I have enjoyed all of Chris Rocks' specials having watched them all several times both on TV and DVD but this one is just plain annoying.Rock performs in three different locations during his tour, London, New York and Johannesburg and the producers saw fit to emphasise this with horrible editing that hammers it home by constantly switching the footage between the three locations. (Note to producers - you told us at the start of the DVD that it was the most successful comedy tour in the history of the world, we are capable of remembering this fact for ourselves without the constant reminders. In actual fact, I didn't care how successful the tour was, I just wanted to watch a Chris Rock stand up comedy DVD and have a laugh).If you haven't watched this yet I want to warn you that it is very, very distracting. Rock is wearing a different outfit at each location and the sound quality varies so you are halfway through a joke and the footage switches and becomes quieter and I ended up thinking more about how much the outfit and sound changes were irritating me than whether I found the jokes funny.The jokes themselves are not up to his own high standards set by the other specials and I think Chris Rock is starting the believe the hype and get big headed, hence less work on the material.The crowds at the three locations (remember that there were three locations in case you had forgotten since I last mentioned it) all seemed to be rolling in the aisles but I believe that they had all been drinking at the bar prior to the show and were just happy to be watching Chris Rock live rather than paying attention to what he was actually saying, which wasn't much.I give this show 3 out of 10 because I just didn't laugh much. I love stand up comedy and have many DVDs by a variety of different comedians and am easy to entertain but this just made me go 'meh'.Unfortunately, I am unlikely to watch this again.Chris Rock, please don't get involved with the hype and how much everyone 'loves' you. I know you've made your money and that you probably care less than when you started out on your career as you are now rich but if this will be the standard of your output for the future then please call it a day.

As far as stand up comedy goes, Chris Rock is right there among the best of the entertainers practicing this form. This concert, recorded in three different locations has some excellent moments. Mr. Rock's delivery is always impeccable. He pokes fun at everyone. No one is spared his wit, or his irreverent approach to whatever he has in mind.In many ways Chris Rock reminds us of the late George Carlin, one of the best exponents of the genre. Like Carlin, this young comedian shows he has an amazing talent in poking fun of everything. He speaks his mind in ways that others wouldn't do, but he is never obnoxious. Mr. Rock is an original, being in films, or in a concert venue. He proves he is one of the best comic minds around.Directed at a non-stop pace by Marty Callner, the comedian delivers at such a quick pace, that he surprises his viewers with all the funny stuff he has for the audience. One could only imagine what it was probably like being in the audience at the Apollo theater, or the other venues. Mr. Rock has a boundless energy and a talent and speed to match his intelligent approach to comedy.

The editor of this special was so consumed with splicing footage and seamlessly meshing shows that he or she, in my opinion, got in the way of the act. Chris Rock deserves a special focused on Chris Rock the way George Carlin's specials focused only on George Carlin. This special had too much going on. The editing tangled feet with the punchlines. The outfit changes were jarring, as I found myself missing the jokes because I was too busy saying, "Now he's wearing a shiny jacket," or, "Now he's in Brooklyn." Not to mention the sound quality was noticeably different, especially when jokes were spliced together. It was all just so unnecessary. I would like to see Kill The Message from one stage, with one audience. But don't take my word for it. Watch it yourself.

I would like my personal time back. I have very much enjoyed his first specials but this is just... sigh.The adventure begins somewhere in the world where he performed. In between 3 filming locations and constant editing and cutting in and out I feel dizzy. He wore 3 different costumes and by time his special was over I had bloodshot eyes not because I was tired but because there was 0 consideration for viewers when they filmed this thing.Jokes themselves. Well of course he is commenting on race, that was his "thing" in all specials. Except that this time I feel he ran out of content. His jokes got racial"er" and dry"er" than ever before. His reputation of progressive black person/men will probably be stripped because of his foul language. To me it almost looked like he was dropping f bombs not because they were relevant but because he had nothing else to say.I gave this a 4 out of 10 with reference of watching it today again just to make sure that this special was bad. This time I am going to watch this and try to understand any of his jokes for 2nd time. Last night while watching I do not recall myself even smirking once while I was dying laughing listening to his other comedy specials.
