Just watched it over the weekend, and as Paul would say, "it had some good bits."
Alas, it also had bullspit. Like when John and his friend are in the cemetery, and they notice a tombstone with the name Eleanor Rigby (which was supposed to lead the viewer to believe that John thought of the song).
I also didn't care for the "faces" of the Beatles. The actor who played John sounded just like the guy, however, it looked really nothing like John. The nose was too small, his upper lip was "too Elvis."
I can accept artistic license to change events to help move the film, and with that in mind, I thought it was a decent film. The actor portraying Stuart was spot-on. Macca was okay; George, well, they could have found a better George. And forget about the dude who played Ringo.
I like how they managed to fit in some "good bits," such as when John, after becoming a success, presents his aunt Mimi with a little plaque saying: 'you'll never make a living playing a guitar' [sic], words to that effect she used when she tried to deter John from leaving for Germany back in the beginning.
