Title: he needed to retire.
Review: Flatley looks tired and well past his prime in this version of LOTD. All the intrusive editing cannot hide the fact that he never once looks like the best dancer on the stage. His steps are sloppy, mushy, and flat-footed...when he's even dancing at all. Mostly he just hams it up in front while a stagefull of talented young dancers do what he just can't seem to manage anymore. He does play the flute in a couple of numbers, and he's not bad at all...but did you really buy this video to see him play the flute? The "Feet of Flames" solo near the end is just not worth the wait. It's just a few flurries of tapping in between "aw shucks" nods at the audience, and in it he does moves that were done far better by Maria Pages and Colin Dunne in the second Riverdance video. Flatley was great in the first LOTD, but I think you'll be disappointed with this.
Is the review positive or negative?
