Rating: Summary: G. Giuliano's 4 easy steps to "create" a biography! Review: A "Raspberry" is an award given each year to the worst or most lame film - this could not even fit into that class. Film schools produce pieces that are beyond the loftiest peaks of this 'film'! The following paragraph perfectly sums up one's perception on the maker (G.Guiliano) of this project: - "The host is so obsessed with them that it becomes scary. You feel like you are watching a home video tribute done by a stalker; producer/director Geoffrey Giuliano." I've read 2 other books of biographical content by Mr. Giuliano and you get this notion that sources for his material came from eavesdropping on teenage pajama parties! Apart from the process for gaining the material for this project, this is an amateurish newsreel like "pin the tail on the donkey" edit job and torture test! If it were not for the subject, this would not have made it out of the basement in the first place!
Rating: Summary: A ROUND OF PIES FOR THIS VIDEO Review: As an inveterate, long term Beatles fan, it was only natural that I would want to view this video. Needless to say, I was highly displeased with the quality (or lack thereof) and Mr. Guiliano's long established career of smearing the Beatles. Mr. Guiliano is not well loved among the Beatle literati and this video will certainly help explain the reason for this.The interviews are lackluster; the filming quality is poor. Take the advise of all the other reviews and skip this one. Watch the Beatles First U.S. Visit, a Beatles' film or any other Beatles' related video instead.

Rating: Summary: In my honest opinion, the worst Beatles DVD in existence Review: Beatles-Celebration? There is nothing further from the truth with this DVD. Let me first of all say Im a huge Beatles fan and this DVD looks like it was made in someone's garage. Literally. The host is so obsessed with them (even wearing the Nehru jackets and following the ISKCON/Hindu guru ideals...coincedence?)that it becomes scary. You almost feel like you are watching a home video tribute..done by a stalker. The DVD shows very poor quality interviews. Yes, I mean "look ma, Im on home video" quality. Horrific. In fact, I don't even think that the DVD even uses Beatles music at all. Kinda ironic when you call the DVD a CELEBRATION and it's regarding a MUSIC group. Stay far away. Stay very far away. I quickly wrapped this package up after one horrible viewing and returned it. Learn from my mistake. Please.
Rating: Summary: Beatles Celebration Review: Garbage-- don't waste your money on this one lads. The only yucks out of this video were those provided by the narrator's phony British accent. Might I recommend Yellow Sub if your in the mood for a little of the Fab Four.
Rating: Summary: Not bad! Review: Geoffery Guiliano makes it his life to put out as much as he can about the life of The Beatles. I enjoyed the DVD because I like Geoffery and I think his enthusiasm shows when he talks about his passion, The Beatles. There currently is no other DVD with what is presented here. The clips have been previously released but not on DVD. Soon the Beatles Anthology will be released on DVD, but even some of the stuff on this DVD is not currently on The VHS version of The Beatles Anthology. You have to see it for what it is. It is not officially authorized by The Beatles and states that there is no music by The Beatles on it. If you want to hear Beatles music while watching it then "put it on"! I am sure you have a CD player, put it on, man! To sum it up, I liked it! Buy it!
Rating: Summary: GOOD VALUE GREAT FUN Review: Here is a no-nonsense look at the Fab Four which is well produced, well written and narrated by the world's acknowledged expert on the group. This one's a real keeper which myself and my friends have watched over and over.
Rating: Summary: Horrible Review: I can't believe this DVD was actually released. Throughout the whole thing, not one note of Beatles music is played. NOT EVEN ONE TINY NOTE! It's all silly classical music and no Beatles are heard. After I saw this movie, I thought, "This is junk!" I mean, even I could make a Beatles documentary better than that, and I'm only in junior high! I've seen Beatles documentaries before, like the First US Visit and all the movies, like "A Hard Day's Night," "Yellow Submarine," etc. But THIS is just horrible, absolutely horrible. Honestly, don't waste your time with it.
Rating: Summary: Not as good as expected Review: I expected this DVD to be packed with Beatles songs and a history of the Beatles. Instead it walks through each of thier lives while they were Beatles explaining what it was they did. A bad DVD. The only good stuff is a few comments and some footage in the movie and the Additional footage they had of the Beatles coming home to the UK from the US. DO NOT rent this DVD it is a waste of your rental spot no matter if you get 3 or 8 DVD's at a time. It also came from San Jose which means that people like me in Minneapolis and people East of Minneapolis will have to wait a while for this movie that is not worth it. Skip this rental.
Rating: Summary: Buy it only if you're a Beatles fan Review: I have to tell you - if this movie wasn't talking about such great band as The Beatles, I wouldn't say you should buy it. Even so, this item, I think, is only for collectors. I must admit: that's not a good movie, not a bad one, but not something you should keep. Bottom line, I advice you to buy it only if you're a Beatles fan, like myself. If not, good for you to choose something else.
