cross out the universe

Rating: 1/10 (17 September 2007)

I was ready to get up and leave after 10 minutes of this overdone pretentious piece of garbage. As someone who was part of this historical moment of our history I was put off by Taymor's so called vision. Hey I love musicals as much as the next person, but this this thing was dead on arrival. I didn't even find it visually arresting and what Taymor and the actor's did to the great Beatles music is a crime. I hated most of the scenes, the performances and the script, and it saddens me that the younger generation is going to take this fantasy as fact which is really a shame. So finally after nearly 2 hours of this torture, I left.
