Summary: Movie is fun for fans, but skip this (probably illegal) copy
Comment: My three-star rating is based on the actual movie. If you are only a casual fan of the Beatles you are probably not going to care much for MMT. For diehard fans, though, it's a must. Being one of those diehards, I enjoy MMT quite a bit. After all, it's got the only video in existence of the Beatles performing numerous hits, including "I am the Walrus." HOWEVER....you probably don't want to bother buying this pirated copy. I bought one a few years back after my original, official-issue MMT dvd went missing. I was extremely disappointed in the very poor quality of the transfer. I guess you get what you pay for. Hopefully Apple will get on the ball and remaster and re-release this one, but considering they've been hemming and hawing on a reissue of Let it Be for a couple decades now, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Summary: Magical Mystery Tour Review by Life-Long Beatles Fan
Comment: Magical Mystery Tour Great to see The Beatles, as always, slightly ahead of their time! Banned by the press at the time, it's cool to watch it now given what has transpired with MTV, etc. They were simply "paving the way" for such! Any way you "cut it," it's still THE BEATLES!!! They're "waiting to take you away!" :-)

Summary: Magical Mystery Tour Review
Comment: This movie has been through the ringer by the critics but for Beatle fans like myself, its a must have. The highlight of the movie is the "I am the Walrus" and while there are other classic tunes within the movie, this purchase was more for my collection.

Summary: Utter confusion but fun...
Comment: My seven year old daughter has become a Beatles fan and so daddy purchased the Beatle albums and available movies, as well as this BBC television production. (Daddy grew up during the era, in both the UK and the USA and is a Beatles fan himself.)
An obvious fly by the seat of your pants production, with lines made up as the film was underway and some obvious tenstion between the band members, neither my daughter nor I understand most of what is happening except the Beatles seem to think that "Dewsberry road" is a comical line and my daughter likes the film.
If you are a die hard Beatles fan, you might want to have it simply to have it. If you are not, stick with the album of the same name.
The picture quality is poor, at best. The story line is as close to non-existent as it could be and still seemingly have a story line.
