Title: Lord of the Dance: Performance=4, film-making=0.
Review: What a disappointment! There's fantastic talent and effort here, but it is thoroughly painful to watch, due to the film-making.The constant, rapid shifting of camera angles, including up through the glass floor, combined with the switches to slow-motion video, make the effort to enjoy the tempo and flow of the show effectively impossible. Further, the VHS version alternated between poor lighting and oversaturation of color. Too bad. The performance is high-energy and creative, although without the "heart" of Riverdance. It's a fair-to-poor 90-minute encouragement to see the stage show, if it is ever performed again. That's about it.
