Customer Reviews

Covers???
I crack up each time I read one of the reviews. "Garage cover bands", "remakes". Watch the movie, then buy the cd. It's like if you went to see a play. Of course the Beatles will forever hold the title as the best, but get the crap over yourselves. Enjoy the movie. They weren't "remaking" the Beatles' songs, they were using them to tell a love story. You wouldn't expect them to lip sync to the Beatles for the movie would you? That would just be dumb, guys singing to guys -- awesome. Whatever. They were telling a tale from the time period of the Beatles, on the subjects of their songs. The soundtrack and movie are wonderful and insightful. I only gave it 3 stars because the deluxe version is better.

Nice Collection of Beatles Covers
As a 50-year-old die hard Beatle fan, I'm a tough sell on Beatle covers. There are songs that I simply don't connect with at all. But there are some real good songs here-nice arrangements: Come Together-Joe Cocker, With A Little Help From My Friends, Flying, Hold Me Tight, I am the Walrus-Bono, Across the Universe, Revolution, Helter Skelter, Hey Jude and Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds-Bono alone is worth the price of the CD. It's a double set so it earns a 3 star. If you're a Beatles fan, it's a nice addition to your collection.

This film is incredible on many levels. I am a recent Beatles "afficianado" (I am ashamed to admit. This movie makes me wish I had started a LOT sooner). Wonderful film that I could watch over and over...
