Movie Reviews of ABBA The Movie
Movie Review: Not as good as the Number One Hits DVD
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this and the Number One Hits DVD at the same time. I was expecting a lot better sound quality and showing ABBA on stage performing their songs in concert. At times it appeared to be more like an amateur video shot with no direct sound connection to the microphones, but instead just ambient sound through the audiance. The editing also cut back and forth during songs to a quasi story of some country and western DJ assigned by his station manager to get an exclusive interview with ABBA and put it on the air in a special program. But the baffoon has no credit credentials and hasn't the first clue about how to set up an interview with the manager.
So the movie takes us around Australia with the DJ chasing and getting kicked out of every concert because he has no ticket or press pass.
Some of the songs sung in the concert I've never heard. Don't wish to hear again.
If the movie had concentrated on ABBA, behind the scenes more, being on a road tour and just interviews with fans and a much better sound feed and cameras set up to film a concert, this might have been good. As it was, I resold it faster than it took to watch it.
The other DVD, Number One Hits is worth the money. I'd pass on this one.
