Summary: Michael Flatley...of course
Comment: It's Michael Flatley so it has to be good. I truely enjoyed it, but then again I enjoy everything about Michael Flatley. I will recommend it to all my Michael friends.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Absolutely the best of the IRISH dance dvd's!!!!
Comment: I have seen Riverdance and Celtic Tiger is superior by far! Michael Flately has out done himself with this one! If you are only going to buy one IRISH dance DVD than this is the one to get. You will not be disappointed.

Summary: Not As Uplifting, Video Too Jumpy, Topic Nationalistic
Comment: I have studied Michael Flatley's other dance videos, and this one is simply not as uplifting as Feet of Flames. All of Flatley's dance videos have video switching on speed dial, some worse than others. For someone in complete awe of Irish music and dance, I want to study what the dancers are doing for more than 3/4 second. This is not the worst of the bunch; that prize goes to the original Lord of the Dance video; a sore sight for the eyes.
I have to admit to a fascination with Irish culture, especially the music. Feet of Flames was uplifting like no other video I have ever seen, bar none (but not because of the video treatment). By contrast, the opening sequence of The Celtic Tiger frustrated me. Why can't we see the dancers? All we can see are strobe lights.
But where The Celtic Tiger really fails is that the nationalistic tone is simply not as uplifting as Flatley's earlier work. I believe the purer the Irish music and dance, the better. The hymn to Irish independence might have caused the powers that be to shut down The Celtic Tiger, if the show had not failed on its own merits. (Imagine if someone had produced an American musical with the theme "the South will rise again.") The pilots dancing number was cute until it became a striptease sequence. Ouch! The burning of Irish homes may have been factually accurate, but was still not uplifting; it was painful to watch.
Michael, please honor the tradition of Irish music and dance. Produce a video that lavishes attention on the dancers and musicians. Make a video that is Irish music and dance performance first, and a video event second. You may have to fight some video directors to get a product that is top quality, but you've shown the focus that's needed in a wide variety of performance disciplines. Rise above nationalism and stick to uplifting Irish music and dance.

Summary: Was this supposed to be a comedy???
Comment: I have been a fan of Irish Dance for many years and enjoyed many parts of Flatley's other productions. I rented this DVD expecting to gleen some positives out of it as well. I was disappointed. The "story" was hard to follow, the women's costumes quite bare, and Michael oblivious to how silly the whole thing was. Other than a few short instances of Michael's amazing dancing, my Irish dancing daughter and I actually laughed ourselves to tears at times as we watched this.

Summary: Celtic Tiger
Comment: This is an excellent show, especially if you like a lot of live dancing. These dancers are really putting their sole into this. Would recommend it highly to anyone. My husband and I will enjoy for months to come. We also enjoy his other works. Hope to see more.
