Movie Reviews of Abba - Super Troupers
Movie Review: Bombastic DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
It is a very good concert, and a good DVD as well... I like it.Movie Review: Flawed but still very worthwhile
Summary: 4 Stars
The star rating may seem a little high given some of my criticisms of this British made documentary, but the wealth of vintage footage and in-depth interviews with Bjorn and Frida more than make up for it.
Framed by events surrounding the fifth anniversary performance of the British edition of "Mamma Mia," it traces the careers of Bjorn, Benny, Agnetha and Frida before and during ABBA in a more scattershot way than 1999's "The Winner Takes It All," often using ABBA's songs and video to set up certain points about the member's lives. Footage from Agnetha's 2004 Swedish documentary promoting "My Coloring Book" is also included as well as more of her voiceover readings from "As I Am." In fact, the docu replicates some "Winner Takes It All" footage, but also includes different or extended pieces of interview and musical footage.
The biggest problem with the docu is Pete Waterman, who provides commentary/narration and comes off like an overbearing, perhaps inebriated, relative who's far too loud and won't shut up.
Fans in search of straightforward ABBA history would be better off with "The Winner Takes It All," but this has a lot to recommend it as well.
Movie Review: Nice To See ABBA Together Today
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this documentary on tv a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. The dvd is really a nice mixture of videos,concert performances,interviews new and old of the band, and the Mamma Mia performance. If you have ABBA'S other dvds you may find some of Super Troupers content found in their other dvds,but I found this Dvd more enjoyable than their other ones. Its nice how they group talks about their start,success,divorce and their current situation. All the interviews are new, and the finale has 3 of the members getting together to recieve a reward for 30 years of success. To me,one of the best parts is when Bjorn,
Benny and Frida are backstage waiting for the Mamma Mia performance to end,seeing Frida singing along to Dancing Queen backstage I thought was COOL. If you enjoy Abba you will really like this DVD. You get to see all different phases including 60's footage, Waterloo era, the touring(how did Agnetha fit into those pants) and like I said before The Mama Mia finale ends the DVD and makes you want to see more history of the band. When was the last time more than 2 members of the group have been together on stage so that alone is a treat.
Movie Review: A must have for any true ABBA fan!
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been a fan of ABBA since the 70's. I grew up with their music.
I rediscovered them in 2006 and enjoy their happy and simple music as much now, as I did over 30 years ago. More than a sentimental attachment, ABBA was truly a great and pioneering pop music group. They suffered the misfortune of existing during the early 70's to early 80's, when rock music was more prevalent.
I own another ABBA documentary DVD which goes from their beginnings to 1999. This one continues up to 2004, for the five year anniversary of the hit musical "Mama Mia". There's more coverage of live ABBA performances in this documentary. It's a worthy addition to the collection of any true ABBA fan. To me, ABBA is the greatest pop music group ever.
Movie Review: If you are an ABBA fan this DVD is a must.
Summary: 4 Stars
Very enjoyable documentary with a number of new music renditions of familiar songs. I was especially pleased to see interviews with Agnetha in English and Swedish. As I said, it includes new material not seen on any of their other DVD's. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because it left me wanting more. If you are an ABBA fanatic like me, you will love this DVD.
