Summary: Nothing Like the Moulin Rouge ... It lacks HEART, Still Good
Review: This film is a good attempt to do what was done in Moulin Rouge...Moulin Rouge was just so good and the directing and acting were so masterful. I mean come on you cannot compare what's her name to Nicole Kidman, the star was good, the film was good, there was no story, no moral, no life, it was just a hardworked artificial americanized attempt to make a musical. Good Luck Next time .... Moulin Rouge will be the Legend, people will watch it 50 years from now, like we watch Casablanca...

Summary: Can't see this one once!
Review: This film moves at breakneck speed, sucking in the viewer from the start with Zeta-Jones terrific opening number. Richard Gere singing and dancing? Yeah and what a performance! Queen Latifah surprises (at least she surprised me) with a sexy number early on, too.Great cast: John Reilly as a believable, downtrodden Amos Hall. Renee Zwelleger romps as Roxie Hart, rising out of the ashes of a murder charge. Zeta-Jones is the sexiest of all dancing up a storm early on, then bringing down the house along with Zwelleger in a closing number that shines. Rob Marshall's direction at first appeared too heavy handed but really rolled with the prison sequences and the courtroom action. It's a roller coaster ride of a musical under his direction and, just like a roller coaster, the film is over before you know it, leaving you shaking and breathless and ready for more. Time to see it again!

Summary: An AMAZING SPLIDEFOROUS movie!
Review: This is an amazing movie!!! This amazing revival with Richard Gere, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Renee Zellweger is just amazing, with original Bob Fosse dancing. For all of you [people] don't know, Rob Marshall (who directed and choreographed it) used ALL of the original Bob Fosse dancing. [...]And did i mention how well Gere handled his character? He tends to play very serious roles, but he lets his silly side show through. Chicago is a star-maker for Zellweger, and Zeta- Jones again shines through. I seriously reccomend this for any serious broadway buff!!

Summary: Your thing. My thing!
Review: If you like musical theatre and theatricality in your movies, you will probably love Chicago. The film is faithful to the original Bob Fosse style, and the performances are fully committed and top notch. (*sidebar note: The user reviewer who said this film was ripping off Moulin Rouge has obviously never seen any Fosse theatre!) Is the editing a little much? Yes, a little. It seems that one carry-over from Moulin Rouge is the "music video" style (which, hmmm, seems to be more of a music video thing than something old Bas created himself). It makes me think of the days of the Fred Astaire films where Astaire had the clout to tell the director that the dance numbers would be full-length one-shots with no cut-aways or close-ups, and I hope that the DVD offers that option for some of the wonderful numbers from this film. However, if you prefer the style of your films to be realistic (cinematography, art direction, acting), you will HATE this. Again, it is very faithful to the theatricality of the stage production. Be warned. Me? I LOVED it.

Summary: THE BEST MOVIE MUSICAL EVER!!!
Review: Chicago. Some people think it's sexy, cynical and depressing as hell. Not me. It's an exiting and beautifully done film. Cathrine Zeta-Jones shines and she really deserved the Oscar. Renee Zellwegger is good. She's the only one I could ever picture playing Roxie. And last but not least, Richard Gere. When I first found out he ws playing Billy Flynn, I thought...OH MY GOD! He's gonna screw up the whole film. I was wrong. Gere is wonderful and It is a shame he wasn't even nominated for an Oscar. Queen Latifa is great! John C. Reily is superb. Christine Barinsky reminds me of my principle, Mrs. Becker, but hey she was just great! Chicago is a great film! You'll love it!
