Why I didn't like "across the universe" *no major plot spoilers*

1.) They definately didn't preface the characters and their relationships well enough. They left way too much up to the imagination of the audience, in an extremely inappropriate way. All of a sudden we are supposed to believe that these people are best friends after only knowing eachother for a couple of days? There are a couple of scenes that are just like... "wtf?"

2.) A lot of the time the characters seem to be forcing the emotion way too much. The story doesn't allow any the audience to get to know the characters, their moods, their personalities, and most of the time a lot of their actions seem strange and you just wonder why they did it?

3.) I thought this was going to be a movie about the era, the hippies, drugs, concerts, the war movement, the war itself, so on and so forth. But most of the movie is focused around the composition of the dancing and the music. It is as if the storyline was built around the music, and with that you get a lot of strange and random scenes that try to develop the story, but leave you just wondering....why??

4.) The drug references were FORCED to shit! There are a couple of scenes where he smokes a joint, which just seem fine and dandy. But the first weed smoking scene, there is a non-existant joint that they pass around...it is quite odd. It seems forced just to fit the song. And the LSD scenes were done so poorly, very unrealistic, not trippy whatsoever. And they aswell seem very forced, as if the only reason they were added into the movie is because everyone was expecting it.

IMO - they could have cut the faux-trippy scenes, and developed the story more. Possibly even through more songs....
