Advantages: A dance feast galore for your eyes and ears
Disadvantages: Much of the sameness throughout the shows

...of the Dance and also Michael Flateley in Riverdance. I saw the original intermission act when it was on the Eurovision song contest and before it became really huge internationally. Its an asbolute phenomenon! However I felt a little cheated by this product as it didnt clearly explain that Feet of Flames is more or less the same show as Lord of the Dance but revamped a bit and modernised somewhat by marginally different routines and marginally different ...
...its more or less the same show. I do prefer the original lord of the dance show to Feet of Flames. Celtic Tiger is a different and got new routines, costumes and of course the Flatley himself, doing his usual thing and having his own moments alone on the stage showing off his fantastic tapping skills. If you love Riverdance and Flatley in general and are an admirer of his work, then I would say just buy the shows you know you like for keep sake. ... Read review

Advantages: Great visuals, great acting and great songs
Disadvantages: a bit bloody for younger viewers who might otherwise enjoy the macabre story

...BBC's wonderful adaptation of the Sweeney Todd story, would be much mistaken.When it was at the cinema I heard several people say that they didn't realise it was a musical, maybe that could have been more clear in the advertising. Having read about this film for quite some months before it came out I was very excited to watch it. After all it was a combination of Tim Burton and Jonny Depp, a wonderful stylish director and one of the finest actors ...
...and great characterisation of Todd et all, and I was in no way disappointed. Victorian London through the eyes of Burton was a joy to look at, the camera sweeping over wonderful dark gothicesque buildings and alleyways, nooks and crannys. Burtons use of a limited subdued pallete gives the whole film a wonderfully dark subdued atmosphere, only contrasted by the rich reds of the plentiful blood. Depp once again turns in a performance worthy of any ... Read review
