Not much new insight into the birth or meaning of Beatlemania, just lots (and lots and lots) of concert and TV footage, often of them playing the same songs, sometimes obviously just lip-syncing to records. First, at least for me, much of the first half got repetitive. On the disappointment side there are a few issues. The last couple of hours go deeper than I suspected, and were quite moving. A good job is done of combining new interviews with the then 3 living Beatles, and recorded interviews with John from many sources, so his views and insights aren't missing. Thrilling because all the music has been re-mixed, re-mastered and sounds great, because there are lots of details that, even as I fan, I didn't know, because there's more insight than offered elsewhere into their breakup, and more important, into what held them together. For a Beatle fan (like me) this 10 hour documentary was both thrilling and just a little disappointing. ![]()
