Nah, this ain't it

Rating: 3/10 (28 June 2019)

Why did I see this? I'm apart of the problem. They marketed the film towards Beatles fans,millennials etc and I took the bait. 99% of the humor in this film falls flat. They are base level observational, cringy, pandering to millenial humor. There were literally two jokes I laughed at and that was it. The characters are messily written especially Lily James character. She contradicted herself many times and made so many stupid and annoying decisons. Credit where credit she did do a good performance and had some good moments but they were few and far between. Jack is ok as the lead but his character motivation is all over the place. Without much spoliers he changes his stance on stealing the Beatles songs constantly and it's quite dumbfounding.
And that's ignoring the fact that he is such a bland and uninteresting chatcter. The story is literally like every other music biopic meets romance plot and is predictable at every turn. There are an incredible amount of plot holes and lack of narrative development. They didn't care if the story made sense at all. I honestly could go on forever but the last thing I want to mention is that Ed Sheeran wasn't that bad. He did an decent job, it's just that the material they gave him was terrible. I guess this isn't the worst movie I've seen by any stretch but please don't see this. Just see Parasite instead, at least this film made me realise how great that film was.
