I've seen the first two parts so far (plus the Peter Jackson appearance on the 'Things We Said Today' podcast, so that's been about 9 hours of Beatles watching in the last couple of days, with more to follow tomorrow, and l could happily sit through many more hours if they were made available.
Some great scenes already shown include more from the Paul / George falling out, Paul welling up ('and then there were three'), the moving end to part one, and seeing 'Get Back' slowly arriving from the musical gods Paul was in touch with at that time.
Obviously critics can have their own opinions, and either think it's manna from heaven, or boring hippie crap that should have been condensed into a shorter film, and l have no issue with that (although l am always right).
However, what does bug me (amongst many other things) is when they don't know what they are talking about. Such as the piece below from Jonathan Freedman in The Guardian, a paper l usually have a lot of time for, who states in his article it's a shame The Beatles didn't continue for at least a little longer and produce more.
I guess he has never heard of the Abbey Road album they recorded after these sessions and rooftop performance.

Bloody youngsters!!!
