There was too many psychedelic scenes for my taste, but overall it was pretty solid.

Meh I don't think there were that many.

I went into this thinking it was going to suck and i loved it.

sadly I went into the theater thinking it was going to rule but I was reminded of the last Beatles movie fiasco




If I knew the movie was going to be RENT with the music of the Beatles I would have skipped it. The direction was bad - the movie equivelent of FPS, the acting meh, the casting atrocious (with the exception of Joe Cocker, Eddie Izzard and Bono who was brilliant. I don't recall Salma Hayek's roll as the nurse but it was one of the better songs in the movie), the soundtrack re-recording sub-par. Oddly I think it would have made a great Broadway play, but as a movie wait for Showtime.

One week later I walked into a theater with the same very high expectations while seeing Wes Anderson's Darjeeling Limited, now that was a movie that was even better than the hype - I loved it!
