John Lennon: Lennon Legend (2003) Reviews

Member Rating:

Corresponding with the CD release of the same name, Lennon Legend is intended as a far-reaching overview of the career of one of the most revered rock & roll songwriters of the 20th century. Compiling previously-unseen clips, including "Working Class Hero," "Everybody Had a Hard Year," and "Give Peace a Chance," the video includes 20 classic John Lennon tracks, hand-selected by the production's executive producer, widow Yoko Ono. What's more, the video also collects the couple's home movies, his newsreel footage, and personal drawings, all of which form a portrait of the man at different stages in his career and life. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

I loved the "home movie" clips and found all of the footage very revealing of John's personality. Before seeing this movie, I only knew his music, which I really liked. This movie reveals a kind of goofiness John had, since he clowns around a lot, and shows how much he loved Yoko. It made me like John as a person instead of only as an artist. Very touching.

Great videos from John. I wish it would have included more concert or in studio sessions rather than just video of John and Yoko walking around.

What I loved most about this DVD is it gives insight into John as a whole person--not just the former Beatle or the artist famous for Imagine. John Lennon has been my idol since I was an early teenager, and it was heart-warming to watch his home movies as well as his rare-footage performances. The animated line drawings by John are included in the bonus features-another plus! This is a fantastic film--even if you aren't a die-hard Lennon fan. (Chances are, after watching this, you will be!)
