This is what a documentary produced by chatgpt would be. Absolutely no soul and it's actually hurting my ears listening to the documentary as I type.
It's purely a rehash of what anyone would find on Wikipedia interspersed with some standard footage of the band.
There's no behind the scenes footage or interviews, no insight into what drives the band or how they've stayed together for so long.
The narrator is completely wrong for the subject matter, and American for an Irish band. I'm a big fan of U2 but they can't surely have agreed to this rubbish.
I've switched off after 40 minutes because it pains me so much to see such a poorly put together pierce of work for such a good band.
Shame.

Plot summary
A cliche start: 4 teenage boys form a rock band in the drummer's kitchen. 45 years, 14 albums, 24 concert tours, 22 Grammies. U2 raises millions to fight hunger, disease and poverty. Music transcends melody. It means mission.

Absolutely shockingly bad
Music and Politics dont mix well
U2 are an excellent band with some great music. But it is clear to most people that Bono used that as a political platform to harang people with a message that is at best progressive and at worst virtue signalling. I do not understand how some famous people think that they have any understanding of the complexities of human life as if they are something special. I found Bono's social justice campaigns to be a total bore that showed his shallowness and superficiality and a waste of his immense talent - he should have listened to Mick Jagger etc. And just stayed out of it. Or better still make massive anonymous donations to those doing the work and encourage others to do so too.
