Rating: Summary: not good at all Review: This dvd is funny. Not funny like entertaining funny. Like it seems like a joke. None of the music in it is by the beatles, probably becuase the beatles didn't authorize their music to be used on the film, or the filmakers didn't have enough money to get the rights to use the music. Also if you watch it you might notice that they never get to go into any of the buildings because they're not authorized to go into any private buildings. I was expecting concert footage and more fun and entertaining stuff but it was mostly press conference footage and a odd man wearing jeans and startrek suit trying to create metaphors and other crazy things about the beatles lives. I bought it and I wish that I hadn't.
Rating: Summary: Basically a man talking about the Beatles Review: This so-called Beatles Celebration is just the same as the Alf Bicknell DVD in that it's just a man talking about the Beatles with scant footage on them.These cheaply made DVD's just have the person standing in front of different spots("and here is Strawberry Fields")and talking.Here's hoping that the Beatles Anthology DVD will finally get released along with A Hard Days Night so that that Beatles fans will finally get something worthwhile.
Rating: Summary: I'd Prefer To Give It No Stars Review: This was a joke! The worse piece of work done on the Beatles that I have ever seen. If only my hand hitting the T.V. screen would actually of hit the annoying guy who created this load of garbage. Thank God I only paid a few dollars for it.
Rating: Summary: Wow... Review: Well, that was terrible.
I'll watch pretty much anything that has to do with the Beatles, and I was psyched when I got this for two dollars in a bargain bin, but now I know why. It's bloody awful.
I watched the first ten minutes, then skipped ahead looking for good parts until I ran out of film. The narrator is cheesy and has no idea what hes talking about, and the footage is underwhelming.
I never thought Id say this, but that was a waste of two-fifty. And ten minutes.
Rating: Summary: Do NOT get this DVD. Review: What a complete rip-off! No Beatles music at all. Not professionally done. Scant Beatles footage, taken off the television of news reports and some interviews of very poor quality. Mostly this is a bad narrator walking around London, talking about the Beatles and saying very little.
Rating: Summary: Come on... Review: What could I say. Pffft. I'm not a fan of this dvd. Grainy footage, poor sound quality, and this guy's vocabulary is huge and hard to understand. No music and hardly any Ringo. Heres something interesting I found... the menu on the DVD says "Beatles Celebracion" Come on! The editors are not in grade school here! They didn't even have access to Strawberry Fields. That was the funniest part. They just kept showing footage of the gate and the trees. Totaly a budget film. Use the extra money from this movie and buy one of the Beatles real videos like A Hard Days Night or Yellow Submarine.
Rating: Summary: A Whole Lot of Nothing! Review: While no one can fault Giuliano for his research on the Beatles, this one should have remained in the dark! He has absolutely NO sense of production and the crew he assembled to shoot and edit this mess doesn't seem to have a clue on any level! When you hear someone talking about Yoko Ono, you see footage of Paul.. and that sort of "presentation" runs through the entire DVD!Sound levels are awful and Giuliano brings absolutely nothing to the screen when he wanders around Liverpool, pontificating ad nauseum. About the ONLY redeeming element in this mess is the segment of Pete Best.. and even that is obviously shot on home video and bumped down several generations at that. Wait for the Beatles Anthology on DVD -- THAT will be worth the wait and the money!
