Across the Universe: 5/10. It's too a literal interpretation of The Beatles music and way over the top in places. I mean they've got the Merry Pranksters bus, with quite obviously Neal Cassidy at the wheel, but instead of Ken Kesey, you've got Bono playing "Doctor Robert" and they stop at the house of "Dr. Cleary." I mean, give me a break, if you are going to go literal about some aspects, then go literal about the whole thing. Personally, I think it would have been a better movie with the plot intact and a beatles soundtrack rather than some kind of 'Beatles Musical'.
