Chris V Filled with pointless talking heads that offer unimportant opinions and experiences and are nothing more than filler. Then there is the strange opening sequence with JFK as if to connect the Beatles to him, which uh, they may have been from the same era, but they aren't connected in any way, shape or form. The Beatles history is already mined and there's nothing left, making this a waste of time. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Zara F Disappointing - not sure if this film knew what it was trying to do. Is it about the tour in Feb 64? I didn't leave with a clear sense of what those 2 weeks looked like, anyway. The '64 trip is the hook, but the film doesn't seem to nail that. A general overview of why the Beatles were special? Kind of, but nothing you've probably not heard or thought yourself (if you're watching this). How many Ed Sullivan appearances were there - 2 plus one recorded for later transmission, I think, but not at all clear in the film - I'd imagined these would be the centrepiece. A bit confused by references to songs that came later. And Ringo's wardrobe from mid/late 60s etc etc?! Some really really great, fantastic, footage but assembled in a disjointed, clunky way. Lots of interesting suggestions that don't go anywhere. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/16/24 Full Review Shankar K Absolutely mind-blowing... Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/06/24 Full Review Birithivy Y Beatles ‘64 - 9/10. Being a big fan of The Beatles, its always awesome when new content comes out about the band. Or, when retrospective looks show just how much of a grasp they had on the general society and public with their fandom and music. Only few individuals on earth’s history have had a level of fame that would cause mass hysteria whenever they went. The Beatles of course had that, and so did Michael Jackson, Leonardo DiCaprio during the release of Titanic, Justin Bieber, One Direction, BTS, Taylor Swift, and so much others. The amazing thing is actually showing you how much of a big deal they were (and still are) to people. Seeing these digitized footages of their welcoming into America, just post the JFK assassination (the way this doc starts off leads you to believe we’re going down a more darker route), is fascinating to see. Again, I’ve seen and heard so much about their British Invasion on America, so I know a bunch of this stuff already. But its always a treat to see how much of an impact they had in total! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/05/24 Full Review Noah R Some parts of the film were boring. Such as random interviews about peoples Beatle fantasies. But the overall documentary and old footage, was good and entertaining. Recommended for Beatles fans everywhere! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/05/24 Full Review Tom M Using the Maysle bros film as a base this is actually quite a serious take on the Beatles takeover of The U.S. I've seen everything Beatles and it seemed fresh to me.
