It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Andrew Solt's "Imagine: John Lennon" is a documentary about the singer. There's plenty of focus on his music and activism, but mostly it looks at him as a person. In addition to the ample footage of John making his inimitable music and expounding on philosophy, there are interviews with people who knew him (Yoko, Sean, Cynthia, Julian). And the scene of John and Yoko's bed-in for peace makes clear that Al Capp was a real creep.Another documentary about Lennon that's worth seeing is "The US vs. John Lennon", about Nixon's efforts to keep him out of the country. Both documentaries note that, while Lennon got taken from us, his dream of world peace lives on. Indeed, political movements the world over take inspiration from him. May his memory live forever.Great documentary.

The man was a walking heart and a noble soul and I miss him very much. But his spirit lives on and watching this film is a good way to celebrate him. His personal sacrifices in promoting the peace movement were tremendous. Despite the heartless (and subtle racism) of Yoko-bashers, watching this film will help Beatles fans, music experts, and any viewer come to understand their love, the arch of his life, and his untimely and unfortunate end. The music will make you cry with joy. Undoubtedly John Lennon's music is the best and most profoundly personal music, especially for grieving and spiritual rehabilitation, in music history. His lyrics are insightful and bold, with a humanist zeal that defies blind ideology and religious zealots in the name of rationality, introspection and peace. If only more people in positions of influence would listen to John today, maybe we'd be in a better global situation at the moment. Timeless. - David

This is a well done Andrew Solt documentary made up with some wonderful never-before-seen home movies. The late musician's own narration makes for an eerie portrait of the former Beatle. You will see John Lennon as being witty, sarcastic, determined and loyal; but also childish, bawdy, and irreverent. This multi-talented musician will be loved and remembered for generations to come. Over 30 songs make up the soundtrack. Very worthwhile and musically historic.

If you like the Beatles, you'll like this movie........even if you don't necessarily like the Beatles, there's a good chance you'll still enjoy this piece of historical film that affected the way the world thought during the 60's and 70's...........Watch it........it's a very good film with rare footage and excellent commentaries.
