After watching this film, one can only hope that someday Scorsese will decide to do a proper Lennon documentary with the music, and hopefully with the help and blessings of Paul McCartney. This film, with it's focus on the former wives, and poor choice of stock footage and Lennon interviews, does little more than present him as a total jerk. Although probably true on certain levels, that can't be the whole story. I learned more meaningful info about John Lennon in the few minutes McCartney discussed him during his 1997 David Frost interview. Surely an artist of his stature and influence deserves better than this. And forgive me if I'm wrong in saying this, because I'm not an expert on the subject.. but when has anyone EXCEPT John Lennon ever cared about what Yoko Ono thinks? Maybe a short interview is warranted given her involvement in his life, but this goes on and on- again, the man deserves better.
