Summary: How 'bout a nice cuppa tea?
Review: Thoroughly mindblowingly brilliant, as in almost all things the Fab Four did. Five stars if only for the performance of "I Am the Walrus" ("No You're Not!" Said Little Nicola) and the off-kilter eccentricities of the Men of the Century (Liverpool edition). Play LOUD and take with lots and lots of tea. And biscuits. It'll all make perfect sense, if you are ready and willing. Otherwise, better not to worry about it. God bless the Beatles and all those who sail with them.

Summary: Lovely! Lovely show!
Review: Truely Oscar winning performance by John,Paul,Ringo, and George! If you must have a plot with every movie then this isn't your cup of tea but if you're into zanny, mad-cap, "where the heck did that come from?" humor then this is the movie for you! Paul is absolutely gorgeous on "Fool On The Hill" and George is hilarious in "Blue Jay Way"! This was my first Beatle movie to see and I fell over laughing many times! I still find something new to laugh at everytime I see it. A must for all Beatle lovers and anyone looking for an off the wall kinda film. P.S.- You must watch Paul's face at the end of the song "Your Mother Should Know"..sober? I think not..*wink* *wink*

Review: This is one of the Beatles' best kept secrets. If you don't understand it, don't try, it won't make sense. But if you know whats going on, you won't be dissappointed. I highly recommend this movie (for some).

Summary: An Innovative Masterpiece
Review: This film is by all means an art film.There is less emphasis on things like plot and theme and more emphasis on production,camera shots,humor and of course the music videos.Some of the visual effects are awesome as well.The best videos are Fool On The Hill,Flying,I Am The Walrus and Blue Jay Way.This film looks like a bunch of great scenes pilled on to each other and thats the down fall of MMT.The scenes pop up suddenly without an explanation.This makes the film to short (55 min). I think if they had more footage of John and George it would be better too.But its still a great film in the art sense. There are also 2 extra songs= They are orchestral performances of She Loves You and All My Loving.

Summary: Insane!
Review: Someone hit it right on the head when they said: "It doesn't make much sense, but that's why it's great!" That IS the point. It was about destroying plot in a movie. It was meant to be a movie of interesting and funny part that were only very loosely connected. People who don't understand this totally fail to understand the Beatles or the sixties in general. It was meant to be a creative, interesting, funny movie. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to its promise. It was so impropmtu that the acting wasn't brilliant and some of the skits weren't too funny. The kind of person you are will determine how you react to the various. The camera work and directing could have been better. It could have been a masterpiece, but ended up being an innovative (but sometimes weird to the point of boring) film by a bunch of amateurs. It is essential because of its music, its humor, the fact that it contains the first music videos, its ideas, and the fact that we get to see the Beatles goofing around at the height of their powers. P.S.: The music videos for "I am the walrus" and "Blue Jay Way" are outstanding.

Summary: Ms. Winters, Ms. Winters, Ms. Winters....
Review: This is a totally underappreciated piece of filmmaking. The opening magical mystery tour montage is worthy of any art film. and, that midget was very cool. But, what is perhaps the best bit of the film (come to think of it, there are two) the bit with the spaghetti and i am the walrus. those two things are reasons enough for you to buy this treat for the eyes. just make sure to look not to your left but to your right when you watch this bizarre wonder that is MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR. ps: the dream bit is also great because you see Ms. Winters in a brassiere. Oh, mercy.

Summary: And the Magical Part Is . . . ?
Review: Before I even begin this review, I just want to say that I am one of the big Beatlemaniacs. I love their music and their movies. Well, until I saw this one. While I appreciate the Beatles' odd sense of humor, I could not appreciate whatever it was that they were attempting to do in this video. It's short, it's confusing, and it wasn't worth the price paid. My best recommendation here is to borrow it from a friend who has a copy first before making this choice. I know now that is what I should have done.

Summary: to Beatles fans:
Review: First, if you're not a true Beatles fan, this is not a film you should be looking for. But, if you are a fan of the Beatles, please note: the music on this video-tape (I don't know about the DVD) is a unique mix, and sounds very different (and much better) from the MMT cd. For instance, there is an additional cello overdub on this version of Blue Jay Way. Also, instead of the tinny "fake stereo" effect on the second half of Walrus, this version has it in full mono, a GREAT improvement! All of the other songs are also considerably different on these special video mixes. A true Beatle fan will want these special remixes in their music library, no matter what they think of the video itself. What do I think of the video itself? For me, it's a chance to see the actual Beatles in 1967, walking, talking, interacting, dancing. That is pretty rare, as they made few appearances that year. However, here is precious little merit to the actual film; the dialog(?) is poor, there is little humor, and John and George seem very bored. But, as has been said so many times, it's the only place to see Walrus, and the Flying and Your Mother Should Know sequences are quite good as stand alone videos. Fool on the Hill is innoculous; Blue Jay Way is tedious. That's as videos, though. Better to just close your eyes and enjoy the best mix of this music you're ever likely to hear.

Summary: don't miss it
Review: This is the best Beatles movie it makes a lot of sense and all fans need to roll up to it and let it take you away. It's truely amazing and the most like yellow Submarine as far as the fact that every time you rewind you see something that wasn't there the last time. Fool on the hill is the realest part and flying will get you. A must have for anyone interested in the beatles psycadelic era that describes the reasons behind Sgt. pepperes Lonly Harts Club Band Album.
