Really disappointing..........2007-02-06

Even though this film ends with a decent fight scene, most of it is drawn out and pointless. Sure Trunks and Goten can be amusing, but this is too much. Not only that, Broly comes across as a real dufuss in this one - the endless repetition of his grunted one line gets really annoying and in itself merits the whooping that he gets in the end. Broly was a ruthless villian bent on destruction in his first appearance, but he just kind 'floats around' in this one not really doing much of anything. I'd like to say that there is hope, but Bio Broly is even worse...

Something for Hardcore DBZ fans.......2006-11-29

In all respects this film was not as good as the first Brolly film, nor many of the other films, like Lord Slug, History of Trunks, and Coolers Revenge. In fact it merely acts as a continuation of the DBZ world for the hard core fans, broader anime fans won't enjoy it as much. This is brought on by the meandering nature that comes across from the positioning of the central characters of Kid Trunks; Goten; and Videl, who are looking for the Dragon Balls. Theres alot of familiar humour that ardent DBZ fans will enjoy. And the climax is the usual, though the battle between Teen Gohan and Brolly is ok.

A film for deep seatd Dragon Ball Z. I'd much more recommend Cooler's Revenge, probably because of the great rock and metal sound track with Disturbed and Drowning Pool.

Broly: Second Coming

INTRODUCTION:
The Dragon Ball Z series is one of the finest animes out there, as any fan of Japanese animation will tell you. The series has a "love it or hate it" reputation, but those fans who get into the series are totally immersed by it for a number of reasons. Young people love the series for the fast-paced action and adventure, while older fans enjoy it for the sheer number of characters, and the way they are developed and evolve over the course of time. It's no wonder the series is considered Akira Toriyama's magnum opus, and by far the best of the three Dragon Ball series. When Toei animation made Dragon Ball into an anime, they didn't copy Toriyama's mangas verbatim. They added in many sagas and plot elements not in the manga, often as a result so that the manga and anime were released at the same pace. Toei even created movies based on the series! There were thirteen movies, two television specials, and one OVA/OAV. While not usually canon to the storyline, they are an undeniable part of the Dragon Ball Z franchise that can't be ignored.

OVERVIEW:
This is the tenth the thirteen Dragon Ball Z movies.

THE STORY:
It's been seven years since the defeat of Cell. Goku has long since died, and with his rival dead, Vegeta's interest in combat is diminished. Goten and Trunks have teamed up with Videl, and are out searching for the Dragon Balls. After rescuing a girl planned to be a sacrifice for a village, everything goes horribly wrong.

Broly survived his assault from Goku on New Vegeta. Following the fight, his pod crash landed on Earth in a pond. The pond froze over. But when Broly heard Goten crying, since his crying is exactly the same as baby Goku's crying that drove him mad, he is reawakened.

Now Goten and Trunks must face off against the toughest foe they've ever faced. Even when Gohan enters the battle, things still seem unlikely.

REVIEW OF STORY:
Broly didn't need a sequel, especially not one that totally defiled what his first movie originally stood for. While the first Broly movie was dramatic and gave tremendous insight to the history of the Saiyan race, this one seems like a joke. Anything that focuses on Goten and Trunks is going to be more on the comical side, always. Fortunately, the film still provides a nice mix of humor and action alike (some of the things Trunks does to Broly are going to have you laughing yourself silly.) An otherwise mediocre film is redeemed by a great ending I'm not going to spoil for you. Only get this one if you're a huge fan of the series, or you want to find out how the Broly storyline continues.

OFFICIAL?
Since the first Broly movie wasn't canon, his sequels are automatically fake. However, this movie and its sequel could have taken place right around the time before the World Tournament prior to the arrival of Babidi took place. But for that to work, the first Broly movie would have to have taken place, which doesn't fit into the storyline at all. So ultimately I have to say this film isn't canon.

REVIEW OF DVD:
All of FUNimation's Dragon Ball Z DVDs are pretty much the same as far as content goes. There is no bonus content, unless you consider the obligatory trailers on the DVD to be bonus material. And honestly, I could have lived without them. Some more recent DVDs have character profiles, though these are lacking and could have been written better. Why couldn't get get interviews with cast and crew, or trivia/facts, something like that? FUNimation has a lot of room to improve on the DVDs.

THE DUBBED VERSION:
Lots of people tend to bash FUNimation's dub of the Dragon Ball Z series? Why? It's inaccurate and sometimes just plain stupid. They can do good dubbed versions for plenty of other animes, such as Full Metal Alchemist, but every time they've tried dubbing Toriyama's classic, they butcher it to hell. The nu metal they put in as background music only further defiles the original series. Stick with the uncut subbed track.

OVERALL:
Overall this is a decent package, but not one of the better movies. Get it only if you want to see the continuation of the Broly story, or if you're a completist who wants all the Z movies.

EDITION NOTES:
All three Broly movies were reissued in a cheap, affordable three pack! Get the three pack, because you'll be getting three movies for the price of one

Good, but not perfect.......2006-08-12

If you thought the most sinister villian in the universe was destroyed.... Think again. Broly, who apparently met his end in the diabolical explosion of the Planet "New Vegeta" escaped in a Saiyan Space pod. The sinister menace landed on the planet known as earth, home to his worst enemy: Son Goku. There, Broly was encased in a sheet of ice and slept. But when he awakens from this slumber he will go on an unstoppable rampage.... Young Trunks, Son Goten and Videl are on a quest to obtain 7 mystical artifacts known as the Dragon Balls. When the sleeping Broly hears Son Goten's cries, it brings back a memory of when he and Son Goku were just babies: and Broly awakens. Broly easily defeats Son Goten and Trunks with such power that even Majin Buu might tremble in a dark world o nothing but fear. Brash young warrior Son Gohan appears just in time to combat the menace.... but Broly is filled with nothing but pure rage, and even trying his best, the bold warrior falls to the Saiyan menace. Son Gohan pulls out the last trick in his bag: the Kamehameha wave. Son Goten also appears to help, but Broly's most powerful attack over powers them. Goten makes a wish inside his mind: and having all 7 Dragon Balls: Son Goku appears. He, Son Gohan and Son Goten use the power of togetherness to blast Broly into oblivion. And so peace reigns once again.... at least for now....

yeah... uhm.. NOOOO!!!!!! .......2006-06-23

omg... let me say it again,, OMG!! wuts up with this movies the first broly movie was freeking sweet but man the creaters must have been bored and said , " hmm i feel like making a brolly movie... yeah i got 10 minutes let me make it real fast" sersiously this made no sense.,.. i mean first off we all know how strong broly is.... having said that videl should have been killed off instantly after broly attacked her and the same with kid gotenn and trunks..
the fighting just was so slow and stupid and brolly mostly jsut hovered and didnt do anything really... bah im getting annoyed just typing this...
for all you DBZ fans stay far far faaar away from this one and just stick to either the first broly movie or get like the lord slug movie they are both way better!!!!!

Actor Christopher Eccleston (28 Days Later) is superb as a modern-day messiah in this captivating drama written by Russell T. Davies, author of the original British Queer as Folk series and the lovely Bob and Rose. Eccleston plays Steve Baxter, a mild-mannered, Manchester pub-crawler called one night to his true destiny as the second Son of God. After a couple of convincing miracles, the world looks to Steve for guidance, but he gives mixed signals: on one hand, he calls for a Third Testament to establish a foundation for living in the modern age; on the other, he predicts an imminent Judgment Day. The confusion causes mass mayhem, and Steve's disciples, especially an almost-but-not-quite love of his life (Lesley Sharp), try to make sense of the conflict while preventing devils, in human form, from undermining his mission. Ultimately, Davies's story concerns profound questions about human freedom and choice. --Tom Keogh

Description

In the mini-series opener, Christopher Eccleston stars as Steve Baxter, a man who is found incoherent by the English roadside, mumbling that he's the Son of God. His old school friend, Judith (played by The Full Monty's Leslie Sharp), thinks he's gone mad.

Steve quickly discovers it's not easy to convince everyone that he's the Second Coming, and decides to stage a major event in a soccer stadium to gain the world's notice. A miracle ensues, and he tells onlookers that mankind must write its own Third Testament or face Judgement Day in five days time. Pandemonium develops, inflamed by a full media-circus, as people try to understand what is happening. Excitement, fear, cynicism and violence erupt everywhere, as the drama speeds towards its surprisingly powerful conclusion.

• Written by Russell T. Davies, award-winning creator of the popular Showtime series Queer As Folk and Bob & Rose.
• Program first aired in the US on BBC America in October 2003.
• The ITV airing in Britain outdrew the TV debut of Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and met with both critical acclaim and controversy.
• Stars Christopher Eccleston (The Others, Elizabeth, Cracker) and Lesley Sharp (Bob & Rose, The Full Monty.)
• Nominated for a mini-series award at the Monte Carlo TV Festival.
• DVD features director's cut which includes additional 40 minutes of exclusive material.
• Presented in original widescreen format.
• Audio commentary by writer Russell T Davis and director Adrian Shergold.

Good beginning, good acting but ultimately unsatisfying.......2007-04-19

As much as I wanted to love another piece starring Christopher Eccleston and directed by Russel T. Davies, I just couldn't get behind this one. Christopher Eccleston is great as ever, anchoring a movie about the second coming of Christ and his best friend Judith (note the rather obvious symbolism in that name) is a great actress as she portrays a woman trying to figure out her newly miraculous old friend.

However, once the plot gets going and Eccleston reveals himself to the world, there's something rather unsatisfying. Setting up a "third testament or judgment day" scenario is just going to invite the producer and writer to make up something that is fairly popular for television viewers. It's either going to be preachy or Everything I Learned I Learned in Kindergartern. In fact, it turns out to be a little bit of both. While Eccleston manages to cope with a character that is both spirit and flesh - divine and confused as hell - there's really not much he has to work with. When gay skinheads confront him at a pub, one wonders why he's so unbearably vague, but then again that was just a scene the writer threw in for a sermon.

Either way, this is the kind of superficial sermonizing that one expects from either Anne Rice or Tim LaHaye. It's pretty obvious that the writers are atheists (or agnostics) and they are trying to advance an agenda. This isn't a deal breaker, but the execution leaves one cold. This is also a shame considering how JMS was so great wrestling with issues of religion and spirituality in Babylon 5 - The Complete Television Series (5-Pack) even coming to some of the same conclusions. Yet where JMS made me think, this series makes me go "eh, so Davies is an atheist. Good for him."

Compelling Drama from Maverick Writer-Producer.......2006-12-24

This 2003 UK made-for-TV movie attempts to deconstruct Western sacred myth, plays around with established religious dogma, and hopefully shakes up people's worldview a bit. The Second Coming does fall flat here and there, but it (mostly) hits the high bar that it's set for itself. This is the kind of thought-provoking drama that US viewers have to import, as most American networks wouldn't touch the subject matter with the proverbial ten-foot pole.

Steve Baxter (Christopher Eccelston) is in every sense a nobody: an ordinary doofy-looking bloke living in Manchester, England, working in a video store. A scene at the beginning of the film establishes his painful lack of success with women, and he's barely begun to work up the courage to approach the one woman who really interests him: his newly divorced mate, Judy (Lesley Sharp). Their just-budding romance is interrupted when out of the clear blue, he's hit with a revelation that he is, in fact, the son of God.

After wandering on a moor for forty days, Steve returns to Manchester and begins announcing who he is. His friends worry that he's gone off his rocker, but he immediately attracts the interest of the Vatican, as well as a handful of demons. To convince people of his divine bona fides, Steve stages a miracle in a football stadium, and once he has the attention of the world's media, announces that humanity has five days to produce a third testament. He doesn't know specifically who'll write it or what form it will take, only that he'll know it when he sees it.

A lot of The Second Coming deals with notions of faith and doubt, belief and skepticism. People's reactions to Steve are shaped very much by their spiritual outlook--not only in his circle of acquaintances but in the world at large. There are wonderful mock news reports of people rioting and protesting and even killing themselves over his revelations, and it all rings very easy to believe, given the current state of the world. Some people react with violence and hysteria, while others completely brush off Steve as a crackpot. It's those people in the middle, not sure of what to believe, whose reactions are the most interesting. Steve's dual humanity/ divinity provides a nice thread throughout the story: he can work miracles, but he's also an ordinary guy who needs to eat and sleep and use the bathroom.

The script (Russell T Davies) is for the most part tightly focused and moves at a fast pace, with good development for all the main players. The dialogue is razor-sharp and thought-provoking and very funny, in a dry, ironic English way. Davies doesn't hold back many punches in his exploration of what's wrong with humanity: greed, apathy and laziness, lack of concern for others, violence, intolerance. Conventional, organized religion takes quite a beating. Nobody is mocked for having faith, but the overwhelming message of the story is that people have to take responsibility for themselves (one excellent exchange of dialogue points out that we don't need a miracle to cure world hunger; people can do that themselves--if they want to). There's also a refreshing emphasis on the importance of free will.

The drama builds nicely to a fairly gut-wrenching denouement, but the final ten or so minutes disappoint. The resolution is apt to anger a lot of viewers, but it's not offensive so much it's pat. The movie spends two-plus hours delving into the complexity and ambiguity of good and evil, then offers a solution that seems absurdly simplistic. Such a terrific buildup deserves a more satisfying payoff.

Another problem is that the demons don't have much to do, apart from sowing dissent. They have a nice, creepy buildup--and their prime mover, Johnny Tyler (Mark Benton) is a multifaceted embodiment of that soul-draining evil, self-pity--but their motives, when revealed, seem tacked-on and spurious. There's a suggestion that their primary modus operandi is fostering despair, but this idea isn't developed to its full potential. There's also a subplot involving Steve's mortal father Frank (Peter Armitage) that serves no purpose except killing off a supporting character; anyway, Steve's otherworldly paternity doesn't add much to the story.

Despite these quibbles, The Second Coming is well worth checking out, particularly for the performances of its cast. Every actor in this production does knockout, class-A work. Eccleston rules the show as Steve: warm, funny, vulnerable, giddy with his new discoveries, overwhelmed by his role and sense of responsibility. He puts across every emotion wonderfully, with terrific body language and expressions, rarely missing a note or overplaying anything. He has a great foil in Lesley Sharp, whose portrayal of Judy is wholly sympathetic: her love for Steve never wavers, despite her doubts about his mission. Again and again, it's Judy who asks the big, important questions, and Judy who cuts through the confusion to find the answers--even when the final truth comes to her at great personal cost. Ahsen Bhatti does good, solid work as Steve's best mate, Pete. In a nice touch, nobody in the cast is physically stunning, which makes a lot of sense given the film's earthy, warts-and-all view of humanity.

The directing (Adrian Shergold) is crisp and economical and incredibly effective, and Murray Gold's modern, edgy score adds a lot of dimension. The look of the film is mostly gritty, urban-industrial realism: dirt and garbage and old buildings and hole-in-the-wall pubs. The production has a distinctive look and feeling and energy that enhances the whole notion of God-among-the-ordinary. The film has a mood and vibe that immediately sells its world to the viewer--not an easy thing to do, but it looks effortless here.

I would recommend this film with only the reservation that some may find the ideas it presents offensive; I'd suggest a rental before a purchase. The ending is a letdown, but there's plenty of strengths to outweigh the weaknesses. If you're looking for a challenging and thought-provoking piece of entertainment, I'd recommend giving The Da Vinci Code a pass and checking out The Second Coming instead.

Dark and disturbing look at the 'Death of God'.......2006-11-16

The Second Coming is a short telemovie written by the screenwriter Russell T. Davies, who is also the main screenwriter for the new series of Doctor Who.

The story begins when a young working class man, Stephen Baxter, dissapears mysteriously for a month, before he returns rambling about being the 'son of God.' At first everyone thinks he has completely lost his sanity, friends, family, and strangers alike. As the sincerity (though not the rationality) of his beliefs become apparent, his friends, family and former girlfriend grudgingly try to accept this rambling mystic back into their fold.

Baxter claims he is Jesus, the perfect fusion of the divine and human. He begins to preach that he is indeed the Messiah and calls everyone to visit a stadium in London to see an upcoming miracle. Drawing out only the most loopy and eccentric, Baxter goes into the stadium but nothing happens; then, a 'miracle' occurs (sunlight appearing in the middle of the night in the stadium) which 'proves' he is who he says he is.

After this he announces there will be a judgement; humanity must come up with a 'Third Testament' or else the world will come to an end. He also claims that hell is full and heaven is empty, and the time has come for a new beginning.

What follows is a dark descent into chaos as demons (led by Satan) possess people and try to bring down the Messiah, most cruelly by possessing those most close to Baxter (including his father and the man who dated his ex-girlfriend) as well as the police charged with protecting Baxter. The world outside also plunges into chaos and violence and indeed the world seems to be coming to an end.

Then, Baxter meets up with his ex-girlfriend. After a brief re-ignition of their romance, she invites him to eat spaghetti. She then confronts him with a dark and hideous truth; the third testament is not about writing a new bible, or a new creation, but is the judgement of humanity on God. The judgement on God for all the evils done through history in the name of religion, as well as the suffering caused to people by the existence of the supernatural, is such that it is better that God never existed at all; hence Baxter's ex-girlfriend puts rat poison into his food and claims he must eat it and die, not to atone for sin but to literally destroy himself, so that religion and all its evils are purged from humanity forever. God must die if humans are to be free, and Baxter's girlfriend claims this is what God himself has planned. At first tempted to destroy her, Baxter uses his omniescence to examine this claim, and finds that she is right. He then poisons himself and this is the end, of Baxter and God.

The series ends with a interview with Baxter's ex-girlfriend. She says there is still evil in the world, but at least now it is only human evil and hence it has a human solution. Because God is dead, there is no need to suffer the much greater evil of religion.

The thesis of this series is quite disturbing and its delivery visceral and shocking. Of course there is also the theological paradox that God cannot actually die, at least not in his own Being (which in itself classical theists have understood as possessing qualities which make it indestructible and eternal). The main point of Davies seems to be more that in our society (Western society at least) God is dead and we have killed him, in large part because we have examined religion in its various forms and found the evil in it to far outweigh the good, and hence it belongs to the dustbin of history and we need to solve our problems using our own efforts, without relying on any divine help. A dark nihilism is implied throughout this series through which we must pass before we can finally be free, and overall the concepts are quite close to those of the radical skeptic, Neitzsche.

We can of course question and reflect on whether it makes sense to say if God exists and if we are better off in a totally secular society which has entirely abolished religion. As Europe and many other Western countries enter a time when Christianity is dying and people are becoming atheists or agnostics or are turning to Eastern religions like Buddhism, it does make sense to ask whether the God of Christian thought, which dominated Europe for 1500 years, is truely dead, and is being replaced by new ways of meaning and transcendance, secular and religious. It is interesting to note that as Christianity has declined, wicca, secular humanism and atheism, rationalism, consumer capitalism, Buddhism and Islam have rushed in to fill the gap, and certainly many people find other ways of filling that 'God shaped hole' in our hearts. In the end, the question is what is Reality, and how can we know and relate to that reality, and whether or not the religious way of doing so is still meaningful in the world as it now is. The answer Davies seems to give is a very strong no, and that answer is stated in the strongest imagery possible Davies can bring to bear using the medium of television.

acting good, plot falls apart.......2006-07-08

I found this to be first an interesting idea for a plot. Jesus Christ comes again as Steve Baxter. Perhaps the most interesting idea was the question on how to understand Steve as 'Son of God'. As in most contempary film, they emphasize his humanity.

It has a interesting but poor plot. In addition, it was over symplistic and disengenious to human experience.

However it did engage me, perhaps because I thought much of the story and the characterization of God/Steve Baxter had high potential, which I hoped at some point would be realized.

As far as being great for discussion: I am not buying that ticket!!

The primary question being, 'Is God the problem?'

Best Line 'Evil is a lazy thing.' Johhny

A New Hope.......2005-10-25

For all the theological babble the premise behind this TV drama is simple. What if God was one of us? Well his son anyway.

I saw this on TV about a year ago, and the fact that I am writing about it now means that for some reason it has stayed with me.

Watch it if you can and make you own mind up.

Kiss: The Second Coming is a band-sanctioned hagiography focusing on the profit-minded 1996 tour that found the '70s heavy-metal icons back in full-bore makeup and costumes for a time-trip back to their Alive II heyday. At 122 minutes, Second Coming is an hour too long for all but die-hard devotees, and peaks with its opening recap of the band's early fire-breathing years. After that, it's a quick run-through of good-days-gone-bad clichés before the long haul of backstage shots and gee-it's-great-to-be-back-on-the-playground testimonials takes over. Little insight is present, though there is a bit of comic myth-mocking during a sequence demonstrating the inflation of the stage show's gargantuan inflatable figures of Gene, Paul, Peter, and Ace. Three tour performances, including music videos for "Detroit Rock City" and "Shout It Out Loud," alleviate the boredom. --Rickey Wright

Description

For over a quarter century, Kiss has shaped the face of popular music and rock culture. The "Kiss Alive Worldwide" tour saw the rebirth of rock's most incredible band. Who are these masked men and where did they come from? What did it take to reclaim their title as "The Hottest Band in the World?" After 18 years apart, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley, Peter Criss and Gene Simmons overcame their past differences, finally reuniting the powerhouse original Kiss lineup that wrote rock and roll legend. This is Kiss and this is their story.

Come on people, what's the title of the DVD?!.......2007-08-04

This is a super DVD documentary of KISS reuniting for their 96-97 world tour. And that's the point; the message and footage on this DVD is supposed to provide us with an entertaining look at how the band reformed and conquered the world, which it does! The DVD is excellent and all these reviews of bad footage must be from a pressing of bad disks or something. Or maybe, as others have mentioned, certain footage that looks grainy is 20+ years old. Video cameras back then sucked, look at any concert footage from any band in that era for comparison. My copy looks and sounds awesome! Anyway, get this DVD, it's excellent!

So glad they regrouped.......2006-09-20

It's a great DVD which tracks the regrouping of one of the best bands ever. I have to admit I never called Kiss my "favourite band", back then I was more of a Led Zeppelin person - it all boils down to who you're exposed to I guess.

I remember a few decades ago there was a Kerrang magazine issue entitled "Kiss vs Led Zeppelin" or vice versa. I wonder in hindsight what a worldwide vote would reveal.

It's a shame that there were some Christians who wanted to stop one of the Kiss shows that featured on the DVD... but it's worth remembering that not only Christians can be bigots. If we weren't prepared to stick up for our beliefs we wouldn't hold them; just ask Gene Simmons his opinion of a certain other large world religion.

This DVD is well worth the time & money - 5 stars.

and 3rd, and 4th....Ho Hum.......2006-06-06

Talk about self important.
GIVE US SOMETHING NEW OR GET LOST!!!

It started out great it got a little boring at times, but by the end of the disc, I loved the whole thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-03-10

Ok, I will start out by saying it lacks concert footage, actually if your looking for real concert footage its not here at all, they dont play a single song in concert on this disc, you see them on stage alot doing shows, but there is not one part in the whole disc that has a complete song in concert except for the bonus features. most of the concert footage is dubbed over by the band talking about what was going on.
Ok now that we have got that out of the way lets start the disc.
It starts out like a VH1 behind the music documentary which is really cool and is my favorite part of the whole thing, it goes all the way through to the break up , while the band is explaining in their own words why they chose to break up. then we start the reunion stuff, the MTV unplugged session, the Grammys it even shows Kiss present the Grammys with the late great TUPAC Shakur(RIP) then it shows them rehearsing the music, and then they start doing the photo shoots which are absolutley hilliarious, paul has a bunch of naked women in his session which is very awesome becuase you see everything the bush and all I loved it. then it basically went through the whole tour every country, showing clips from the tour on and off stage, it has the jay leno skits from the tonight show, they celebrate everyones birthday except peters for some reason, the dialouge from the band and the dialouge from the footage really show you that at one point during kiss's return that they actually were happy to be back together, but we all know the tradgic ending that was to come. it finishes off the program by, showing the photo shoot from psycho circus,
the bonus feature are lacking and the shandi performance was very weak, there are three concert videos though,
1.Shout it out loud(opening night at tiger stadium)
2.shandi(not worth it to watch very boring)
3.Detroit Rock city( this is from the psycho circus tour but I dont know when or wear) good dvd if you want to see a very good short documentary on the band and then if you want to know every detail behind the scenes of the concert, it is very long and drawn out at times, but just being able to hear the whole story from kiss's perspective is worth the time. i watched it twice in one day so its very good or I'm very bored. haha ack to all the curly people out there, lets bring ace back to the kiss lineup and put tommy back to work on a full concert video like "RTN" but for psycho circus and the reunion and the farewell tour. rock on.

A very detailed dvd of the reunion.......2006-01-22

The dvd was made in 1998 and was written and produced by now KISS spaceman Tommy thayer.A look at the 1996 KISS original lineup reunion.The dvd is 2 hours and 15 minutes wich is in some fans opinion too long but i think the longer the KISS dvd are the better it is because i always want more of a KISS dvd.

The second coming starts with a short look at the original band`s albums until love gun and then shows to Peter and Ace at the mtv unplugged wich leads to them coming back for the reunion 96-97 tour.It shows how the band needed practice to learn these old things again wich was not easy.They made press conferences for the tour and then went for a 2 year tour around the world;japan,usa,switzerland,france,sweede and other country around the world.

The reunion tour was one of the year`s most succesfull.There are cool backstage look at the band and funny stuff that happened .They also show KISS photo sesions and magazine covers.One of the best part is when KISS is backstage and Paul and Ace latter joined by Peter are dancing to the japanese version of `the macarena`song wich is like the funniest thing ever.Concert footages are there but you have to wait a while to see them.They shown gene`s birthday in japan,paul`s birthday and ace`s but not not peter`s.they also show people going backstage to meet them.

The dvd is good and long enough but they didnt included the psycho circus album stuffs i wish they did it would have been more representative of the reunion.I think they could have wait a bit and then they could have shown the psycho circus tour talk about the album,its photo sesions and more.

extras includes;shout it out loud,shandi and detroit rock city that probably are from the 96-97 tour.also there is a discography and kiss online information.

overall;a very good look at the reunion and tours along with extras and concert footage.worth your money very recomended dvd.To all fans.

Product Description

Numerous candidates for the Beast of Revelation have been advanced throughout the years. They have included Pope Leo X, Napoleon, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Henry Kissinger, Mikhail Gorbachev, Ronald Reagan, and even Bill Gates. Predictions about who the Beast is and what he will do are so varied and dissimilar that one could almost be forgiven for thinking that the answer to the riddle is unknowable to all but God. And yet the Bible clearly challenges us to gain understanding so that we can decipher his identity. By placing the book of Revelation in the context of the time it was written and letting Scripture (rather than current events) interpret Scripture, a plausible candidate for the Beat of Revelation has been identified or, more properly re-identified. If you will consider Dr. Gentrys case with an open mind and Bible, his teaching is likely to revolutionize your understanding of the book of Revelation while energizing your entire worldview as well. The Beast of Revelation Identified (DVD) is divided into three sections that are easily adaptable for Sunday School or personal Bible study. Historical footage, graphics and a compelling introduction by Eric Holmberg help amplify the material you are about to consider. A one hour Q&A session addresses many of the speculations and objections presented by the modern-day self proclaimed prophecy experts.

Compelling Arguements.......2006-07-26

If you are interested in the Book of Revelation, then this DvD is for you. Everyone I have shown it to agrees - even my 18 year old son! I found Dr. Gentry's arguements for a pre AD 70 dating for the writing of Revelation to be logical, interesting and compelling.

Mind-blowing and paradigm-shifting!.......2006-06-27

I loved the introduction by Eric Holmberg; I could totally relate. After I became a believer I got caught up in "rapture fever" because it was the default setting for true Bible-believing Christians. But as I studied the Bible and got to know God better, I gradually started having problems with the system. Satan is definitely alive; but is he "really well on planet earth?" This DVD really helped me work through some of these issues and better understand the book of Revelation.

DISPEN - SIN - SATIONALISM!!!.......2006-03-30

The Left Behind generation has rejected scholarship in favor of speculation, fact in favor of fantasy, and history in favor of "nonfiction." In this brilliant doculecture, Dr. Kenneth L. Gentry explains that the Beast of Revelation was easily identifiable to first century Christian. They were the ones who received the Revelation of Jesus Christ written by the hand of the Apostle John and these same first century Christian were the letters primary audience. If you like being challenged, this production from The Apologetics Group will do just that.

A REAL EYE-OPENER!.......2006-02-10

Like a lot (most?) Christians, I have struggled to understand what Revelation and other apocalyptic passages in the Bible are really talking about. Popular "Left Behind/Satan is Alive and Well" teaching has never quite settled well with me. It just doesn't seem to square with the victory of the cross, the crushing of the serpent's head and the greatness of the Great Commission ("All power has been given to Me..." Matt. 28:18) This DVD really helped open my eyes and heart... Eric Holmberg's introduction alone is worth the cost of admission."

The director and writers of this aimless menagerie of unrelated scenes must have been high on drugs. A total waste of time and money.

Confused mess........2004-11-05

This movie is an hour of the most poorly told story with some inept acting to help it along. From the obvious symbolism of the two smoke stacks towering over the two young men meeting to the grainy, pseudo-documentary footage, this movie is irritating from the get go. Don't let the cover fool you, as it did me. That image comes about three times in the movie and means almost nothing. Don't waste your time and money on this one. It's price is the only thing that is of high quality. It is not enlightening, uplifting or entertaining. Why bother?!
