Get Back is NOT a re-edit of Let It Be. Two different films.

I'm excited. But I hope this is in the vein of 'A Hard Days Night' rather than any of the other Beatles films bc with all due respect to the incredible music, 'Hard Days Night' is really the only fab 4 film worth watching. But I have high hopes for 'Get Back'.

I’m looking forward to it. I’m certain that Peter Jackson will present nothing less than another top notch production. From the promo clips, the restoration looks & sounds awesome.👏 😎 👏
