Guess people around here know my stance on Rammstein by now and I am absolutely no fan of their recent output, marketing and partially their shows. Hell, everything since 2004/2005 can barely hold my interest, but the MIG tour was a whole different animal.
This is a perfect concert movie and seeing it on the big screen was a real treat. I did indeed hate the added special effects but they were rarely used. The song introductions are terrible as well, but damn the editing and the way some key moments of old and dearly loved songs really captured the energy of these concerts for me and the monumental feeling.
The whole middle section with Bück Dich, Mann gegen Mann and Ohne Dich is probably one of my top five Rammstein moments and I am happy that I could witness them two times live and now a third time professinally made.
I guess it depends on your taste if you dislike this kind of reimagining of a live show but I found it to be fresh, the band is playing thight, the crowd goes nuts and the setlist is perfect.
For those who are wondering which songs are (indeed sadly) cut: Spoiler: Sehnsucht, Links 2 3 4, Haifisch, Amerika, ich will
It may not be as good as Live aus Berlin or Völkerball but it is leaps and bounds better than last years movie.
