One of the important things to note about this film is the disagreement from Paul McCartney about the accuracy.
Getting that out of the way, watching it I felt the story was quite a good one, and it certainly whet the appetite for getting to know the Beates more. I recently watched the Sky Arts show about Lennon (should he have not been successful), and found the attitude of both characters to be reasonably similar.
I have to say though, for what I saw, it was a really good story, if not a little disjointed at times, and I struggle to see that John had such an overwhelming power over the rest of the band, but I do see how that really added to the story that was being told.
If nothing else, it's given me an overwhelming urge to go and visit the extremely expensive Beatles Experience in Liverpool.
Should John be as talented as it appears in the film, i'm extremely intrigued to find out how he got there.
I've given it a 7.3, which bears in mind that it's unlikely to be wholly true, but the story isn't all that bad.
