I really liked the documentary. I could just sit and watch the studio and behind the scenes footage endlessly. I sure wish there was more of it shown.

"“Oh I’d make a lot of money!” said Freddie. His memory is still making lots of money for half of Queen, who have turned into their own grizzled tribute band. The vocals are performed by a howling pink-haired avatar in a coronet."
So true!

Finally found the time to watch it and really, I must have seen half the footage before, if not a more than half of it. VERY disappointing in that respect.
Does anyone remember the fan-produced NOTW doco that someone made a year or so back. THAT had a lot of the material that's in "Rock The World".
Crystal said they shot 100's of hours of footage, so where is it all?
And at Convention a few years ago, GB said the when QPL moved to Universal/Island, EMI handed over 4000 tapes of Queen material. (I'm sure he said 4000). That obviously doesn't include what's in DoRo's archive.

Just found this article on the NOTW box set and it mentions the listing of the CDs and such. It gives info on the included DVD and I think it's different to the TV broadcast, although I'm not 100% sure: http://www.queenonline.com/news/press-release-news-of-the-world-40th-anniversary-edition
"Queen : The American Dream (One hour)
01 Back Into The Studio
02 We Will Rock You / We Are The Champions
03 Taking Control
04 Sheer Heart Attack
05 The American Tour
06 It's Late
07 Spread Your Wings
08 My Melancholy Blues
09 Get Down, Make Love
10 We Are The Champions"
So here's to hoping the DVD contains a different documentary and potentially more unseen footage!

That's what I said. The 7 hours of material, which Rhys talked about, must be a kind of edit or so from all the reels
Perhaps GARY TAYLOR can help us with this mistery if he allowed to talk about this. Gary come in...

By all accounts he'd pissed Greg Brooks off and had nothing to do with the project.

too bad. But once he stated on REDIT he was in the team of QP when they located the reels. So he must know a bit of the portion they found or any other details.

Enjoyable doc. Was nice to see new interview footage too. I cringed when they stuck footage with Lambert on at the end though.

Even professional journalists are pointing out what's wrong with this documentary, some of their views are very similar to those expressed here.
Though it is a harsh example, here is a good review but basically slagging off the documentary:

OK, this part is pretty funny

Actually I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of huge stuff. I'm not sure about the interviews, I don't know what was available officially, but the rest? Bob Harris talking to the crowd during the WATC video shoot, clips of the afterconcert, (what was it - Liar?), the tour rehearsal footage we could see only on the 2011 exhibition and bits we haven't seen before, longer clip of recording WATC, recordings of It's Late and My Melancholy Blues (BBC versions? They didn't seem to perfectly match the audio), Queen at the Omni, (actually just the audience), lots of Houston clips, arrival at the venue, dressing room chat before the gig, going to stage, the same WWRY clips we have seen in 2011 but this time not cropped to 16:9, clips from the Bob Harris view of Get Down Make Love, 39 and one unknown song, a clip from the NTSC video which is missing from the best copies (the whistle part), footage of Queen leaving the stage and following them backstage their banter after the show.... Tons of stuff I never have seen before

Bob Harris reminded me of that geography teacher who was desparate to be hip and down with the kids, and Brian and Freddie in particular reminded me of kids not entirely comfortable around him...

I think it would be virtually impossible to create a documentary that made sense yet didn't include a good chunk of material not already seen by the likes of Queenzone members
I thought it was packed with new stuff, but then I've not even watched Houston....

The Telegraph gave it 4 out of 5 stars review, so overall the documentary is nicely done. If one of the reviews (Box-set reviews) got things right then we will see more Houston clips in the DVD version

Say you have around 7 hours of material , it is possible to have unseen stuff don't you think...?
I found the houston QP stuff very blurry. Is the Version on Queenzone better?
