Slightly-disappointing-could-have-been-brilliant

Rating: 6/10 (26 September 2019)

After seeing the trailer to this movie in February, I thought "Man, this is going to be brilliant!". I counted the days until the movie was finally in a cinema near me. A few days before watching the actual movie, I came on this site reading some reviews, most of them were positive and people seemed to be amazed by the movie and the genious idea.
However, as always, there were some negative-ish comments saying that they were disappointed with how the idea got ruined in the romance. Reading that, I thought to myself that those people for sure don't like one-of-a-kind movies. Turns out, they were kind of right, well at least I think so.
Here's what I didn't like;
In the trailer it's shown that the Jack Malik is the only one to know about The Beatles (later it turns out he's not the only one), what triggered me, though, was that Coke, Harry Potter, Oasis were also "forgotten" but not mentioned later in the movie. Why couldn't it be justthe "The Beatles oblivion"?
Not one song lasted more than 15 seconds, which is sad, because let's face it- Anyone who came to see this film wanted to hear the wonderfully-brilliant sound that the legendary band created.
ANd of course, there has to be the romance part in every movie. Don't get me wrong, I loved Jack Malik (Himesh Patel) and Ellie (Lily James) together, their love was sweet, warm, but it's not the centre of the film, well, it shouldn't have been.
So, long story short, I did like it, it still is an interesting, unique movie that makes everybody laugh, smile and even cry a little bit. I don't regret watching it.
