Glee: The Concert Movie
L**S
Great performances, but...
Great performnces by the cast, and shot very well. I took off two stars becauss, throughout the film they cut to interviews with people who have nothing to do with the show.. aka “fans” talkingg about who their favorite character is, how they relate to this character, that character.. even showing footage of them at home, one kid dancing along to the tv to one of numbers from an episode... it’d all very “blah blah.” I dont know about you but I don’t care.. I’m watching for the cast and the performances.. Why do I have to watch other fans talk about the show? That was a weird choice.. They do it after every almost every single musical number. Lots of wasted time.

Blu-ray disc won't play on brand-new Sony Blu-ray player, claiming wrongly the player needs an update.
This 2011 Blu-ray of the Glee concert won't play on my two new 2017 Sony Blu-ray players, showing an on-screen message that the player needs to be updated. Well, the device was already updated, though I checked again today for any new updates (none needed), and this BR disc simply won't play.Others on the internet claim that Samsung players have a problem with this BR movie, and they blame the player manufacturer, as some others blame Sony. Me, I blame FOX for putting out a disc that won't play on current BR machines even though 300 other Blu-rays I own ALL play fine. The problem is this disc, not the machines.Luckily, the DVD plays. La dee da. I bought this item to view in high definition. Ah, well. Thanks, Fox.

Good but what's missing is bad
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.

decent 3d blu ray for the fans!
I wanted a real concert blu ray. But instead you get this. SOme songs and lots of other stuff. The show is now going to have one final season for a total of five. But back in 2011 it was a new show basically. And a huge hit. The lead actor had yet to die from drugs either. (drugs suck). This show is a lot of fun and worth the watch. The concert blu ray does have very good 3d in it and I only saw it around briefly then it vanished. I had to order it off amazon.com to get one. IN 3d the show shines better , but as others have said < I wanted a concert video. Much like the scorpions live in 3d. (that one is totally great rock shot live in 3d). I wasn't expecting hard rock here though, just fun glee club tunes. If you are a fan get the 3d version, or at least the blu ray. If you are a casual fan you may not be as happy with it. Kudos for the cast and crew for making a great tv show. which could live on if they maybe got a new cast? For a season six. But that won't happen. But this concert 3d video is for fans more than casual listeners. Unlike the scorpions 3d, or guns and roses 3d, or joe satriani 3d , all of those can be enjoyed on a the 3d level as well as the music level as they are just concerts.

not what I expected
yeah, it was cool to see some stuff live, but I thought it was going to be about glee the show and the characters, some acting, but it was just a montage of some performances. It focused on 3 kids who have it rough and have a happy ending, literally has nothing to do with the show, all 3 of them said they watched glee. It had no point, just watch the performances on youtube.

So short and boring
So short and boring, a waste of money. I could've seen all of the performances for free in the series rather than have bought the concert, waste and so short- don't waste your money.

Very Fun and Great Quality!
This is just a fun concert in your living room! If you're like me and didn't get to see Glee live, then you have to get this movie! I was hesitant about the sound, but it turned out fantastic. The quality is excellent as well. I wish we could have seen highlight clips from some of the other stops on their tour, but beggars can't be choosers. Also, with this purchase you will get to see the performances of "Dog Days Are Over" and "Friday," which were not shown in theaters.

Do not buy waste of money!
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!

Reminds you why you first fell in love with Glee
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.

Glee 3D - wow
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.

3D too Jumpy in parts and mostly a talk show
It was Glee live in concert but they spent more than half the thing by my reckoning just with the camera men talking to the attendees and doing back stories on random peoples lives. I DONT CARE, I wanted to see a Glee concert not a daytime talk show, where was the music. My entire family was rather disappointed, put all that in the extras so that anyone who cares can go and watch it. They even showed a few extra bits which made it look like there was some interesting stuff going on on-stage with the characters but they cut that for some sob story. Oh and the rapid movements of the Warblers made the 3D a bit jerky on the projector. Whether it would be better on my screen I am not sure.
