Movie Reviews of Help! (Deluxe Edition)
Movie Review: Help! reissue well worth the wait
Summary: 4 Stars
Over forty years have passed since the Beatles second film began life as
"Beatles Two" then "Eight Arms to Hold You." Finally, thank goodness, it
finally came to fruition in the incarnation we all know as Help!. Directed
by Richard Lester and featuring a brilliant supporting cast, "Help.!" makes
its DVD debut in this deluxe version featuring script, picture book, lobby
cards, poster and the excellent film itself. The deluxe version, though
very expensive in most people's budget, is nonetheless a cherished momento
for the serious Beatles fan. The packaging is first rate, the video itself
is impeccably restored and it only takes a passing glance to see the care
and detail put into this superlative reissue. I've seen the less-expensive version and though it is very well done, this deluxe version is a fitting document of arguably the Beatles most entertaining film.
Movie Review: What about the aspect ratio???
Summary: 4 Stars
"Help!" has never been released in its original aspect ratio. NEVER. Watch the VHS release, the Criterion laserdisc, or the previous DVD incarations. You can see portions cut off from the edges of the screen. In the past the distributors tried to convince us that "Help!" was never wide screen--but it wasn't of strict TV proportions either, as evidenced by what you can blatantly see missing at the edges of the screen.
As exciting as the restoration and extras sound, I'm concerned about the fact that NOTHING is being said about the aspect ratio. Which makes me nervous that once again we'll get a full-screen version, with no valid explanation as to why.
APPLE, please clarify!
Movie Review: Beatles at the top
Summary: 4 Stars
While it is great to see them in this movie,and in colour,i wonder about the script and the acting seemed a bit crappy.I wouldnt bother with this movie at all if the Beatles were not in it.It was a great time in their careers,and Help was such a good album.Actually that was the 1st album i got from them in 1979.Watching them perform those songs is a real treat,also their humor was good,and you just like their personalities.If you are a Beatles fan you should like this film with The Beatles in their heyday.Movie Review: beatles(say no more)
Summary: 4 Stars
the beatles are the most famous group of people on the planet.everything that can be said about them,has.so there is nothing that i can really add except that help was their second movie and as such was not as good as their first.the reason to buy this pkg. is the extras.like how the movie was made by many of the people who were involved with its production.this is not just a movie but a slice of the history of the sixties.all of this is worth watching,the extras more so than the movie.Movie Review: Is this a Time Warp or just padding the review lists?
Summary: 4 Stars
Earth to Amazon: most of the 'reviews' here pre-date the actual release of this edition. Some go back six years and more. Release date for this edition was "November 6, 2007".
Shall we 'review' the actual release, folks, with some commentary about the content, and maybe the extras?
Smile, it's the Beatles. And we'll never see their like again.
