I'm a lifelong Beatles fan, and I've only seen part one, but I also thought it was too long. I get the whole thing about seeing how those iconic songs came into being, but I felt that could've been covered just as well in a more tightly-edited format. Lots of footage devoted to the guys just talking and messing around. And yes, I also get the "fly-on-the-wall" aspect of being in the presence of greatness. But at some point, I found myself checking how much more time was left 'till it ended.
As a counter point, every review and on-line comment I've seen about this film was overwhelmingly positive. Everyone thought it was absolutely brilliant. Maybe the rest of it moves along at a better pace...we'll see.

I found Yoko's constant presence, like a wart on John's ass, to be somewhat annoying. I'll bet the others grew tired of having her around all the time too. I'm sorry, but I can't help thinking of Yoko as just some no-talent bimbo who somehow managed to burrow deep into John's very soul and actually become part of who he was. I have to say that my perception of John as a person was somewhat diminished when I started seeing just how dependent upon her he had become.
