 Really really bad quality dvd makes movie unenjoyable November 6, 2007

Don't bother with this one...wait for an official remastered-release(if they ever do it). This is just as bad as the day the BBC first aired this on Boxing day in black and white. I've seen this movie on VHS many years ago and I have the Beatles Anthology DVD with scenes from the movie, so I know what the picture quality of the movie should be. This DVD feels like an amateur pirated copy. The picture is so bright and fuzzy it washes out details and color.
I bought this movie for the wonderful visuals and the music of songs like"I am the Walrus" and "Your Mother Should Know". This movie is full of wonderful oddities that are a joy to see but they are very hard to appreciate when the quality of the picture is so poor.
historical value only, yet.... July 5, 2007

I had seen this many years ago so I knew what to expect - if you don't know, don't expect something like "A Hard Days Night". This is a very eccentric sales pitch for their new album at the time "Magical Mystery Tour". The credits list Ringo as the director of photography, and maybe it's true - but he's a better drummer and human being than either a director or photographer. Yet, there is much to appreciate in the historical content, and plenty to put a smile on the face of a fan. I was disappointed in the video quality, it was apparently taken from a well used and faded film. Plenty of scratches are visible, the colors are very faded, and scenes with the Beatles in white tuxes are terribly washed out. HOWEVER, if you already have everything else of theirs, you may yet enjoy some of this video. If nothing else, see where the band "Death Cab for Cutie" got their name.

As a keepsake video of The Beatles 1966 classic BBC broadcast, this digitally remastered release from Avenue One can not be beat. Keep in mind this an almost 40 year old analog video tape that it was copied from. However it was copied from the orginal master tape and as such, it's far superior to the earlier releases I've seen. So don't expect HD clearity, not by a stretch. What you do have here is a prestine copy of MMT, primarily shot from hand-held, somewhat primitive equipment, at least by today's standards.
None-the-less, there's a warmth and a subtle charm in watching the boys in one of their very last video performances. They ham it up with the same sort of wreckless abondament which won us over with on A Hard Day's Night and Help. Consider this, Magical Mystery Tour preceeded M-TV by at least twenty years and can be seen almost as a prototype of that format. Indeed further testiment to The Beatles lasting influence on the music industry and the marketing of pop culture. And finally there's the sublime soundtrack: I Am The Walrus, Your Mother Should Know, Baby You're A Rich Man, Hello Goodbye, Strawberry Fields Forever, Fool On The Hill, Penny Lane, Flying, (The Beatles one and only instumental) and George's pyscidellic sitar opus Blue Jay Way. Irresistable stuff if you consider yourself a Beatle-Maniac of any degree. You've got to love this DVD.........Afterall "All You Need Is Love"!!!!!!!!!!Step Up To The Mystery Tour!!!!!!
 Big Disappointment November 25, 2007

The product I received was an obvious pirated copy. The cover was low quality, but more importantly, the DVD was very low quality. I think this was produced by someone filming the screen in a movie theater. The video was fuzzy and the sound was crummy. The only reason I give it a star is because it played. I was surprised to see this from Amazon, even though it came from a 3rd party vendor.

As the old saying goes.....Buyer BEWARE! This is for the die-hard Beatles Fans ONLY. The quality of the DVD is worse than poor. It's as if the copy was made from a recorded VHS televised airing of the movie. The sound quality of the songs, though, are very good. But. The video quality is beyond awful. At times, the video is washed out and unwatchable. I only paid $8.00 for my copy. I would recommend not paying more than $2.00. Unless you are a very die-hard Beatles fan and MUST have everything they've done. I'm sure in Time, an OFFICIAL release of this movie will come about.
