How sad is this?
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
ABBA, one of the biggest groups in the entire world. Yet so little is known about the Swedish foursome. This documentary tries to enlighten us about 10 years of ABBA in 60 or 90 min. (depends on which version you have seen). But, of course, 60 or 90 min. is far too short for that. We get to know almost nothing about the members of ABBA themselves. Agnetha, unfortunately, doesn't want to be filmed. It's a shame ABBA didn't want to filmed together, so that they could react upon each other, ooh what could have been...
I've been an ABBA fan for a while and really enjoyed watching this great documentary - although it's a shame Agnetha doesn't appear as much as the other members (she has her reasons I'm sure). Anyway, I believe every real fan will like it too.
The documentary was very awaited but if the constuction is clever and the archives were very good, something is missing: the 4 members talking about their life, together in the same room. I must say that the choice of the songs is too limited and a lot of tv shows from all over the world, including the strangest interviews or funny register could have been used. The solo paths are almost totally absent although it would have more lightened the personalities of the fab 4. It's strange that it seems quite impossible to capture the quintessence of their souls which is more complex than everyone seems to think
