Yeah, I know. There are a lot of marginal-quality, semi-official DVDs of Beatles films out there <cough>MagicalMysteryTour<cough>...but this one doesn't fall into that category.

Picture-wise, it's crisp, with minimal noise (just a VERY RARE bit of film dust on occasion). The sound is excellent, too. Not muddy, perfectly synced, etc. It's a full-frame presentation, but I think the US release from the late '90s was, too. The only odd thing is that NOWHERE on the disc or case is the name of the movie printed in English. Oh, and the photo used for the cover of this 1965 film is, inexplicably, from 1967.

But until MPI gets their act together and re-issues "Help!" in the US, this Korean version is a fantastic substitute for about a tenth of the price that the rip-off sellers are asking for.

It is a true delight to watch this extraordinary DVD with the FABULOUS FOUR!!! This is a movie for BEATLES's fans and for the curious that will become undoubtedly fans. All the songs are BIG HITS and are in a perfectly synergetic relation to the story and the plot.
What a privilege to experience the pure genius of JOHN LENNON, the beauty of PAUL MCCARTNEY, the always uniqueness of RINGO STARR and to witness the first reactions of GEORGE HARRISON to the influence of Indian music knowing that it would mark him for the rest of his life and guide him in his spirituality and music. The FANTASTIC FOUR are stronger than ever and AT THEIR BEST and you can't help but to be dazzled by their presence and absolute talent!!! The quality of this Korean DVD is superb in both terms of good sound and clear image. It is a striking movie that touched me and a DVD I will be watching and recommending over and over again!!!

This film is such a riot! The plot is interesting, the jokes are well-placed and the action is exciting. To finally have this film remastered and out on DVD is a blessing to all Beatles fans. The music is outstanding and fits in well within the frame of the movie which keeps it from feeling like a music video.If you have never seen this film, get ready for a fast paced adventure that takes you all over the world. In tandem with "A Hard Day's Night," this movie sets the Beatles apart form any other rock group in history. This is a must see.

This has always been one of my favorite movies and I never could understand why I couldn't find it being sold in the mass market media stores. World Acoustic got my copy to me very quickly, in perfect shape. I was a little confused at first, seeing Japanese wording on the case and was afraid that the DVD itself might be in Japanese. However, I was pleased to find the movie done in English as ordered.

I just got a copy of this S. Korean dvd of "Help" and it's great. Print quality is excellent and the dvd plays perfectly. Why pay over $100 for the oop MPI release when this is every bit is good, and just as good as the Criterion laser release from years ago. Even has the original theatrical trailer, and I got my copy for ten bucks, delivered, all the way from S. Korea. So what if there's Korean writing on the cover? Highly recommended.

FYI: For those that have the MPI DVD version of Help!: This Korean version is comparable in image quality.

I purchased this in hopes of having a dvd of the movie HELP! by The Beatles. At first, when i recieved the package I almost freaked out, soince it had Korean written on the back and the cover didn't have HELP! on it. But after I popped it into my dvd player it gave me what I wanted. Th epicture quality seem spretty clean and the sounds seems fine. Of course it's not from Apple but it is a pretty damn good substitue.

We had an old VHS copy from years back that was taped off the tv, and my kids wanted a DVD version. Being an import, I was afraid that it wouldn't play in our machine, but it played in all of them without a hitch. The picture and sound quality are great, especially compared to out old VHS copy!
I am not going to describe the movie, because I think most people have seen it, and if not, then shame on you! ;-)

I watched this on my brother's monster HD WEGA and I was back to those Saturday afternoons when Help! would come on back to back with Yellow Submarine or maybe a Hard Day's Night. I always thought the Beatles movies pioneered music videos before there were any. I couldn't believe how crisp the film transfer was since I'd already seen other movies made much later that looked like crap on HD. I would love for an affordable American release, of Help! but this one's plenty satisfactory for me. Rave!

Well, I love Help! I was thrilled to get this inexpensive version which is technically well done. Sharp. Clear. Things like that.
