Rating: Summary: EL Magical Mystery Tour de Paul Review: Más allá de la gran música de este film, ni la perspectiva del tiempo lo salva. Lo más flojo que hizo Paul como solista, junto al LP McCartney II, es ésta película.
Quizá para demostrar que nadie es perfecto.
Rating: Summary: Glad to have it on DVD Review: It ain't the best movie ever made, but it ain't the worst.Two big mistakes McCartney made with this project: 1) re-recording old songs (including a half-dozen Beatle tunes), instead of writing all new material (only three new songs were used) 2) writing the screenplay himself, instead of hiring an experienced screenwriter to flesh out his idea. I can't think of a reason why a non-McCartney fan would want to watch this. If you are a fan, then there's worse ways to spend a couple hours. But really, it's hard to say anything specifically good about this movie. It's hard for me to believe that Macca never realized that the story was so under-developed and unimaginative. For such a creative person, he seems to have set out write the most boring story he could. That's why I consider it a mistake to use old songs-- he could've at least let the movie coast along on the strength of all new material. I didn't see this in theaters 20 years ago. I can understand why people were so dissapointed. While there's nothing special about the film, it is far from the biggest disaster ever committed to celluloid.
