Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

justincward Look, I'll admit it. I hate Paul MaCartney, and even the Beatles stuff he did is now unlistenable to me because I hear his now florid narcissism in the whole of the Beatles catalogue in which he was involved. This is the man who wrote 'When I'm Sixty-Four' when he was fifteen. Rock'n'Roll! And Magical Mystery Tour is Paul's baby.While it's the nearest we'll get to seeing the late 60's Beatles performing live, and there are occasional glimpses of the sheer likability of John, George and Ringo which they all managed to share in 'Help' and 'Hard Day's Night', it's quite evident from MMT that Paul's self-regard was now becoming out of control.So if you're a MaCartney fan, you'll love MMT as much Paul loves himself: if you're a Beatles fan, it'll give you the frisson of seeing how the Fab Four fitted so well into the British media scene of the 60's, and how their money made possible a lot of artistic self-indulgence. If you've never really been that convinced that the Beatles were as good as EMI or MPL Communications' press offices might have you believe, you'll see MMT for what it was: a big budget being thrown at a few small ideas.

Desertman84 Magical Mystery Tour is an hour-long TV movie starring The Beatles - John Lennon,Paul McCartney,George Harrison and Ringo Starr.It was based on a loose unscripted narrative, this experimental film was directed by The Beatles themselves and it was the vehicle to present 6 new songs namely: Magical Mystery Tour, The Fool On The Hill, Flying, I Am The Walrus, Blue Jay Way and Your Mother Should Know. In the movie, the Beatles decided to hire a psychedelic bus, take a trip into the English countryside, and film the results, no matter how bizarre or boring. With a motley cast of characters, the group basically tramps about the landscape with occasional music cues to give the film a bit of flow.This is definitely a must-see for Beatles buffs and anyone interested in how the '60s looked as they were happening.But as a film itself,it was nearly impossible to watch as there is nothing that really happens except killer numbers from the Fab Four.It was mainly all about their music and nothing more.

rzajac I'm an old Beatles fan, and I saw this when I was a teenager. The enjoyment I recall cannot be disentangled from the time and place. I enjoyed it back then, and watching it now is a sort of nostalgia rush.Certain aspects of it are great: There's a raw, improvisational energy to it that will strike many as artless, but works pretty well for me. Some of the dream/subconscious spew sequences approach Fellini or Brunuel for their purity of creative expression.And, of course, Magical Mystery Tour was one of the Beatles' best albums, and all the songs are showcased here.And how nice it is to see the Bonzo Dog Doodah Band, led by Stanshall, doing their thing!

klelliott Weird weired weird, this movie was a disappointment to me really. Over the last few weeks I have watched 3 Beatles Movies at College: A Hard Day's Night, Help, and this one! The first too were simply fab but this one not so much.The music as per usual was Brilliant and John Lennon is a total legend in this movie as he was in all (RIP JOHN + GEORGE) and I loved his hat in it lol!! But otherwise the magic wasn't working for me sorry! The whole film was a waste of time really, there was no plot, it was all over the place and it was like taking a drug trip! But i'm being a bit harsh...the music was fab and the Beatles acting was great! The songs were brilliant and the lyrics ' I am the egg man, they are the egg men, I am the walrus' stuck in my head for days lol! OK Film, but a total flop compared to the iconic A Hard Days Night and Help!! However I Love the Beatles, they were simply magical!! 6/10 SORRY!!
