What’s the deal?
Of coarse I love the soundtrack but what’s the premise?
Only one guy remembers the Beatles existed?
Ummm ok
WhT about the actual BEATLES who are still alive?

It's a one-note joke of a film...the entire joke - sustained for the entire movie is that single premise.
He remembers Beatles songs, nobody else does.
And its 2019 and everyone goes gaga over "I wanna hold your hand" - like rock hasn't progressed since Ed Sullivan's days.
The movies premise that Beatles songs are so fricking good it doesn't matter what era is absurd.
They were a hit because they were new.
They stayed a hit because of nostalgia and fame.
But the movie acts like if the Beatles came in to the music scene in 1994 and the grunge era they would be total hits or the big hair band era of the 80's - or rap, whatever.
But the movie shows modern spring-breakers back that arse up tattooed girls going apeshite over I wanna hold your hand...as if it's 1963.
This movie is the music version of The Invention of Lying...and it gets old real quick that everyone else is clueless and loves this new thing called the Beatles that should be 50 years behind the current music scene.

I disagree. If singer/songwriters like Ed Sheeran and similar guys can have success then i dont see how a guy playing some beatles songs in the same style wouldnt be a huge star.
It does seem like a one-note movie but I'll reserve judgement until I see it. The director is pretty damn good.

I hate the fact that studios took a ridiculous idea...and made a one trick pony skit...
And they did it...and the only reason for the movie is just to listen to fricking Beatles songs for two hours.
This feels like Paul M. just called the studio and said, makes us relevant again.
It's a music video Ad pretending to be a movie. Lets all get back into the Beatles - yeah!
This movie is pure marketing and special interests and that is the one thing in movies that pisses me off. This isn't art. This probably has a Pepsi commercial behind it.
This is not film-making, this is money-making with a 10 Cent idea to make money just by playing Beatles songs.
It's so fricking transparent, this money grab. The story is nothing. This is not a movie. Just a way to get Paul to sign off and license the songs.

You're making an extreme assumption here. There is no guarantee music would exist the way it does today if the Beatles had not existed.

You sho is angry.

Exactly. There’s also no guarantee the songs will have the exact same Beetle’s sound in the movie. Could be using the lyrics and rhythm from the beetles with a more modern sound to address the supposed continuity issue that’s giving mizzou a hernia.
Getting all pissed at something without ever even experiencing it. Classic case of outrage culture run amok.

I'd rather see a good Beatles biopic.

Holy frick, dude, you haven't even seen the movie.
You should really evaluate how angry you let yourself get over shite that doesn't affect you.

I think there are some Beatles songs that with a little adjustment in scoring and recording quality could be a hit in any era. "Helter Skeltar", "Happiness is a Warm Gun", and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" all could easily have been hits from the early to mid 90's. "Twist & Shout" could have made a fun hair metal song in the 80's or a pop punk track in the early 2000's. "Yesterday", "Help", "Don't Let Me Down", "Hey Jude", and "Dear Prudence" probably could be hits in any era depending on how you score them.
"I Wanna Hold Your Hand" would never have been a hit in any other era. That's just f&%king ludicrous.

Nice rant .... I'll sum it up
He doesn't think the Beatles are anything special and based on that the movie will suck.
I mean he's wrong and maybe wrong on the second part but there it is.

Are you arguing that the only reason the Beatles stayed a hit band during the course of their career was because of "Nostalgia and fame"?

He does not understand this.

I can make an argument that 'Rocky Racoon' would be a No. 1 hit today if dropped. Shoot, maybe a No. 1 movie.
Like many Beatles' songs, 'Rocky Racoon' is timeless. It does not fit in 60s, 70s or any era. You can plug it in at any time. That's why it would work today.
Rocky's girl leaves him for another man. Rocky challenges him to a duel, loses, so Rocky tries again. There are definitely worse movies out in theaters.
