It’s a fun-filled concert that brings back all those catchy tunes that have been stuck in your head for years. The atmosphere of the O2 Arena is electric and you can feel the crowd's energy leap off the screen. While it’s packed with nostalgia, I found myself longing for more behind-the-scenes insights, perhaps a glimpse into the band’s personal stories or struggles. The performances are solid, but at times they felt a bit formulaic, like ticking boxes for fan favourites. The newer songs, while enjoyable, didn’t quite hit the same high notes as the classics. Still, if you’re looking for a lively watch that’s all about good vibes and sing-alongs, this concert film delivers just that. Show less
