As a v new fan I found the film really interesting, I learned a lot and have even more respect for them now.

Anyone who wants to understand this cultural phenomenon largely underestimated and misrepresented by mainstream media should give this movie a try if they can.

The amount of effort they put to show the best to the world, is something that is barely seen nowadays when artists only care about money and so little for their public. The movie shows how genuine they are, and the struggles they face as young men who skyrocketed to fame when they just wanted to make music for the world to heal.

Definitely will see again

As a fan I suppose I would enjoy any film about BTS, but this film really goes beyond expectations. It's shot beautifully, telling an emotional narrative of BTS's success and the subsequent expectations that they feel pressured to fill. The film is bookmarked into sections (ocean, desert) with an anonymous narrator to explain which adds another dimension to this 'typical singer' documentary. The honest reflections from the group, the melancholic narration and the orchestral versions of BTS songs playing over concert montages make this a wonderful viewing experience. If you're not a fan of BTS, or a fan of music documentaries in general, I think this could still be a film you can take something from.

Not because it's BTS, anyone that has seen the struggles of any of your favorite artists to start from the bottom it's very heartwarming. I recommend! Even if you aren't a fan of theirs, this will give you an idea of how much dedication BTS puts in their music.

I've seen my fair share of music/concert documentaries, but Burn The Stage is a cut above the rest. It's not a black & white documentation of their success, but more of a complex diary entry. It felt as though the audience was reading an insert of BTS- as if all the members became one person- where he was spilling his deepest thoughts and insecurities. The director did well in inciting a spectrum of emotions. The movie had its fair share of tribulations and well-timed humor.

What was refreshing was the lack of the 'woe is me' trope. Yes, their lives are hard (they were very candid in telling the audience that), but they never once said they regretted the path they took nor that they took their support for granted. I don't think the movie goes a sold 5 minutes straight where they aren't thanking or mentioning, ARMY, their fans.

They are extremely humble, caring, funny, and compassionate young men. I hope to see more from them in the future.

This was the best documentary I have ever seen. It was a full package: funny, sad, and powerful. After seeing the movie you can't help but feel for the boys and become even greater fans for the group. It was the most interesting documentary and I would love to see it again.

I love this movie! I believe its the perfect movie to introduce the members and what they're going through in their concert. There were moments that made me cry, even more that made me laugh. It was well made, the transitions were smooth. It also felt more personal. I would definitely watch it again

This movie is an extended version of the YouTubeRed series Burn The Stage but even if you have already watched the series you'll definitely not want to miss this! The movie has a totally different feel to it, new interviews and 90% of the movie is unreleased footage. I liked that they added the members voices as a voiceover throughout parts of the movie.

The movie was amazing and you'll get to see a new side to BTS as they reveal their hardships, but also friendship, to the world. Surprisingly the movie was a lot more positive than the series... you'll definitely laugh A LOT!

And if you're not a fan of BTS (yet) I hope you'll give them a chance.. This movie is a great way to be introduced to the members and their bond as the world's most popular boy band atm. You'll get the chance to see what all the hype is about!

Their dedication to the music is UNBELIEVEABLE and you'll definitely fall down the rabbit hole like the rest of us ARMYs.

I really loved the movie! However, I am a big BTS fan. If you aren't a fan u might still enjoy it but i don't think you'll get the full experience. The pacing was a little odd and while it was nice to see the backstage moments I wish they had shown at least one of their songs. The members were their naturally funny selves so it wasn't hard for me to watch but my non fan friends wanted to have at least some action in the form of a concert song.

This was an emotional journey from start to finish. The clips, music, narration and production were all amazing. I went to see it twice and wish it would be in theatres longer to watch it again. BTS and Big Hit never let us down.

I'm a fan (aka army) of BTS, so no doubt I would love something with BTS in it. But I was disappointed after the movie. First of all, the camera is shaky so if you're in the front row it's hard to see and if international it's hard to see and read subtitles. I thought the movie would show BTS's struggles and happiness, of each individual. Like what they're life is without the concerts and the cameras. How they are with their family, loved ones and others. The movie just was entirely about their concert from 2017 and some little clips of them back in No More Dream Era and Billboard music awards. Just all the same stuff that all fans have seen, same clips and memorable sayings. From start to finish, all the clips... yes I have seen before. Hopefully later on or after their career a movie or documentary will grab more on depth of their lives, the real life because we all know that they aren't just 7 guys in a band that have shared most of their youth together; they are real people.

I love BTS but was very disappointed in the movie. It was like they pieced together whatever was left from the Youtube series and put some cheesy narration behind it. It did not showcase the members and their personalities well at all. I brought people with me unfamiliar with BTS and they left unimpressed. The music did not sound good. Management just seems like they are trying to make whatever money they can now and know fans will buy anything with BTS' name on it at this point. My 7 year old loves BTS but she left disappointed as well. Really poorly done overall.

This movie was amazing but was Taehyung even in it? #Taedeservesbetter

What a great documentary. It really shows how hard BTS works bur also how down to earth, nice and funny they are.Also i just found out they broke the record for highest grossing event cinema musical production which was set by one direction in 2014, which is amazing.

Even if you aren't a fan of BTS, you can definitely learn something from these boys. This movie showcases the incredible amount of hard work they put in daily to achieve their goals, but it also exhibits how little they take their success for granted, with the underlying message of perseverance in the face of adversity or uncertainty and the importance of gratitude. Bangtan's admirable passion and dedication to every single performance or song that they do is obvious throughout, however it is also painfully clear how aware they are of the temporariness of fame and fortune. Even with these emotional thoughts in mind, the hilarious one liners, especially from Yoongi and Jin, left me and half the audience in tears of laughter as well as those from sadness as we left the cinema.

This movie literally opened my eyes why so many people love them. My daughter and I watched it and let me just say. I am glad my daughter is a fan of them.. they are so humble and so talented. I am happy I was introduced to them Thank you to BTS and their fans .. You have changed how I see boybands and fandoms alike... They were very respectful I might just start being a BTS fan

As an ARMY who went to the WINGS Tour in 2017, knowing the behind the scenes of the tour only makes me so much more grateful for BTS. They truly do give their all every single time, they're incredible human beings. Burn The Stage will surely stand out as a time capsule of some of the happiest moments of my youth. The bond we ARMYs have with BTS is unbreakable, fate decided this bond, this bond that holds us together like grapes on their vines.

Hello! Non-fan of BTS here! My friend is a huge fan of BTS and asked me to come along with him to the showing. I've heard of BTS before because of the AMAs and BBMAs but I never listened to their music before.

Before watching this, I was curious in knowing what the whole buzz was about in regards to the band. I was curious as to why so many people enjoyed them and I had gotten my answer through this movie. It was such an endearing movie and it really showed a side of artists that we don't normally get to see. I saw them juggle and deal with pressures and expectations that came from their career skyrocketing and this movie showed me how sweet and gracious this group was. I also felt there was a sense of sincerity, and overall sense of humbleness while I was watching them.

To any non-fans wondering if they should watch this movie, I HIGHLY recommend that you should if you're able to. Am I a fan of BTS? No, but this movie did make me appreciate them more, and I'll definitely be checking out some of their music.

Durasi nya kurang panjang..hehe bgm nya mantap, please bighit release that sea orchestra version.. i love it so much

The documentary recounts the path they took as a group to get to their fame of today. The amount of work they put into each and every performance is insanity and can their level of exhaustion can be plainly felt through the screen. Absolutely recommend watching this especially if you're a fan!

As a huge BTS fan, I found this movie very underwhelming. I need more than just the same type of content copy-pasted for 1 hour and 28 minutes, which I felt this was. This movie was purely to make money of of the fans and left me with nothing. Sure it was semi-sentimental at times, but I wish they had had more of behind the scene content, not just 90% badly filmed on stage footage with poor sound. Only parts that were worth the money was Jin's funny parts and Yoongi drinking wine, which was a whole mood.

Bon Voyage and Run BTS is still available to watch for free and more worthy of your time.

It was amazing and the director did a great job. A emotional rollecoaster. I would watch this again and again....if i could!

Time doesn't really determine how strong of a connection you make with someone or something, and this is no different. I've only been a fan for a little under a year, but this movie had the same impact as it would've if I'd been a fan for years and years. The narration, camerawork, and structure of the film was poetic and intimate. The 85 minutes flew by in a warm, quiet in which we laughed when the boys made dumb jokes, watched in loving admiration as we saw little snippets of them performing onstage, saw closeups of them as they reflected on the recent past (their performances or rehersals) and the far past (like their come-up), and cooed over Kim Taehyung's dog, Yeontan (the highlight of the movie!) When the movie ended and the screen went black and the lights turned on, no one got up from their seat for a bit, all of us looking around in a "Is it really over?" sort of way because it was like being pulled out of a dream and it felt so *short* despite so much happening. Not even the 8-episode docuseries that was released on Youtube Red could've prepared me for the flurry of emotions this movie brought, and I'm forever grateful for it. Here's to a long time! 10/10
