Beatles stay away from this movie

Rating: 1/10 (16 May 2013)

As a Beatles admirer, fan, and friend, I totally dislike this movie. The reason I was attracted to it was because of the name, "Across The Universe". A very catchy phrase even for a movie. To begin with, the Beatles songs were terribly performed by young musicians who play them automatically, with no soul, hunger, or passion. The putrid interpretation of a Jimi Hendrix on guitar and vocals by Janis Joplin to Oh Darling, really upsets my regularity. But, of course, I could say the same about every other song in this movie. Oh, and the accents, please give me a break. I would like to tell the producers of this movie that this is a profanation of The Beatles memory in the name of profiteering!
