Glee: The Concert Movie (Blu-ray/DVD + Digital Copy)

Wonderful show with great music sland singers. Entertainment at its fullest sense of the word. For everyone, all ages.

As a Gleek, I had high hopes for this movie. I was excited that I was going to be able to see some live performances from my favorite characters because I didn't have the opportunity to see it in person. I had a friend who saw them live, and she told me it was great.I was very impressed with the performances of the cast. They're a very talented group of people, and the fact they stayed in character made it better. The downfall of the performances is the fact that they aren't all the complete songs. It would've been nice to see that, but besides that, they were very good. Including the warblers in this was a great touch, and it was cute when Blaine came over to New Directions.The worst part of this DVD, besides the incomplete songs, is the fact that it is basically only concert footage and three kids talking about how Glee has impacted them. It was a nice touch to the movie, but it took up too much time, in my opinion. There was nothing I'd consider to be "behind-the-scenes." Sure, they talked to Brittany (Heather Morris) and Rachel (Lea Michele) a few times, and there was the little goofing of Blaine and the Warblers, but besides those instances, that aspect of the movie was lacking and poorly done. I would've liked to hear from other characters. Another thing they could've added is people backstage practicing and messing around. Maybe even a little bit of preparation for the show, but nothing of the sort was included.The bonus features were good for what was included. Some (maybe two?) full performances, but the entire movie should've been like that. They were cute little transitions for songs.Something that annoyed me was the fact it was pretty obvious the songs weren't in order. While it wasn't that big of a deal, it made me think of how they could've just included the entire concert and not skimped on the performances and the seemingly cute interaction of the characters during song transitions.In my opinion, they could've gone so many ways with this movie that could've made it much better than it was. I'm a little disappointed in how it was done. If they weren't going to do any behind-the-scenes clips (like I've seen in many other concert DVDs), at least they could've put out the entire concert.All things considered, I did enjoy what I was given; that's why I gave it four stars. The missing star symbolizes what I thought was missing (either the behind-the-scenes or the full concert). I just wish there was more of the characters and more music, but what was included wasn't half bad. It's what's missing that bothers the crap out of me.If you are a Gleek, this is probably a good addition to your collection. If you're looking to get into Glee, you should probably just start with season one episode one and perhaps eventually look into watching this when you get to know the characters and the stories behind why the songs are on the show.

Well, I just don't know what the other reviewers were expecting. I DID go with a friend to see the film in the theatre and we both LOVED it. I think the studio waited too long to make this. Glee after the first season became very formulaic - there was simply nowhere for the story line to go: glee club geeks can't get no respect from other students, other teachers and the powers that be - and evil Sue Sylvester wants them destroyed. Okay, we got it! As much as I loved the first season, I stopped watching a few episodes into Season 2. The novelty was gone and there was not much room for growth.This movie however, took me back to that dazzling first season - with JUST the music and the enthusiasm. I loved the performances and I did enjoy the fan interviews. My friend and I actually got up and danced along in the theatre as we watched this.My non-Glee friends and I have had many discussions about the pros and cons of Glee. My stance has always been that if the show makes some kid go out and buy a Queen album or a Judy Garland album, or a John Lennon album, or a Beatles album, etc, that would the best of all results. I mean, my pals and I had no idea who Muddy Waters or Howling Wolf were until The Stones and Yardbirds introduced them to us.I enjoyed the film IMMENSELY and it has now become my favorite workout dvd - I mean, you cannot sit still while watching this.So, to you humbugs out there, lighten up! It's still almost the musical version of The Breakfast Club. Let yourself go and just enjoy!

I saw "Glee: The Concert Movie" in the theaters with 3D and here on instant video.The original movie consists of footage from one of the live concerts, some overused 3D effects, backstage "interviews" with the cast ... in character, and three mini-documentaries with three unique Gleeks. The instant video loses, thankfully, the 3D.3D: At the theater, I found the 3D effects mostly annoying. Don't you hate it when you go to a live concert and someone sticks a large camera between you and the performers? Wouldn't you hate it even more if that "camera" were a fake, inserted by some self-indulgent "artist" who wanted to make your theater experience more "life-like?"The 3D nearly ruined the movie for me. The worst part: movie theaters charge a premium for unwanted 3D effects. I was paying extra to be annoyed.So, the absence of 3D in the instant video version almost earned an extra star from me, but it felt dishonest to give this a rating higher than a 3.Mini-documentaries: The lengthy diversions for stories about three unique Gleeks were nice and somewhat uplifting, but would have been best reserved for DVD extras. I don't need to see them more than once. I do think young teens would probably find them more inspiring than me.Concert footage: No huge complaints, especially whenever one of my favorites, such as Heather Morris, is on stage.Backstage "interviews:" These were mostly delightful and funny if you watch the show and understand that what you're seeing is another performance. Brittany S. Pierce (actress Heather Morris) even pointed out one of the few positives from the 3D: Her body looks amazing in three dimensions during the Britney Spears number.Conclusion: While I guess I can appreciate an attempt to create a "significant" film, the creators here bombed whenever coloring outside the lines. They would have been better off just sticking to concert footage and the backstage "interviews."

I love the video cause it's all music. I used it for me to watch and enjoy.

Very nice product

Me decepcionó porque aunque es blu-ray, no tiene la suficiente calidad de audio. Y sus ángulos de filmación son pobres. Considero que la serie de glee en blu-ray tiene un mejor tratamiento de grabación y por lo tanto, mejor calidad de imagen y sonido.

Me and my girls have loved the tv series but this dvd is a waste of money and I wish I had never brought it. I don't want to hear about the general public views....i just want the songs but most of the songs I didn't no! No Madonna, no Jackson which were the specials on the tv. Not many songs on there!

As a huge Glee fan since season 1, I could't wait to see this in cinemas, as i missed out on the actual tour. In all honesty it doesn't fully allow you to experience what the concert was actually like especially with the continuous breakup of fan videos (even though I do admit some of those stories were touching.) Nothing compared to the experience of a tour but a great alternative. I loved the song choices used along with the added bonus material, and thanks to the digital copy I can watch it anywhere. As a huge Darren Criss fan from day 1 I was particularly happy that he was allowed to perform in the new direction numbers, however 3 songs with the Warblers was just not enough considering they have a whole album. Overall a very feel good movie which can and always will cheer me up.

I have finally realised and come to terms with the fact that I am a closet Glee fan along with my daughter. In fact when my wife is away with work, my daughter and I will have a Glee night, involving chocolate, Fanta and Glee (my son hides in his room playing Minecraft). We're halfway through season 2 so plenty still to watch. Having said that, I haven't actually watched this 3D concert myself but my daughter says its awesome, so something to watch when the missus is away again.
