Comment: This is the bootleg/pirate copy.
Who would claim to love those from whom they steal?

Summary: Unfinished, but not bad
Comment: Watching the movie all the way through, you can tell that they were rushed to get it out, and so it ended quite oddly.
Yes the story really doesn't come together (maybe a better ending would have made it good) but the songs and performances are great! Flying with it's psychedelic colors is wonderful. Fool On the Hill with Paul on the countryside is great. Blue Jay Way is just plain weird and kewl. Also, you HAVE to see it for the only ever performance of I Am the Walrus. Also, there is a part of another band in there called the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band. The band is very closely tied to the members of Monty Python (Neil Innes of the band especially, who also wrote all those Rutles songs). Paul did some producing for them, so he asked them to be in the movie. Plus if you notice the song they sing is Death Cab For Cutie . . . now you know where that "new" band got it's name.
If you are a Beatles fan, I recommend it because of the performances (and the dream sequence with John and the spaghetti) and the fun stuff they do too. If you are not a big fan, don't bother.

Summary: Beatles still rock
Comment: I bought this CD for my 16 year old daughter who has discovered the Beatles. She just loves their music and I am getting to enjoy them again also. It is great to be able to share my youth with todays youth.

Summary: Movie is fun for fans, but skip this (probably illegal) copy
Comment: My three-star rating is based on the actual movie. If you are only a casual fan of the Beatles you are probably not going to care much for MMT. For diehard fans, though, it's a must. Being one of those diehards, I enjoy MMT quite a bit. After all, it's got the only video in existence of the Beatles performing numerous hits, including "I am the Walrus." HOWEVER....you probably don't want to bother buying this pirated copy. I bought one a few years back after my original, official-issue MMT dvd went missing. I was extremely disappointed in the very poor quality of the transfer. I guess you get what you pay for. Hopefully Apple will get on the ball and remaster and re-release this one, but considering they've been hemming and hawing on a reissue of Let it Be for a couple decades now, I wouldn't hold my breath.
