I don't really understand how you can like the Across the Universe versions but not the Beatles versions.

Unless you just don't like male singers. Because a lot of the Across the Universe ones were sung by women and multiple artists in a sort of medley.

I saw Across the Universe and the song arrangements were, for the most part, exactly the same - the only huge differences were "I Want To Hold Your Hand" was slower-tempo (which I did like a lot), and "With A Little Help From My Friends" was a medley of the Beatles version and the Joe Cocker version.

Also:

The Beatles had hundreds of songs. Across the Universe had about fifteen of their big hits. So, not really good to judge from.
