"Shakira In Concert: El Dorado World Tour" had a brief theater run late last year, and recently premiered on HBO, where I saw it. Just dizzying, and the reason I cannot rate this higher than 7 stars.
Sadly I can't say the same thing of the movie's editing, in particular during the uptempo tunes, where the camera angle changes literally EVERY SECOND.
Shakira is in fine form throughout, as is her band which sounds tight and on the mark. Meanwhile back to the show itself, it is in all but name a "greatest hits" set, with all of the expected highlights ("Whenever, Wherever", "Underneath Your Clothes", the Spanish language hits, culminating with the encores "Toneladas", "Hips Don't Lie", and "La Bicicleta"). Later on she also talks openly about her vocal problems (haemorrhage on her vocal cord, forcing the postponement of the tour by over 6 months). After a high-energy "She Wolf", we then get a backstage look on how the show was planned, and it is obvious that Shakira herself was involved in all but the smallest details. The Forum goes dark, and there she comes on stage, strutting with a rousing "Estoy aquí / ❽ónde estás corazón?". We then go to the LA Forum, as fans are storming in to get the best floor spots. "Shakira In Concert: El Dorado World Tour" (2019 release 122 min.) opens with Shakira in an elaborate underwater sequence. This particular show was filmed over two nights at the LA Forum in late August/early September, 2018. Just a few months ago, she released this movie, capping her 2018 "El Dorado World Tour". Shakira made headlines this past weekend with her thrilling Super Bowl halftime show (more on that later). Reviewed by paul-allaer 7 /10 Rousing show consisting of a "greatest hits" set This time I wasn't able to attend the tour, and after watching this documentary I realized how glad I am I didn't make it to one, because if I had spend my money to watch almost the same thing as her previous tour but with her killing her greatest songs and replacing them with these reggaetton garbage I would've been very disappointed. However, there are parts where you can tell she's trying so hard to speak with Spaniard accent and it's kinda irritating (she uses it in some sentences and then goes back to Colombian accent and then goes back to Spaniard within the same conversation) the good part of it is that includes clips such as of her rehearsing for the tour, with her family, and in the studio creating her new songs. this documentary is probably 40% of slow motion- close-up takes of her shaking her butt. she destroyed her greatest hits, she sang only part of her old school, most famous songs and decided to sing entirely her newest songs which I find unnecessary since her newest songs are repeatedly lyrics over and over (and let's be honest, majority of people like her old songs better) -she gave "underneath your clothes" (one of her greatest English songs lyrically speaking) some sort of a reggaetton twist and completely ruined the song.
This tour is almost identical as her previous tour, from the arrangements of the songs, dance/dance breaks, adlibs and little things that aren't supposed to be a choreography or be repeated for a tour that took her so long to plan, and I know this because I own her "Live from Paris" dvd and I've watched it enough times to notice the similarities between them. Reviewed by Lisaxfen 4 /10 Beyond disappointed Following the hugely successful release of her album El Dorado - which eventually earned her a Grammy for Best Latin Pop Vocal Album and a Latin Grammy for Best Contemporary Pop Vocal Album - Shakira returned to the world stage with her most celebrated show yet, performing recent smashes such as "Chantaje" and "La Bicicleta" as well as hits from her 20+ year repertoire including "Hips Don't Lie", "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)" and "Estoy Aqui", to sold out stadiums and. Now, she celebrates her triumphant return to the stage in 2018 with a thrilling concert film documenting her acclaimed El Dorado World Tour, to be shown in theaters worldwide this November. Since then, she has continued to break barriers and records around the world with her unique blend of Latin sounds, rock and roll, and world music. Shakira is a truly global superstar who, by the age of 18, had taken Latin America by storm, before conquering international markets at 24 with her crossover hit "Whenever Wherever".
