Movie Reviews of Michael Flatley - Lord of the Dance

Movie Review: Tasteless Child Molestation
Summary: 1 Stars

This dance is a product of the worst taste. The females roles are degrading and the dance mimics a pornographic strip show. If Flatley wants to be a porn star, he should produce those kinds of film and leave the dancing to Jean Butler and Colin Dunne.

Many of the dances are centered around the two lead female characters riviling for Flatley. The real disgusting bit comes in when you consider that the leading lady herself if 16 years old and being given validation by a crowd of cheering fans as she dances routines that are extremely sexual. This could almost be over looked--an expression of young female sexuality except the dance is clearly not the work of a teenager. Flatley makes gestures to the girl that are extremely inappropriate. In other words, he creates a musical production in which he can sexual harrass the leading character who is a minor. Shame on him and anyone helping to victumize a litte girl. A 16 year old may have a dancers body but she does not have a mindset to manage the advances of a man twice her age--even for show purposes. Simply gross.

Summary of Michael Flatley - Lord of the Dance

Takes irish dancing to spectacular new heights. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 01/09/2007 Starring: Michael Flatley Run time: 93 minutes Rating: Nr
Billed as an updating and retelling of Irish folk legend, Lord of the Dance is less Erin Go Bragh than Hooray for Hollywood. Michael Flatley, late of Riverdance, gives us the old razzle-dazzle, fashioning a Celtic-influenced spectacular that wanders far away from its Riverdance roots. The light-show presentation is closer kin to another contemporary Irish musical group, U2. Flatley himself has gone designer chic. With close-cropped haircut, earring, buffed abs, and tight black pants he bears more than a passing resemblance to Bono. But you have to hand it to the guy--he works hard for the money, as does his attractive corps. The one maddening aspect of this glitzy, entertaining 90-minute festival is the overzealous editing. No image remains on screen for more than a few seconds. Neither Flatley nor his talented troupe deserves to have such craftsmanship sliced and diced like an MTV music video. --Richard Natale
