Review of The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years (2016) by 43In2014 — 23 Nov 2016
Related media: I grew up long after they broke up. I have seen some documentaries about them, but there are just so many documentaries. I have also read up about them on Wikipedia, but again, there are just so many things to read up on.

What's it like?: The first two-thirds is the usual documentary-style coverage of the Beatles's Touring Years: 1962 - 1966. The remaining one-third is the post-credit 35 minutes of restored and remastered footage of their 1965 concert at Shea Stadium. >.
Tip: This documentary really out-did Marvel films in the post-credit department. It had 35 minutes of material after the credits had fully rolled. If you had left the cinema after watching the average content of the first two-third, you'd be kicking yourself. Leaving this chunk of the documentary to after the credits, without any indication that there is more coming up, is ridiculous on the part of the director! >.
Pros: The post-credit 35 minutes of restored and remastered footage of the 1965 concert at Shea Stadium is what truly made the film. It was great!
>.
Cons: The first two-thirds was decent but not very interesting if you already know a lot about the Beatles. How would the the different age groups rate it?
>.
Children: Average Teens: Average.
Young adults: Average.
Medium age adults: Good.
Old adults: Good.
My rating: 4/5 (no half scores). It is worth spending your money and watching it in the cinemas.
