Movie Reviews of Muse: Hullabaloo Live at Le Zenith, Paris
Movie Review: MUSEROCKS!
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is a gift to us hardcore Muse fans. Not only is the concert awesome but the second DVD provides some great looks at Matt, Chris and Dom.Movie Review: Good for fans
Summary: 4 Stars
This DVD set is a good addition to any Muse fan's collection. That said, this isn't as well done as the concert on the HAARP set. However, it is interesting to compare the two and see what great leaps Muse has made in terms of fan base, style, presentation, and all-around pinache.
The direction of the concert is good, but not great. It's quick cuts and fast paced "action sequences" try to keep in the spirit of the music, but would probably be better suited to a hardcore metal band like Slipknot. The extreme close-ups are something you will love or hate. How close to Bellamy's nostrils do you want to get? That is up to you as a fan.
One note of caution in buying this dvd here: it is listed as all-region and it is actually Region 9. Therefore, Americans may not be able to watch it on their standard dvd player. It will play in DVD-ROM drives for computers and if you happen to have an all-region dvd player (which are not easily found).
Movie Review: Epic concert.
Summary: 4 Stars
The concert on the first disc is definitely one of the best, if not the best, Muse concert out there. Splendid performance and quality. The set list feels very complete and amply shows off songs from both Showbiz and Origins. The second disc having a few hours of great behind the scenes videos from the tour. Truly a great buy. However, only four stars because I could not play either DVD in any of my DVD players, could only play them through my computer (Although I did not try a game system).Movie Review: Even "okay" is good enough
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this for my Muse-fanatic wife and watched it with her as soon as it arrived. Though not nearly as good as the live HAARP DVD, it's still fun to watch Hullabaloo to catch a few more Muse tunes performed live. Musically, Muse lives up to their press as a sonically stellar live band. Visually, however, the video gets annoying to watch at times because they appear to live by the motto "let's see how many different camera shots we can squeeze into every song". So you really never get the sense you're actually at the concert the way you do with the HAARP dvd where you get a lot of time to watch the guys do their thing. My other complaint would be that we couldn't get the DVD to play on any of our DVD players and can only watch it on our computer. It must have something to do with the formatting and perhaps I missed the warning somewhere when I was ordering it. Still, it's Muse, and I guess even an "Okay" dvd is good enough with Muse -according to the wife.Movie Review: Not Region-1 (USA) Friendly!
Summary: 3 Stars
Don't get me wrong, I *love* Muse. But I am frustrated by the listing saying "All Regions". The item description says "All Regions" but I just tried this in my USA-bought Sony PS3 to upscale the signal, but the screen comes up "'PAL' not supported" (!!). Now, on my computer the DVD-disc-1 is playing, with the 'canned' software that came with my Windows-Dell laptop, so that's OK I guess. But not the same as having it run through the PS3 and the sound system+big screen tv, right? Maybe I am the blind one and should have read more of the reviews, but I wished this had been REALLY CLEAR in the item description. Buyer beware, which makes me very sad because I <3 Muse! :{
