Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Such a funny & inspiring movie to watch when you are a Beatles fan! Definitely my favorite movie and always will be

The Beatles! There was nothing like them when they appeared and they stayed that way for decades. The movie captures their start-up and you can easily see why it caught on so well. These boys were handsome and talented and Everyone agreed with them and their music. Speaking of which we get to experience some of the best start-up songs of any professionals career and they still hold well to this day. Memories for those that grew up with this and for those that didn't, enjoy a decent song with words that make sense about the oldest subject in the world i.e. love. Wait no longer as this movie is...

I'm not here to tell you that, hey, the Beatles are one of the most successful pop/rock groups of all time and that they actually sucked; I realize that the album that the film promotes is nearly flawless, its pretty much a template for every pop/rock album promoted since, but the film just didn't click with me personally.The main problem is that it constantly employs a standard comedy approach, where the Beatles are young northerners, outsiders representing the youth audience, and in each sequence they outsmart or out-cool the establishment, basically anyone that appears wealthier than them, or in a position of power - its much the same routine as Ivan Reitmans later "Ghostbusters" picture, if anyone notices.My other issue with the film is that the group don't really appear as themselves, but as slangy, Northern teenagers; they typify a youth culture that they've actually outgrown. The film is for the bands audience, rather than people interested in the band themselves.I like the idea of comedy, rather than an earnest series of interview segments, and this movie was a massive commercial hit (they were the biggest act in the world at the time), but I found the experience oddly thin and disappointing. Some great use of camera and editing though, which had an influence on the coming of music video.

For those of you (like me) who weren't alive in 1964, let me tell you this: back then, in Britain and America (and elsewhere), The Beatles were absolutely HUGE. Fans would swoon at their presence. So, naturally, it was decided a movie should be made of them. What came to be was: A Hard Day's Night.This movie isn't entirely plot less -- It's general plot is The Beatles, playing The Beatles, make their way to a concert, showing what they do behind the scenes, as Paul's wacky grandfather, played by Wilfrid Brambell, tags along and gets in some crazy antics. It almost seems to be a sketch comedy. But since it definitely has its humorous scenes, I can't blame anyone for anything. All in all, I recommend this one. It's worth watching, but if you want you can skip it. It's nothing spectacular.
