Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Python Hyena Glee The 3D Concert Movie (2011): Dir: Kevin Tancharoen / Cast: Dianna Agron, Lea Michele, Darren Criss, Chris Colfer, Cory Monteith: Glee has become a phenomenon on the TV circuit where its characters all associate with music while presenting a message where everyone has a place. In this film adaptation we are given a 3D concert by those associated with the show and they perform various popular songs that we know from superior talent. If you're a Glee fan then you will likely embrace its attempt at the box office. If you're not a Glee fan then you will find yourself glancing at your watch constantly. The music numbers are performed with great ion and energy but none of the stage performers are remotely interesting. We are given glimpses of fans expressing what the show represents to them. There are two segments that save the film. One involves a homosexual who tells of a crush he had in school and how his journal was misplaced and eventually exploited. Now he is able to accept his sexuality thanks to a character from the show. Another entry involves a cheer leading female dwarf who tells of her date to the prom and her becoming prom Queen. These stories are largely predictable but they hold together better than anything performed on stage. Gwenyth Paltrow appears for an on stage cameo where she performs. The point of the film is to celebrate the popularity of the TV show and its impact upon its fans. It attempts to touch our emotions through music and confessions with celebrated music yet contains no substance. Those unfamiliar with the show may not be gleeful towards attending. Score: 6 / 10
linda840325 When I first heard that the Glee 3D Concert is being made into a movie, I decided to check it out, since I am a Glee fan and all. However, after I finished watching this documentary movie of the concert, let's just say that there was no spark, no disappointment. Nothing. The movie was really short, and it did not feature some of the songs that were memorable from Glee. Nonetheless, I would not say that watching the concert on a movie was a complete waste because after all, it feels like I am more connected to the Glee characters through the live performance. For instance, when Chris Colfer was performing "I want to take your hand," there was so much emotions that I felt like I might actually cry.
Jimmy Collins I love Glee, I love Lea Michele, so the Glee movie was definitely put on my list of must see films. My partner and I have been having withdrawals since the end of season 2, so this was the perfect filler in for the time being.There's lots of things wrong with this movie, for starters it is much too short, I was devastated when it all if a sudden ended, secondly I thought the stories in between each song were unnecessary and boring, and finally the fact that not all the cast get a chance to sing a solo is also disappointing, but obviously the producers have to cater to a lot of fans and they try to give each cast member a little bit of screen time, I somehow have a feeling that Blaine and Britney are the favorites as they are the ones who get the most screen time, however disappointing this was it's all worth it when mighty Rachel Berry graces the screen, Lea Michele is a born performer and she knows how to give an audience what they pay for, her songs are by far the most well performed. It was also nice to see Dianna Agron on a big screen, out of the entire cast I think she is one of the only ones who will have a sustained career once the show finishes.I'm surprised that this movie is such a box office flop, considering what a juggernaut Glee is it's just plain weird to see it failing the way it is. I went to a 3pm session on a Monday at a very popular cinema in Sydney and me and my partner had the entire theatre to ourselves, not one other person was in the cinema. So we basically had our own private screening, we just got into it though,we had a bit of a sing and dance.Another thing I will point out is I think the use of 3d worked very well, this is probably the first movie I've seen where the 3d was good and not just blurry, and the surprise cameo by Gwyneth is excellent.So yeah, Just go with it, there's a lot if fun to be had if you just take it for what it is. Long Live Rachel Berry!!!!!!
Payton Jordan I am in love with Glee, but of course the tour doesn't come near me. This movie makes you feel like you're actually at the concert. The songs are great! They are mostly from season 2, but there are some from season 1. The message is really good and comes across nicely. The one thing I wished for was more commentary from the characters, and I would have liked to see some more skits. My mom was in the theater with me and she has never watched Glee before. She really enjoyed it and wants to put the Glee songs I already have on her iPod. (lol.) Some parts aren't really for younger kids even with it being just PG. Like I said, I didn't go to the concert and I really suggest that fans of Glee who also did not get to see it go to see this movie!
