Magical Mystery Tour (1967 TV Movie)
1/10
Should have burned the negative
24 April 2023
After finishing this film. Take, for example, the scene of the sergeant yelling gibberish. This goes on, and on, and on, and there's no discernible point to it. It's just irritating to see and hear. Then there's the scene of the 3 magicians dressed in red, wondering where the bus was. There's McCartney standing on a hill while "Fool on the Hill" plays. Lennon dresses like an egg. Harrison wears a hat that he uses to block his face from the camera. Ringo moves the needle up a star for a moment as he argues with his aunt.

One of the sequences plays out on what looks like an abandoned WW2 air base. I found myself looking at the dilapidated ops buildings instead of the action.

After the triumph of "A Hard Day's Night" this movie is agonizing to watch.
