Stylish but barely mediocre overall

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Dear Black Sabbath, this DVD was great. The interviews interwoven into the concert were a bit of a distraction. But I'll take it. Bill Ward was really pounding those drums. He was so energetic. Geezer Butler still has that rhythm, I liked the way he moved on the stage. Tony Iommi looked a bit self conscious at times. Ozzy Osbourne was unfit as hell. He kept jumping up and down. Calling the crowd bastards. His voice was pretty OK for such an old man. I liked the way the crowd reacted when Children of the Grave began. It was terrific. There were quite a few mosh pits forming during that song. Best Regards, Pimpin. (8/10)

This movie would have been alright, indeed probably excellent, if the directors would have left the interviews and the concert footage separate. "Into the Void" is a great song, and I hate how it is cut off at the best part to go to an mumbling interview with Ozzy Osbourne. That should have been at the end of the film, or located in a special feature. The best part of concert DVDs is to put them on and let the music play, but "Black Sabbath: The Last Supper" is hard to put and and simply let play because the music is continually interrupted. Nevertheless, there are a few strengths to this film; the concert footage, when it does play, it excellent. Black Sabbath returns to the stage after a long hiatus without Osbourne and this film captures that well: Sabbath basically rocks the fans. The fans, of course, have a sweet advantage in the film because they are seeing the band live, of course, but also they do not have to put up with the incessant interviews that the DVD viewers are burdened with. Shame on Jeb Brien and Monica Hardiman (the directors) for doing this to the film! Also, shame on Wyatt Smith for editing the film in such a way.

This had the potential to be a nice document of the reunited Ozzy-era Black Sabbath, with solid concert footage, and some insightful interviews. However, the mixing of the two ruins both. The producers chose to splice the live music with the interviews, which completely ruins the cohesiveness of the concert. It seems like every guitar solo is overwritten with an interview second. Quite a shame that some overzealous wanna-be filmmaker would ruin this. It's also a shame that there isn't an option on the DVD that would let the user turn off the interview portion, so that the concert would play straight thru. C'mon, isn't stuff like that s'posed to be one of the DVDs main selling points?

Black Sabbath were pioneers on the hard rock/metal scene if only for their hard edged riffs and solos drenched in the darkness of thought. Iommi, Ward, Butler and Ozzy himself return to the concert stage and this footage takes place over the stretch of concerts they had on the Ozzfest tour. Intercut are interviews and just footage of the four talking like the camera isn't even there which also brings interest. Could've gone wrong if the music wasn't fresh anymore and tiffs still went on in the band, but this now isn't the case, even Bill Ward has it in himself to play, all this through long hard drugships (inparticular Ozzy who gives an ironical joke in a way- I should be dead!). For Sabbath and Ozzy fans the treat of the season, and for other general rock fans a glimpse into a brilliant old British group whose roots date back to the late 60's. A
