Absolutely the worst movie.
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Hello!!! I just bought the DVD "I' m going to tell you a secret" and i watched it with great enthusiasm and extreme admiration the the female pop-star. She -once more- proved that she really is the Queen of Pop, a tremendous trend-setter as far as fashion, politics and religion are concern. Her show was clearly provocative but was extremely inspired and glamorous. Madonna stands alone between two worlds... The stage and her family. There are numerous juxtapositions inside the film...Madonna is spectacular on the stage, but she is also a woman with political and ethical values. I have to admit that perhaps she gave too much emphasis to her being a follower of Caballah, but on the hole the film is great...A must for all Madonna fans and for people who love show business. A graphic and artistic triumph by any means. Generally speaking, I saw a Madonna much more wise, raw,authentic and determined. She has a belief and she stands for it.Oh, and if you need some extra pop-star glam quality seek for the name Anna Vissi. She is huge...
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Madonna...and she usually does no wrong in my eyes! However, I think when you have a music video director make your film instead of a film maker...that's what you get; music videos! I, of course, am referring to the live performances in this piece. They're ALL edited, chopped, and superimposed with graphic effectsnot a good representation of a live performance from this tour at all! I should know, I saw her 6 times on this tour in '04. The behind the scenes footage is nice...but I REALLY would've liked to see at least ONE performance in its entirety! Please Madonna, for your fans' sake, release an unedited version. Better yet, release a full-length performance of the Re-Invention Tour!
You cannot review this without comparing it to Truth or Dare, even Madonna said in a recent interview that the two go together.This time round its the Re-Invention (2004) tour that is backdrop, where in Truth or Dare (TOD) it was the Blonde Ambition tour (1990). The Re-Invention tour was hyped at the time because of the heavy focus on the back catalogue used, and the fans loved it. The same method of filming is used in IGTTYAS, black and white over colour for live performances. The dancers again are used as characters but this is where the film goes off track slightly. In TOD you managed to really got to know who the dancers were, you became familiar with their faces and humour. Here you rarely get any of that, all the focus is on madonna and Guy Ritchie. There just is not a good balance between knowing madonna and what its like being on a world-wide tour with madonna, dancers and crew. Yes the prayers are all here again but the edits are all so quick around back-stage antics. It all passes in a blur and you have no idea what really is going on. The live sections are better as you get a better feeling what it all looks like when its up and running. I thought that the whole film did not flow properly because everyone either went on for too long (meeting her dad at the ranch) or too quick, that back stage scenes. Madonnas children add some delight to the show, you become aware of the effects on them of what its like having madonna be on a world tour.So the film is a great show of madonna in her 30's to madonna in her 40's. its a great in-look on family life and how it works around madonnas life. Its just a shame the tour/film has not as many characters this time around.
even that many people didn't like Madonna's message at her last tour, i think it's her pretty damn right to say what she wants! the only sad thing about this doc is, that they re-engineered her voice what shouldn't be. we all know that she has problems to keep the beautiful voice on stage. her original voice would better match to the re-invention title so she could show the world: i am proud of my voice doesn't matter that my voice is not always 100% perfect!!! this doc is not only be recommended for Madonna fans! i had the chance to see the TV version of it. and i must say the f***ing beeps made me crazy.. how stupid to just beep every f**k word i mean in that modern times but anyway will buy the original DVD without beeps hopefully
