DVD Reviews of The Beatles - Help!
DVD Review: Great Music! Bad Movie!
Summary: 2 Stars
I am a Beatles Fan & enjoy listening to their music. However, this being said, I thought the movie, "Help!" wasn't very good. It was a combination music video of the The Beatles performing their various songs in different locations and a movie about a group of evil religious zealots trying to steal one of Ringo's rings.
"Help!" is a really artsy film, where we see crazy, unrealistic antics happening repeatedly by all the cast members. The acting is bad in this film and the storyline is silly throughout. The music, costuming & make-up are the only redeeming features in this film.
DVD Review: Beatles Help Deluxe Edition
Summary: 5 Stars
Fantastic 2 dvd Deluxe set of the Beatles Help.I'm a big Beatles fan and got this for a great price from Amazon,well worth it.DVD Review: Great collector's package
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great collection of material and tribute to the heyday of 'Beatlemania'. The remastered edition of 'Help' is very well done; a huge improvement over previous releases and a worthy addition to any Beatles collection. The amazing Amazon promotional deal made this purchase a 'no-brainer'.
DVD Review: No brainer at this price.
Summary: 4 Stars
I have the regular edition for this awesome movie. The price was to good to pass up. Beatles fans if you can get it at this price(I got it at $29.99) get it. The box is huge, I actually am not going to open it. I will let my son open it when he is ready to explore the world of the Beatles. Love is all you need. DVD Review: It's The Beatles...
Summary: 5 Stars
Need I say more??? A must have for all Beatles fans out there! Video and sound quality are excellent. Lots of rare photos and video footage added to this package. Well worth it.
Description of The Beatles - Help!
After the worldwide success of A Hard Day's Night, the Beatles and director Richard Lester reunited for a follow-up film, Eight Arms to Hold You. Well, that wasn't the final title; a pleading Lennon-McCartney tune provided the catchier handle: Help! A loose semispoof of the globe-trotting James Bond pictures, Help! has always been considered a somewhat disorganized comedown from its predecessor; but it presents "the famous Beatles" even more clearly as the English cousins of the Marx Brothers. The plot has an Eastern religious cult declaring that the new ring on Ringo's finger is the key element in a human sacrifice; they will stop at nothing to obtain it. Meanwhile, a mad scientist (crazed Victor Spinetti, who also appeared in A Hard Day's Night and Magical Mystery Tour) believes that if he has the ring, he could--dare we say it?--rule the world. The songs, including "Ticket to Ride" and "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away," are filmed with gleeful ingenuity, in locations such as the Bahamas, an Austrian ski resort, and the Salisbury Plain. The relentless nonsense becomes nearly the equivalent of a swinging-'60s Alice in Wonderland: for instance, Paul shrinks to the size of a gum wrapper, John fishes a season ticket out of his soup, George wears a top hat on the ski slopes, the lads sing the "Ode to Joy" to a lion. Oh, and the film is dedicated to Elias Howe, "who in 1846 invented the sewing machine." Brilliant. --Robert HortonComedy DVDs
