Three parts, almost 8 hours total. I'm near the end of Part 2 now.
I didn't know if I'd be able to tolerate hearing bits and pieces of Let It Be-songs over and over, since it's not one of my favorite Beatles albums (I prefer all the other post-Rubber Soul albums). It's very interesting, though. It helps that I'm a collector of vintage albums, so maybe my attention-span is already attuned to this sort of thing.
Most of it is them writing and working out their parts. The candid conversations among the band members are hilarious at times. Any time one of the other hangers-on opens their mouths, it's excruciating. The director Michael is an absolute fucking knob. All his ideas for how to present the filmed concert are terrible. They were inches away from doing something really stupid instead of just going on the roof.
I read some criticism of the DNR that Jackson put on the 16mm footage. I was curious to see how I'd feel about it myself. Yup, it's hideous. It looks like a 480p YouTube video.
