Plot: Set against the anti-war protests, rock & roll revolution, and mind-expanding psychedelia of the 1960s, Julie Taymor's hallucinogenic musical follows the arduous journey of star-crossed lovers Jude (Jim Sturgess) and Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood) as they and a small group of musicians are swept up in the raging waters of the volatile counterculture movement. Guided through their journey by a pair known only as Dr. Robert (Bono) and Mr. Kite (Eddie Izzard), Jude and Lucy are eventually forced to find their way back to one another after being split apart by powerful forces beyond their control. The music in the film consists exclusively of songs made popular by the Beatles during the time period depicted in the movie. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Terrible
Added 10/31/2009

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!!!

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
Added 10/5/2009

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!
Added 9/26/2009

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!
