The release of the film dates back to 1965. The film is based on the famous singers, The Beatles. However, it is not a true story about their life but, this is a comedy full of British humor . It was a school project ; we went to see this movie during the British Film Festival . It is a week when British movies are presented to the public . Besides, the film director Richard Lester , was in France , in order to make a conference about his movie .The plot focuses on Ringo. Indeed, he is wearing a deadly ring, a sacrificial ring to be exact , which belongs to an Eastern Cult. Nevertheless, the plot is not that enthralling. The gags and the music are the only reasons for watching the movie. The plot is not really interesting as a result the movie is a funny but nonsense. Also, it is pretty much repetitive and to be honest, I slept for about 10 minutes during the movie .However, soundtrack makes the movie valuable . The fans of The Beatls will no doubt be thrilled with that . When all is said and done, I will only recommend this film for the sound effect and the acting , otherwise it is not worth seeing it .

I loved the movie "Help!". First and foremost, because I actually enjoy the Beatles, even if I do not often listen to their music. I'd never particularly been interested in what they could do except their music, that is why I was particularly surprised to learn that they had shot movies. I enjoyed "Help!"; of course it is not the best movie of all time, and I was bothered at times but I loved humor there. I like that kind of movie precisely because it is not part of a particular kind, it's an outsider and that's what I liked. The plot is not amazing, far from it, but the soundtrack of the movie is awesome and it made me want to rediscover The Beatles. I appreciated the fact that Ringo Starr was put forward in the film, while he is rather put apart in the band. This is not the kind of movie that I could see many times, but it was fun and it made me want to see the other Beatles' film "A Hard Days Night".

Help!is a movie filmed in color,a movie directed by Richard Lester. The movie was the second film after "A Hard Days Night". The film is set in the capital of England,London. The plot starts with a cult who discovers that the sacrificial ring is missing. Ringo the drummer of the Beatles band has it.It was sent by a girl, who's to be sacrificed as a gift. Help!is a charmingly goofy fun movie, the music is very good. Ringo becomes targeted by a group of obsessed oriental mystic people. The Beatles run away from London to the Swiss and to the Bahamas. Ringo of course is constantly on the run in this movie. I liked this movie,it's a nonsense movie and it's nice and funny, in addition it's filmed in color. Even if this was more than fifteen years it is an absolute must-see. The cast is excellent with of course the Beatles band,composed with Geoge Harrinson,John Lennon,Paul Mc Cartney and Ringo Starr. The storyline is exciting, the acting is enthralling. On scale of 0 to 10, I give this film an eight, I think it is a good mark. My recommendation about this movie it is well worth seeing! It's a great piece of film making,don't miss it. And finally,fans of the Beatles will no doubt be thrilled about it.Ines Jabla, School Albert Camus

Please leave your brain at home before you go to the movies if you're planning to watch "Help!". The plot, if it's worth saying there's one, is downright nonsense. It looks like the scriptwriter wrote random actions and places on a few pieces of paper and wrote the whole story according to the order he picked them out. Thereby, you'll enjoy watching the Beatles being chased from England to the Bahamas, passing by the Alps, by the fanatic members of a mysterious and ridiculous sect, trying to rob Ringo's sacrificial ring. And yet, if until here the storyline doesn't seem to overwhelm logic, the end helps. Because even though logic was somehow maintained through the Fab Four's adventures, even if it swayed a lot, it collapses with the final scene, when every single character, probably guided by a drunk scriptwriter, meets at the beach and tries to obtain what one wants by stabbing whoever one sees. And whatever you may think after you read this, I liked it! Because it was really relaxing to see it. I had a good laugh, thanks to its fantastic British sense of humor. I see it as a feel-good movie.About the film itself, I'd say the image looks quite modern because its very colorful, that's another good thing, and the music is, of course, the work of talented artists, though I don't like the Beatles style of music (please don't murder me).As a conclusion, on a scale of 0 to 10, I give this movie a seven, because it's funny and relaxing, but it can't be considered a masterpiece. Go watch it with friends or with your family, have fun! But please don't watch it on a date, it'll be awkward.
