Customer Reviews
Really really bad quality dvd makes movie unenjoyable
Don't bother with this one...wait for an official remastered-release(if they ever do it). This is just as bad as the day the BBC first aired this on Boxing day in black and white. I've seen this movie on VHS many years ago and I have the Beatles Anthology DVD with scenes from the movie, so I know what the picture quality of the movie should be. This DVD feels like an amateur pirated copy. The picture is so bright and fuzzy it washes out details and color.
I bought this movie for the wonderful visuals and the music of songs like"I am the Walrus" and "Your Mother Should Know". This movie is full of wonderful oddities that are a joy to see but they are very hard to appreciate when the quality of the picture is so poor.
historical value only, yet....
I had seen this many years ago so I knew what to expect - if you don't know, don't expect something like "A Hard Days Night". This is a very eccentric sales pitch for their new album at the time "Magical Mystery Tour". The credits list Ringo as the director of photography, and maybe it's true - but he's a better drummer and human being than either a director or photographer. Yet, there is much to appreciate in the historical content, and plenty to put a smile on the face of a fan. I was disappointed in the video quality, it was apparently taken from a well used and faded film. Plenty of scratches are visible, the colors are very faded, and scenes with the Beatles in white tuxes are terribly washed out. HOWEVER, if you already have everything else of theirs, you may yet enjoy some of this video. If nothing else, see where the band "Death Cab for Cutie" got their name.
Big Disappointment
The product I received was an obvious pirated copy. The cover was low quality, but more importantly, the DVD was very low quality. I think this was produced by someone filming the screen in a movie theater. The video was fuzzy and the sound was crummy. The only reason I give it a star is because it played. I was surprised to see this from Amazon, even though it came from a 3rd party vendor.
