really good review!! i agree w you especially abt the tone of the movie. its very disappointing because you can see the potential in this film, especially with the actors who (overall) did a good job. but unfortunately it got wasted. ig that's what happens when a movie is in development hell for as long as this one :/

19:41 That's me at the docks

The most accurate film ever ringo starr being twice the size of John

That was very interesting. A pretty serious review. I noticed this film on Amazon but haven't seen it. Thanks for the "Heads up". Being of a certain age, I find myself difficult to please when it comes to film recreations of the 1960-70s. They rarely hit the bullseye, but then, I suppose filmmaking is a flawed realm, subject to all kinds of compromises. I LOVE that you're so into the Beatles, though. Good for you.

Love your videos! I say make them as long as they need to be, and don't worry about it. We will watch them. Last April fool's day, Quinton Reviews posted a 38 hour video of his dad doing a deep dive into The Beverly Hillbillies and Petticoat Junction. I've watched it 3 times, and I don't care about those shows at all. Your videos are entertaining and insightful. That's all that matters. Like Roger Ebert once said, "No good movie is too long".

4:53 into your awesome video and you go and say you hate The Notebook?! JK this video rocks!!!

I think a Mal Evans bio pic would be interesting.

The story of George telling George Martin that he didn't like his tie, IS TRUE. George Martin himself said that is what happened and it was what broke the ice and he loved the cheekiness, as he said "they were very charming people." I live in Cleveland, and George Martin gave a talk in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's auditorium that only seats about 300 people. I was there, and was SO glad that I was in attendance. It was marvelous listening to him talk about his time with them in the studio. THIS is where he described that incident with George and his tie.

Their accents in the movie sound terrible. I like beer AND Beatles.

Pretty sure Tex Ellington was supposed to be a reference to Diz Gllipse.

Loved this album when it came it...I was a newbie teen Beatle fan and nobody in my peer group knew or cared about The Beatles. My 3 older brothers thought I was crazy. Now all my brothers love The Beatles. I knew if I waited literally decades, my bros would finally see their greatness lol

The Beatles are an afterthought the focas is on Mr. Epstine.. who ever was the casting director was, decided to select theses actors for the parts

anyone who calls "piece of sh+" a different point in scient is the actual piece of sh+t i'm gonna guess without watching: 1% England 2% Beatles 6% Brian Epstein himself 91% concious and subconcious LGTVHQ propaganda it is "nOrMaL"

You are so good ❤

Like as a Beatles fan, I enjoyed it on its own merit. The movie was fine. But like, it had so many obvious problems

I was underwhelmed

4:05 I'M DYING 😂

Totally underrated movie

It was amusing when Brian appeared in 'What's My Line?' (1964, I think) and the host introduced him as 'Barry', and he subtly corrected him, "(It's) ...Brian" 😅

This film was so bad it was embarrassing. It was painful to watch . AWFUL👎👎

.... Don't really know about the film??, but I find this mad, self indulgent, immature and ranting review completely unwatchable!!🤢

I don't like watching any of these Beatles biopics. We've seen thousands of pictures, videos, performances, and interviews with The Beatles over the years (including manager Brian) so it's too hard to pretend some actors are them. At least for me it is. Can't do it. 🤷‍♂

Could this actor replace McCartney in '66 😁

We won't talk about Pete Best. lol

He was a mama 's boy , unhappy gay man.

Thank you for the link! I agree with pretty much everything. There are tricks and effects that could have been done to fix the height issue. I thought the acting was good, the Beatles accents were spot on. The pacing and tone were weird. The wigs were bad.

I agree - the height of John against Paul (and George) was "off-putting." The guy that plays Paul, however, is the best I've seen. Overall, I thought the movie was okay, but I didn't learn anything new . . .

To be honest i wasn't even able to get through the trailer when it came out a couple of months(?) ago, i just cringed so hard. thanks for making this video so i kinda know what it was all about without having to watch it all... from what i've seen, the best thing that came out of this whole project was the portrayal of paul, his actor is getting some attention now, so that's great for him

It was such a weird movie because on the surface it's enjoyable and I had fun during it... but I took particular issue with the touring years all being condensed into minuite long exposition sequences where Brian just talks to camera. It would have been actually really interesting to see ANY of what was mentioned actively affecting him, like how would he have talked to promoters? or those in charge of merchendising? and the whole debacle in the south with not wanting to play segregated audiences? they had ample material to pick from to make a scene out of that shows you WHY exactly he was so stressed about it. Him just telling you it doesn't, unfortunately, have the same effect, even when he's taking pills during it. Actually, the way his substance abuse was showed was way too matter-of-fact- almost trivial, which was a very confusing choice. Also the character of Tex Ellington was a really useless addition to the film, especially since he isn't a real person. Why is the film trying to build up this persona as if he was anything at all in history? I agree with all of your points, it just was. bad. not good. great video as always!

I always thought Paul was tall looking at the Sgt Pepper album cover. But i’m blind on one eye so the visual may be off…

Your review, was as always, SPOT ON, Lars!!! Thank you!!

I like the 4 new songs. I rather play sub on revolver and all you need is love on mmt. And also they could of add singles like jude revolution lady maddona inner light like they did on mmt side 2.

I have yet to see this. I saw some clips. Lousy wigs and lame production aside, it is a shame that Brian Epstein is often cast as predominantly a tragic figure. Sure he had a lousy time being gay in a time when homosexuality didn't get decriminalised in the UK until 1967, and died before his time; but there was a whole lot more to him than that. He managed one of the best fucking bands ever and helped to steer them in a direction that completely revolutionized the pop music industry and society. I love this John Lennon quote about him: "Brian was a beautiful guy, Brian Epstein, and he was an intuitive, theatrical guy and he presented us well." He was very much part of the party, too sometimes. I always remember a story Paul McCartney once told about when they all discovered pot - how Brian Epstein got stoned off his tits and sat in front of a mirror, pointing at himself saying "Jew, Jew.." while pissing himself laughing. Great vid as always from Lars Land. You rule.

5:22 That's me! ❤

The one thing i cannot stand about this film is that you can tell that they had no idea WHY they wanted to make a film about Brian Epstein in the first place! Imagine, you've got this man who got extremely lucky multiple times, but it all just led to more hurt and doom for him in the end. It's a classic tragic story, yet they managed to make it as boring and mundane as possible. Heck, they even called the movie Midas Man! They knew Epstein's story had great potential to be told in film. But, it seems that telling a great story didn't matter to them in the end. They just slapped on a bunch of historical events and called it a day.
