Some great Moments, but wow, they're pompous, silly


One of my favorite bands of all time time but when they start acting like they are carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders(and they do often), this begins to seems like a version of spinal tap. Bono's mannerisms on stage make me wanna punch him in the face.

I do love most of the music though. I especially love the version of 'still haven't found' performed with the gospel choir and sunday bloody sunday. When The Edge is singing 'Van Diemans Land' in the beginning and the camera is moving across the water, I get misty.
