Terrible by Daisy Black (Tampa, FL)  1 Stars
October 31, 2009
Terrible. This movie was TERRIBLE. If it was just a musical about the sixties, that would be one thing. But as someone who holds the music of The Beatles so dearly, I was appalled. Pretty much sums it up.

I LOVED it!!! by lizykat (Portland, OR)  5 Stars
October 11, 2009
Just scanning a few of the reviews...they all said it very well. Bottom line, I am ready to buy the movie and also for good measure the soundtrack so I have options. It was creative, fun, and just when it got to be a bit much..they broke into a fab song..what more could you ask??

Awesome Movie by Crystal Velasquez (Georgia, US) 5 Stars
October 05, 2009
This movie is awesome, from the actors to the song choices and everything in between. I love the Beatles and most all of their songs and felt that using the songs to guide a story along just made sense. Although these songs can't replace the originals, some of them are almost just as good. Plus, adding blu-ray to this movie only adds to the quality.

Horrid! by Colan Simpson (Lakewood, CO USA) 1 Stars
September 26, 2009
This movie is almost not even worth reviewing! This abomination of a film has ruined all that I love of the Beatles. The whole thing sounds and looks like a bunch of high school drama drop-outs on valium singing and acting to standardized situatioins and backdrops of every 60's anti-protest, anti-Vietnam image/visual stereotype you can possibly imagine! The only parts bareable within were Bono's and Eddie Izzard's cameos...but you know why they were good?...because they are talented! On top of all that, they respect what the Beatles represent and still do to this day! I'm sorry for all the Beatles' fans out there that loved this movie, but it really just made me feel ashamed and embarrassed. This movie was made already with a better message and a better crew a few years back, and without disgracing itself with the Beatles as propoganda ("Forest Gump" ring a bell anyone?) This movie is a mockery of everything good in the Beatles, the generation, and good taste in film-making!
