Summary: MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR ROCKS! But only to true Beatles fans.
Review: Many critics have put Magical Mystery Tour down. But to me, I love it. It is one of the best movies I have ever seen. I am a huge Beatles fan, so this movie was pretty cool to me. I really like the music sequences for I Am The Walrus, Blue Jay Way, and Your Mother Should Know. The sequence for The Fool On The Hill wasn't very entertaining. Anyway, you should really think before you buy this movie. Are you enough of a Beatles fan to like this strange and weird movie? I know I am.

Rating: 2 stars

Summary: 5 stars for entertainment value, minus 2 for DVD quality
Review: Most of you probably know the general details of the plot and the circumstances of this made-for-TV movie by the Beatles, so I'll stick to a review of the DVD itself. The b/w newsreels (Beatles opening their Apple Boutique, Beatles at Rishikesh) are interesting, some promos for the other Beatles-related films are OK, but I was not prepared for the really dismal quality of the film itself. A colorful (psychedelic, at that) film is now flat and washed out, the print itself speckled and grainy. This film cries out for restoration! An enjoyable film for Beatles fans (great proto-music videos), but if you have the VHS version, you don't need to spring for the DVD until a new edition (hopefully) gets released.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band
Review: There are two reasons to watch this movie. The first is that you love the Beatles so much that anything they ever did, including bowel movements like this film, fascinate you. The second is to see Vivian Stanshall sing "Death Cab for Cutie." This is the only good scene in the film. It is not worth watching the whole film, however, so don't do that. Fast forward to the "tent scene," watch it, and remove the DVD from your player. You're done. It is incredible that the Beatles, the greatest Rock act ever, are upstaged in their own movie. At least we get to see the Bonzo Dog Band.

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: The Magical Mystery Tour Is Awsome!
Review: This movie is weird, but cool. It barley has a plot, but there is one there. The Beatles acted, and directed, this movie. They did not have alot of experience in movie making, and that's why it turned out so weird. My favorite parts, were the music sequences. I Am The Walrus was my favorite music scene. My second favorite was Your Mother Should Know. And my third favorite, is George Harrison's, Blue Jay Way. Of course, we all know that the worst music sequence was The Fool On The Hill. But this movie is just cool. Although when they are not having the music sequences, the talking parts don't make much sense, you can sort of make out what they're saying. And what they mean by what they're saying. But now I quote, that in order to like and find this film interesting, you have to be a true Beatles fan. If your not a true Beatles fan, I quote again, you will not find this film interesting. But for me, it's awsome! It's one of the best movies I've ever seen! This movie is just plain cool. But just remember, For all you Beatles fans out there. This movie is for you!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: interresting but the act was confusing!
Review: I rather decide to see Deep purple concert rather to see the Beatles had acted like a fool in this film. No stories at all and has no sense! the songs are okay but if you re the Beatles die hard fans only!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Magical Mystery Tour falls flat
Review: This movie has really gained nothing from it DVD release. The picture quality is dreadful, with so much dust from the film, that obviously no clean-up has even been attempted. The color is barely there, and certainly not with the spirit of the movie being vivid and bright. This is all due to a poor film print used for the DVD transfer, and no digital editing to restore color or remove glitches. The quality of this disc is no better than that of the video-tape version, which I also own. No Special features, and the previously mentioned problems amount to an overall disappointing DVD.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: "I Am The Moron!"
Review: You'd have to be a "Fool" to go for this crap!

I've produced more credible concoctions in my morning toilet!

Buy the CD. If you have the video tape, re-use it to record some home footage of paint drying or an infomercial!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brilliant!....But Not For Everyone.
Review: Okay....I admit, this film makes very little sense, confuses the crap out of you, and its characters deserve a severe beating of some kind.....BUT THAT'S JUST THE POINT!

"Magical Mystery Tour" was a very independent project of the Beatles, during their famous L.S.D period. Unlike all of their popular films, this one is aimed at more of an underground "art" audience. It is weird, creative and just plain insane! Don't expect to see any lovable mop-tops in this film....if you aren't open minded to strange things, don't even bother with this one.

However, the music videos are very rare and interesting! I love this film, and find it very Influential!
