I saw the preview for this movie back when “ONCE” was in the theater. I’ve been waiting for it’s release ever since. I finally made some time to go see it this week. I’m not a huge fan of musicals but only if it’s done right then I’m in. To be completely honest I didn’t hate the movie but it did lack a sense of direction, or should I say plot. I can’t speak for all Beatles fan’s but I would say that even if you are a Beatles fan the music was a bit over kill. They could have done with a bit less songs a little more plot line. None the less I did enjoy the movie, it didn’t make me want to walk out, which I’ve been known to do in the past. I read a review on a blog that pretty much sums it up click here.
The actors where great but I did walk out thinking Jim Sturgess really sounds a lot like Ewan McGregor in this movie. You can find the movie soundtrack on iTunes.
Wasn’t the plot supposed to be explained by how the songs were placed? That’s just my thought but defo understand the review.
I hate musicals. Well, the over the top ones. Moulin Rouge, Once and one’s like these I can deal with.
Visually some stunning shots and ideas. Obviously, two hours worth of amazing tunes. The Beatles man, now i know why my daddy, who was not fluent in english, used to boogie with me to them in the living room when i was like 4. Great memories then and now with this music.
A friend over in Ohio went to see this last night and although she said it was a little over ambitious the actual movie was ok aand of course the music is superb. Will have to check it out.
