It's by no means perfect, but I thought they did a realloy fabulous job of not creating some literal visual transcription of the songs but rather took meaning from the songs and ran with it. The story is no Pulitzer-winner but good enough to hang everything together, and I thought most of the vignettes stood on their own as little mini stories. The whole thing felt like a good music album in movie musical form.
And I was prepared to hate it after the intro. I really disliked the bit of Helter Skelter at the front, but maybe if I see it again I'll get something different out of it.
