A melodramatic sad excuse for a musical

Rating: 1/10 (23 November 2007)

This movie had little to no transitions, was extremely melodramatic, contained mediocre at best Beatles covers that sound like they should be on a two dollar Christmas album at Wal-Mart. Save your time, people are raving how great this movie is but the funny thing happens to be that all the people that are so in love with it are also billionaires that can waste money on a daily basis. In most films fake British accents don't bother me all that much but after twenty minutes of "Across The Universe" I was ready to burst into tears. I think it was best put by a simple man of our time and he says that "People today are still living off the table scraps of the sixties. They are still being passed around- the music and the ideas." Bob Dylan (1992)It's far too true, everyday I see a teenager wearing an already faded Abbey Road shirt, America is dying due to the fact that every child claims that classic rock bands like The Beatles are the ultimatum to music and that they are individual because they listen to a band as complex as The Beatles this anticipated release of "Across The Universe" was merely a trip across your dad's LP collection except with bad vocal talent and little pictures to look at, if you're really in the mood for "The Beatles" go get an actual Beatles album and enjoy.
