Pink Floyd - The Wall Review
Who was that idiot that called this movie crap??? Oh my GOD! How could ANYBODY say this classic is crap???? As far as I'm concerned you could glue googly eyes on crayons as long as you played Pink Floyd music with it I'd STILL buy it!! What kind of a freak doesn't like Pink Floyd?? He even made some nasty crack about Cheech and Chong!! Obviously from the sound of his review he probably has all the personality of a pea. Jeese, who turned over the rock?!!
My uncle loved this movie, and he's 80 years old!! What can I say, the old man has taste!! Respect your elders, buy this DVD!!!
In any kind of packaging, this film is pure perfection. The "comfortably numb" segment is nothing short of amazing!! David G. is a GOD on the guitar!! As far as I'm concerned, the animation is as better than a lot of the soulless crap animation that is produced now!
This movie is a timeless masterpiece that never gets old. I've seen the concert and probably watched this movie a thousand times!
I highly recommend this movie for those of you out there who are looking to add pure perfection to your DVD collection!
You wanna impress people that are looking through your movie collection, then make sure this movie is in there!! And hey, you get a poster with it! How great is that??

Pink Floyd - The Wall Specifications
By any rational measure, Alan Parker's cinematic interpretation of Pink Floyd: The Wall is a glorious failure. Glorious because its imagery is hypnotically striking, frequently resonant, and superbly photographed by the gifted cinematographer Peter Biziou. And a failure because the entire exercise is hopelessly dour, loyal to the bleak themes and psychological torment of Roger Waters's great musical opus, and yet utterly devoid of the humor that Waters certainly found in his own material. Any attempt to visualize The Wall would be fraught with artistic danger, and Parker succumbs to his own self-importance, creating a film that's as fascinating as it is flawed.
The film is, for better and worse, the fruit of three artists in conflict--Parker indulging himself, and Waters in league with designer Gerald Scarfe, whose brilliant animated sequences suggest that he should have directed and animated this film in its entirety. Fortunately, this clash of talent and ego does not prevent The Wall from being a mesmerizing film. Boomtown Rats frontman Bob Geldof (in his screen debut) is a fine choice to play Waters's alter ego--an alienated, "comfortably numb" rock star whose psychosis manifests itself as an emotional (and symbolically physical) wall between himself and the cold, cruel world. Weaving Waters's autobiographical details into his own jumbled vision, Parker ultimately fails to combine a narrative thread with experimental structure. It's a rich, bizarre, and often astonishing film that will continue to draw a following, but the real source of genius remains the music of Roger Waters. --Jeff Shannon

A wonderfully strange movie for Pink Floyd/ Roger Waters fans - Dream Weazle -
This movie has some beautiful animation and awsomely strange scenes that flow along with Pink Floyd The Wall album. Highly recomended if you like strangeness!
Bizaare experience but well worth it. - D.L. -
Among my top 5 for music to chill out to. And the film is spellbinding and perfectly in sync with the music. Bad day? Kick back, get "comfortably numb", and just get lost in it.
Pink Floyd, Yhe Wall review. - Nuke Ray - Miami, FL USA
Loved the movie from the first time I saw it at the theater way back then. I like the fact that the interviews and the added footage gives you a glimpse on how everything got put together. Great effort, great concert, great movie.
