Mildly disappointing "reunion" of the fictional band made famous by the wonderful mockumentary, THIS IS SPINAL TAP. Most of the film consists of concert footage, and though the actors do a more than credible job on-stage, you come away wishing there had been more interviews and gags. Almost all the best songs were featured in the original movie, although there is a wonderfully cynical finale. Not bad, but on a scale of 1 to 11, a very modest 6.

It was fun to watch Spinal Tap back in action 10 years on, and there was some humor in the (all too infrequent) interviews and bits. But it really isn't worth the effort to buy or put much time into finding this video.

It doesn't feel like a cash-in; the product is not some c****y cop-out. No, the problem lies more in the same range as the problems with watching a Weird Al concert video - the joke just doesn't work if you weren't there in person. It becomes, at best, something that makes you raise a slight grin... whereas in person, the show was probably a blast.

THIS IS SPINAL TAP is probably the funniest rock mockumentary ever made and also it's one of my favourite movies ever, so naturally I wanted to see this spoofy Tap concert. There is gags between the concert footage with Nigel Tufnel and St. Hubbins discussing their childhood and early musical life in Squatney, London. The sound quality of the actual concert was terrible. Michael McKean's voice was terrible. Very grouchy sound and the gags just didn't work. They obviously were playing off on the funniness of THIS IS SPINAL TAP, but the gags here are very similar to THIS IS.. and also very predictable. If you are a die-hard TAP fan, you'll probably love this, but for me it was a huge dissapointment! 4/10

Spinal Tap is probably my favorite Comedy of all-time. Needless to say, I was quite excited to see this film. But this just did not deliver. I can't believe it was the same actors doing this.

It was mildly amusing overall, but extremely weak. I would only recommend to Spinal Tap fans who are really bored. (3.7/10 - rounded up to 4/10)

Those who loved This Is Spinal Tap generally divide into two categories: those who love heavy metal and those who hate it. If you fall into the latter, The Return of Spinal Tap is probably not for you. If, on the other hand, you watched the movie and then went out and bought the soundtrack... it's definitely worth your time. You should know, though, what to expect beforehand. The Return of Spinal Tap is not a satire or a mockumentary like This Is Spinal Tap. It's nothing more and nothing less than Spinal Tap Live. Don't get me wrong: Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer are still funny as hell; but the brilliant commentaries carry less weight in favor of the music. And why not? The joke could never have been as funny the second time around, so instead, the three just decided to have some fun, returning to their beloved characters and living out the dream of doing a big rock concert in front of a huge crowd. Frankly, the concert segments are much funnier this time around, with the on-stage antics of the three brilliant comedians, as well as winks back to the first movie in segments like 'Rock N' Roll Creation' and 'Stonehenge'. Plus, you get to sing along to all the beloved, cheesy, brilliantly idiotic songs from the first movie, like 'Big Bottom', 'Sex Farm', 'Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight', '(Listen To The) Flower People', 'Hell Hole' and 'All The Way Home'. Also you get a bunch of great new songs like 'Bitch School', 'Break Like The Wind', 'Clam Caravan' and 'Cash On Delivery' with a rare lead vocal performance by Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer - by now, keep in mind, a Simpsons veteran).

Before you watch The Return Of Spinal Tap, you should ask yourself two questions. The first is - do I really love Spinal Tap, or did I like it just for the satire? If you really loved the first movie, you'll love seeing the beloved old characters of Smalls, St. Hubbins and Tuffnel return. The second is - would I enjoy watching a Kiss concert? If you answered both these questions with a positive reply, watch it.

To say this movie (straight to video it looks like) is as classic and groundbreaking as the original This Is Spinal Tap would be wrong. But still, the film has it's moments of being utterly hilarious and is worth watching through the flaws. It consists of concert footage and songs not yet heard. But it also has backstage and outside footage of the band. That footage is not great outside, but there are some real laugh out loud moments, like when Nigel shows his new invention- a foldable wine glass (but it still needs hinges). Martin Short, Paul Schaffer and Rob Reiner appear in cameos; the songs include Hell Hole, America, Stonehendge and Tonight We're gonna rock it. A-

I feel a little disappointed with the comments here, because I thought the film was brilliant. The songs are as cool as ever, and the new interviews and documentary footage are incredibly funny, easily equaling the original film. Anyone who's seen this will know what I mean when I talk about The Folksmen...

What shocked me though, is that here in the UK, the film has a PG certificate, and yet the band clearly uses the words c**t and f**k! I guess the guys at the BBFC weren't paying much attention...

Overall, I'd give this an 8/10, not quite as good as the original film, but a good laugh.

"The Return Of Spinal Tap" proves that Spinal Tap were indeed a band of superb musicians, excellent vocalists and ultimate showmen. It doesn't matter that they are fictional characters, because what you get here is one of the most powerful sounding and visually impressive rock'n'roll stage shows anyone could ever hope to see.

Sadly when Tap did Australian appearances to promote their "Break Like The Wind" CD, the public and media all thought that they were joking when they said they were planning a world tour and that Australia could be included if demand was high enough. This film is some compensation for all of us who missed out on experiencing Tap live and at their peak.

Filmed with inclusion of state of the art flying cameras and superb visual editing as well as sound production. I've enjoyed many repeat viewings of the LaserDisc over the years - and I'm always blown away. Crank your sound system to eleven and enjoy the ride.

I was at this show with several friends at the end of our musical tour through the U.K. We read about the concert on our flight from LAX and got tickets as soon as we landed. Originally scheduled for one night, it sold out so quickly they had to add a 2nd night.

Was great to sing-a-long with "Big Bottoms" and other classic Tap hits. I bought the LaserDisc as soon as it came out in '93 and have enjoyed it several times. It is longer than the current DVD release and so much fun to see my 'seat' in the long shots!

A great follow up to the classic film... if you've not seen the original, watch it first and then settle down for Spinal Tap playing "At Home" in the U.K.

Hey! Whatta ---- !! Why doesn't this band appear anymore? This "rockumentary" actually gives a real touch, and not only is it tunes in the name of DreamEvil and Manowar ... this band was actually BEFORE these kind of bands. I really dig "Tonight I'm gonna rock you tonight" and "Rainy day sun", because this band gives a touch of different kind of music genres. The old 60s weed-smokers-and-get-stoned-and-say-hail-to-the-rainbow-music stuff as well as heavy metal.

It's also fun to watch their self ironic stuff, like in the intro when they can't get down on the scene. Or when they get out of the eggs and one dude dressed up as chicken actually appears in one of them. Hilarious! I strongly recommend this film for all beginners of heavy metal. 10 out of 10.

PS! If you're expecting a sequel to the original "This is spinal tap" you'll however get disappointed. This should be watched more like a "serious" concert recorded live.

The first second movie of the greatest band that graced our shores in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s, 20s. If I could I would give it an 11 I would!

The band was in top form and the drummer this time stayed alive long enough to get through the show. What more could a fan ask for with the only band that mattered to anyone. Beatles? Stones? Who? The Who? Guess who? No just Spinal Tap!

Blimey, I worked some dates on this tour, and thought it was a different film. No accidental gardening accidents just fun!

No cucumbers wrapped in foil, but they had a massive sound rig and were hilarious, almost ...almost kinda as hanging and working for Bill Hicks - magical days. Thanks for the date remind.

Don't forget Bad News ( on tour), if you like this.

Love Rob Reiner and his tasty films, they always bring a smile, so I'm even watching When Harry Met Sally for the first time tonight .

When I think of the stage pods I always send upwardly love to Hawkwind's Huw Lloyd- Langton- a dear friend, whose prog influences get an influence in the film.
