Movie Reviews of The Beatles Anthology
Movie Review: That's Entertainment!
Summary: 5 Stars
People, please. What could be more entertaining than hours upon hours of the Beatles telling their story? I have watched this many times, and never tire of it. If you are a fan, you are missing out if you don't see this. And the bonus material is great too - Paul George and Ringo jamming and reminscing - wow!Movie Review: A great bargain
Summary: 4 Stars
This Beatles Anthology DVD set is a great bargain because when it originally came out in the mid 90's on VHS tapes it was about $120 more. I still have a catalog from then to prove it. I was very impressed with the sound quality. The best sound quality I've ever heard Beatles music presented in. Makes me wish my old Beatles CDs sounded that good. On alot of my other DVD's I have to crank the volume way up to get any decent audio. The only thing I didn't like is that during some of the songs like "Revolution" & "Hey Jude" there is talking. I'm interested in what they have to say but not during the songs. And it doesn't seem to have a feature where you can just play the music videos. But I guess it's supposed to be a documentary & not a collection of music videos. Also I seem to recall some minor scenes when I saw it on TV in 1995 that weren't on the DVD, like the reunited Beatles in the 90's admiring one of the member's fancy car.

This was a great price for a great product. I have really enjoyed watching all the episodes and learning more about the Beatles. The interviews with each of the members help give a personal perspective to the events surrounding the Beatles' amazing popularity. A great buy!Movie Review: A Must Have for Any Beatles Fan

Anthology is the history of the Beatles as told by the Beatles. It is the story of the Beatles from when they were young boys in Liverpool to when they recorded their last album, and everything in between. It is not only told through their words and interviews, but by their music, their movies and live performances, including their first concert at Shea Stadium and their appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show, just to name a few. Anthology also comes with a bonus disc of extras which includes the making of Anthology and the recording of the two latest Beatles singles, "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love". Anthology is 10 hours of pure joy for anyone who likes the Beatles. Just sit back, watch, listen and enjoy! Movie Review: The Best Thing You Could Have on The Beatles
Summary: 5 Stars
If you never buy anything else pertaining to the Beatles,you must have this one DVD boxed set and the book that goes with it.Amazon's price is unbeatable,by the way.This is about 10 hours of complete Beatles history.The best pictures,concert footage,sound,etc.than any other Beatles DVD.This set is so superbly put together that it takes your breath away.I can't describe it.Just buy it and you will know what I mean.My favorite parts?Well everything,but the rare TV footage is priceless.The Shea Stadium concert is in gorgeous color and quite a lot of it is included.The EMI studio chat both for the early years and the White album is fantastic!Yeah,two sections where you hear nothing but snippits of conversation from the studio.Loved it.There's the boys' promo films for Paperback Writer and Rain.This is rare stuff and it's all here.Nothing is left out.It spans the years 1940-1970 just to give you an idea of the gargantuan tome you will be enjoying.Plus a bonus DVD which is facinating.Oh how could I forget?!There is a lot of concert footage also;ie,France in 1965 not '64,Blackpool Night Out from June 1965,and other marvelous concert footage.I'm a little annoyed about one reviewer who entitled his review "McCartney Grudge"and went on to say that Paul somehow fixed it so that John was edited out of the press conferences.Oh yeah,big bad Paul took the time out to do this. He also had time to wash everyone's cars in the parking lot and shampoo their dogs too.But he wouldn't wash Yoko's car.Whatever.Also one person noted George's discomfort being around Paul during the commentary.That's funny,because I saw Paul biting his nails and choosing his words very carefully whenever he was with the other two.It's no wonder since everything is always big bad Paul's fault.Enough already.If Paul McCartney ruffled George's feathers it's only because Paul was in his own little world in the studio.His only concern was making perfect music.The music he heard in his head.And John wasn't exactly sleeping either.If Paul stepped on some toes,oh well.The guy was a pop genious, a modern day Mozart.So was John for that matter.Geniouses always have volitile personalities,and they are usually perfectionists too.And thank God for that!Now we can sit back and enjoy the results of that genious every time we play a Beatles record.Anyway this DVD is the only one you need in your collection,but if you love the Beatles as much as I do you will want more.
