Don't bother!

Rating: 1/10 (11 July 2019)

I ma a big fan of the Beatles, have loved their music since I was a teenager in the early sixties. Richard Curtis and Danny Boyle have taken the Beatle's fantastic music and put it into a weak, charmless, excrutiating 100 minutes of drivel.
If only the Odeon cinema had rerun 'A Hard Day's Night', Richard Lester's first and easily the best film built around the early music of the most famous band in history. Curtis is smaltz, but Boyle, I expected better as it was on his name got me to the cinema. The story was awful, the main actor was awful, all of it was just awful. Then when I thought it couldn't get any worse, Robert Carlyle appears as the forgotten John Lennon, hard to explain the story but let us just say John never reached fame with the Beatles and was a reclusive artist living on a beach painting seascapes......Poor Lennon and Harrison will be turning in their graves...Apple, McCartney, Starr, Ono and Harrison's widow will rue the day they allowed this tosh to go to the screen.
If there were ever to be a Beatles reunion in Heaven, allowing this movie to be released will have scuppered it's chances.
