All we got was sh*t!
I had heard for years this was really bad, but I'd never seen it. And after a recent great UNCUT magazine cover story on this period of The Fabs, I just had to finally check it out.
Oh, I'd seen the movie still photos, including Paul in military garb, the fat lady with the spaghetti, and the boys prancing in their white suits inside the record album my brother bought about 50 YEARS AGO. And of course I'd seen the decent "I Am the Walrus" video which was included here, but I'd never seen the whole film of MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR. But thanks to the wonderment of library DVD loaners, I dove in last weekend expecting the worse. And that's just what I got.
I'd read some of the IMDb reviews here of the newer released Blu-Ray disc which includes some (allegedly) OK scenes not in the original film. But certainly not enough to save this "thing" (it's not a movie, but rather a series of inane clips featuring their great music).
So I'll file this one in the "one & done" category, and everyone else should just avoid it altogether and spend an hour doing something more productive. Hell, just throw on the album and clean the house. You'll be better off.
