU DON'T EVEN SEE HIM. Had I not seen the bonus disc footage of this part from another show I wouldn't have even known it was him and thought he was singing from off-stage. He looks like set dressing in the background. END SPOILERIf this is to be way of all future concert DVDs I will be forced to stop buying them (luckily I rented this first).Bonus disc:Now this is where they get points from me. Like the "History of Iron Maiden" and also the bonus disc that came with "A Matter of Life and Death" there are extensive interviews with the band and others about the making of "Dance of Death" and the touring for said album. These were well done and clips shown on this disc are much better. Some are even from the same show, just not having all the jump-cuts on the first disc - hence more enjoyable. There are even bonus interviews (longer versions) with fans and the "Killer Crew", photo galleries and promo videos for "Rainmaker" and "Wildest Dreams". If you could buy the bonus disc solo or if it came with some other purchase, it's worth getting. I gave it a 4 rating, because the reason you buy a concert DVD is for the concert, and that is what I would rate the first disc. The bonus disc is really about a 9, but the fact that you have to buy it in this set at the moment dramatically reduces it's rating. Maiden is and has been my favorite group for over 20 years, so this isn't a casual review from someone who doesn't appreciate them. And no it isn't the end of the world. I just hope their next concert DVD (Ullevi, Sweden 2005 please - that show was awesome) is much better.
withfullforce666 After the long wait it finally came.. Death On The Road. An audio visual treat filmed on the Dance Of Death tour 2003/04. The package comes with 3 discs. 1 x Extras - Fan interviews (a bit lame, promo videos, photos and a behind the scenes on the road (very good). The other 2 are a stereo and 5.1 version of the gig (a bit pointless in my opinion). Anyway, the actual gig has been put together by Steve Harris again so the edits and cuts are immense... and there are a few black and white crowd shots. A bit of a shame but it doesn't take too much away from the finished product. The set contains a healthy wedge from the 2003 album as well as the trade mark anthems. Lord Of The Flies makes it in as the Blaze era token track.. not bad but it would have been nice to have had a lesser heard classic thrown back in (Powerslave? Wasted Years?).. The stage production for the tour rivalled that of the mighty 7th Tour of a 7th tour back in 88. Castles, Reapers & a couple of Eddie's are the setting for the show. A visual treat for sure. A very good concert DVD is whats on offer. A few flaws in terms of editing in my opinion but its pretty damn good. Is it as good as Rock In Rio? Nearly! The next DVD looks like it'll be the Ullevi Stadium show from 2005. I strongly feel that Steve should hand the editing job over to someone else to get a new feel to it. The TV broadcast version doing the bootleg rounds is bloody good. Needs a bit of tweaking but hold on to most shots for a few seconds at least. That could well be the best new line up Maiden DVD we'll see.
