DVD Reviews of ABBA: The Movie [Blu-ray]

DVD Review: Better than expected.
Summary: 4 Stars

Many of the reviews for "ABBA The Movie" are pretty poor. I actually like the movie and all the live footage. The plot is simple and not all that great - some reporter trying to get an interview all the way through the movie. They were one of the greatest groups of all time and this movie shows it.

DVD Review: The DVD's and CD's are the best
Summary: 5 Stars

I could listen to, or watch ABBA all day and never get tired of it. Their unique sound and harmony is the best I've ever heard. Can't get enough of them. Too bad they had to break up. I love to watch Benny on the Piano. They all look like they are having so much fun.

DVD Review: Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars

If you are a fan of ABBA then you will enjoy this DVD. It is too bad that so many of the songs were not full versions, but otherwise very good sound and picture quality.

DVD Review: It's A Documentary and, I Guess, A Quasi-Musical
Summary: 5 Stars

In a way, it is a musical. The plot is thin, yes, and can get quite tedious after seeing the DJ get dejected and missing them until the end, but its still one. Like when he's shocked that a ticket costs $50 some guy is trying to sell him in the beginning, cue Money, Money, Money (I know I'm stretching it, but in certain explanations, they do seem stretched). But that's besides the point. This, along with certain other ABBA DVDs, is the only way to see them live, because, as most fans know, they didn't like to travel. And its a real treat to hear Get on the Carousel as they'll probably never release it on any kind of music format. The other songs sound great live especially SOS, Money, Money, Money, He Is Your Brother, Intermezzo No. 1, Why Did It Have to Be Me, Fernando, Dancing Queen (actually, all the songs sound good live). The three music videos (The Name of the Game, Eagle and Thank You For the Music) are in the movie, mainly (like anything that girl, you know who I mean, the one from the Disney Channel, she's like Superman/Clark Kent except with a bad wig and she likes to "leak" suggestive pictures of herself onto the Internet but still calls herself a roll model for young girls, puts out with that garbage show/concert "movie"/feature length "movie") just to plug them as the songs that will be featured on their next album (aptly titled "The Album").

DVD Review: Silly yet enlightening...
Summary: 4 Stars

ABBA The Movie, has an interesting plot that never quite developes into a satisfying view. That said, the movie presents an era and unique glimpse behind the scenes that we have not seen before. For an ABBA fan, the romp is enlightening.

Description of ABBA: The Movie [Blu-ray]

Blu Ray pressing. Region Code A. Abba's documentary of their 1977 Australian tour features great concert performances and behind-the-scenes footage of the band as they make their way through the land down under. Abba-mania was in full force at the time and the airport scene at the beginning of the film is reminiscent of Beatlemania at it's peak. Includes great concert scenes of the band performing their biggest hits and other favorites. Universal.
