Movie Reviews of Abba Gold - Greatest Hits
Movie Review: Greed
Summary: 2 Stars
Why release this, when the definitive collection is available for a similar price, and contains more videos? Simple answer ... greed! All they have done is add three videos not available on The definitive Collection DVD, and a 25 minute doco to drag you in. But look closer, and you will see that two of the videos are not true videos:
Lay All Your Love on Me - this is nothing more than extracts from other ABBA videos. ABBA never made an actual video for this song.
Dancing Queen 1992 - this is the original 1976 video re-edited with some extracts from other videos added. People should not expect anything new in this regard.
I Have a Dream - This english video may not be available on the Definitive Collection, but the Spanish version is included as an added bonus. Depends on how much you love the song.
The Doco - 25 minutes of stuff taken mostly from the documentary "The Winner Takes it all".
'ABBA GOLD' DVD is therefore an unnecessary purchase if you already own 'The Definitive Collection' DVD and 'The Winner Takes It All' DVD.
Movie Review: Just get The Definitive Collection instead
Summary: 2 Stars
With a lot of the Abba product they could release (Abba The Movie, Abba-In Concert, hell, maybe even a solo Frida/Agnetha video collection), Abba Gold on DVD is a copout.This video collects the biggest of the big Abba videos, but wouldn't anyone who wants an Abba video collection go spring for the entire collection. The History documentary is extracts from which is also available in it's entirity on the excellent THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL documentary.
Abba is great, but a repackaged inferior video collection is lame on Polygram's behalf.
