I half expected a better effort cinematically from the Haus of Gaga, which should not be taken as a detrimental statement on the rest of the show, that was spotless, and her singing was spot on and awe inspiring.
The intro started very well, and the concept of separating the stark Technicolor-ness of the show with a black and white behind the scene was inspired, but the execution gets exhausting after a while. Case in point, the in between segments between sets, provided no added bonus other than to show you what goes on backstage (acrimoniously, because we don't know, or can guess, that she runs backstage and rushes to get changed by a million people).
That aside, I enjoyed the concert, it was energetic, it was well rehearsed, well presented, and the sets and costumes never ceased to excite and surprise.
It, by no means, comes close to the cinematic oeuvre that is Martin Scorsese's The Last Waltz (1978), but it is no less enjoyable.
If you are a fan of popular music, 'pop' it in and enjoy.
