Movie Reviews of Help!
Movie Review: A must have for true Beatles fans
Summary: 5 Stars
A fun romp with the Fab Four. Different from a "Hard Day's Night" in that there is a story line. Albeit a pedictable one. Ringo gets a ring given to him by a soon to be a sacrificed girl. Trouble is only the one who wears the ring can be sacrificed. The villains a far eastern cult tries to get the ring back- failing that. They go after Ringo to sacrifice him instead to their god. Yeah it is silly and is a bit like a long version of "The Monkees show" but with the Liverpool Lads going to extreme lengths to protect Ringo while singing one terrific song after another. Songs like "Help!", "You're going to lose that girl", "You've got to hide your love away" and "the night before" and more Their antics and their usual humor makes this an enjoyable - turn your mind off- movie.Movie Review: YES!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow, I've watched Help on TV and for years on VHS and DVD. Today was like a first viewing; I couldn't believe how emotional I got watching something for the 1,000th time! Pure visual magesty, feels like you're in the room with them. Audio is superp, I have 16 year old Bose 901s. How sharp? I thought John was playing a 12 string acoustic during the opening "Help! scene". The "Ticket To Ride" sequence, (my all time favorite Beatle song) is the reason director Dick Lester was proclaimed "The Father OF MTV". Fun extras too, watch Paul forge a "George Harrsion" autograph on a poor little girl's leg cast, Ha! And Neil Aspinall finally takes his hat off! What a great save for the day, lost my job yesterday. My only complaint? LET IT BE!! LET IT BE??Movie Review: Eight Arms To Hold You
Summary: 5 Stars
Help! seemed to be the blueprint for every Monkees episode ever made: Zany mayhem set to music. Man, did they beat that concept into the ground.
That unfortunate glitch aside, this is a completely enjoyable film from beginning to end. The Beatles may have been tiring of the whole show biz grind by then, but it truly doesn't show in this, their second motion picture. And musically they were really kicking it into high fab gear--Ticket to Ride, You've Got to Hide Your Love Away, The Night Before--and to think there would be even greater accomplishments soon to come.
But really, what else can you say about The Beatles? The proof is in the pixels.
Now...ahem...How about releasing Let it Be? Anyone?
Movie Review: Great Re-Release
Summary: 5 Stars
I may have been born in the 80s, but I was still fell in love with the Beatles (and John Lennon) long before my teenage years. I think a Hard Days Night was their best film, and was just pure genius on how Dick Lester made it.
This one I felt never had the tightness the other film had but it was still good and fun to watch. I am giving it 5 stars not for just the movie, but the package and the remastering. The video is clear as day, color is perfect, the extras are very nice, and the movie isn't bad either. So throw away your tape versions of this film and get this one. Any Beatle fan should own it (but make sure you get Hard Days Night and Yellow Submarine on DVD as well, for they are both worth it too).
Movie Review: "Help me if you can..."
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great movie. It's not "A Hard Days Night", but it's funny and has the Beatles, in color! It has some really great scenes like the boys recording "I Need You" and "The Night Before" on the Salsbury Plain surrounded by the Royal British Army. Huh? "Go to the window...go to the window..." Kooky, corny but...it's the Beatles. I particularly like the boys doing "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away". Not to mention an entire pub and football stadium singing the chorale to "the famous Beethoven's famous Ninth Symphony". Much for your money. Worth every penny, considering it had recently listed for upwards of $100.00 For me it was a miracle; an answer to my prayers that they re-released it!
