Summary: A Blast for Anyone with Imagination!
Review: Baz Luhrmann created a spectacular feast for the eyes, ears, and imagination when he created Moulin Rouge. Throwing convention to the wind, he managed to give us glimpses into the energy and excitement created by the legendary Moulin Rouge and married it to an engaging fairy tale -- punctuated with pop music. You haven't seen anything like it! The movie is full of surprises (i.e. the stars doing their own singing), which makes the movie more endearing. The costumes are STUNNING, the set designs, choreography and editing are pure fun. Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman affect the right combination of innocence, campiness and elegance to make you want to watch this one over and over. When I saw Moulin Rouge on the big screen, I immediately decided that I'd have to have the movie in my collection. The DVD gives you enough extras to more than justify the purchase.

Summary: Great movie if you're able to understand it.
Review: I really enjoyed this movie. The cinimetography and visual affects blew me away. I will say though that the movie was a bit "artsy"; it took a little while to get into the rythem of it. If you saw William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (1996) and didn't like it you probably won't like this.

Summary: Get away...fast!!!
Review: A daring film that ultimately fails miserably. It is painful to watch only partly due to Kidman's lack of musical talent. There are no reedeming qualities. The editing will give you headaches. The side plots are like nightmares. The movie tries too hard to establish itself as the next Rocky Horror Picture Show or Priscilla Queen of the Desert at the cost of quality. Don't just turn away from this film, run away and fast!!!!

Summary: The best movie you'll ever see
Review: Yes, when I firstly was going to see Moulin Rouge I was quite sceptical - ok, I'll watch it, but only because I watch every movie this theatre shows. The first 15 minutes I was stunned - so much of colors, noise, moving... People, help!!!!! Where AM I???? were my thoughts... But...Well, it went further and further, and I was more and more stunned, this time with excitement. Ewan McGregor has a really unusual voice, very beautiful. Nicole not so strong, but also very cute. Just fits the moments. I can tell that I cried with delightment. This is the best movie I've ever saw. The plot is pretty simple of course, but I think the simplest is the most beautiful. But the only thing. Firstly you have to see it in ONLY the cinema. Because my mum saw it only on video, and she didn't like it as much as me. You can't get that feeling of everything surrounds you;-)

Summary: Nothing Better
Review: Who would of thought that you could pull of a remix combining Lady Marmalade with the classic Nirvana song, Smells like Teen Spirit? I thought that was just one of the many amazing tricks that this movie actually pulled off brilliantly. It left me stunned. The singing in the movie is amazing, with Nichole Kidman and Ewan McGregor's real voices, which blended together perfectly. I really respected Kidman and McGregor for using their real voices, which I thought were surprisingly 'spectacular spectacular'. And on top of that their acting really pulled this movie off. Kidman was hilarious in the misunderstanding of the poetry scene, and McGregor was a perfect shy, young boy in the scene right before the elephant medley. All in all, this movie amazed me. It's the kind you wish you saw more often with all the components; great acting, amazing cinematography, gorgeous sets, intricate costumes, and a romantic but suspenseful plot.

Summary: Spectacular spectacular
Review: Simply the best DVD package you're likely ever to come across! The film itself looks and sounds stunning - surely one of the greats of 2001. I saw the film twice in the theater but have to say I think I enjoyed it all the more in its DVD edition. The smaller screen affords a more intimate view of this film that for all its colorful mania is, at heart, a very touching and beautifully rendered love story. Nicole Kidman is terrific as Satine, femme fatale extraordinaire. But it is Ewan Macgregor's performance that really should be singled out for multiple accolades. He is truly extraordinary.
Something about the sparkle in his eye throughout lets the audience know that he is having the time of his life. I was completely swept away. As far as the added features: the multi-cam option allowing the viewer to change and, in effect, "re-edit" the dance sequences is a helluva lot of fun. "Roxanne", perhaps the film's most spectacular tour de force comes alive again and again no matter which angle you choose. My highest recommendation.

Summary: Spectacular! Spectacular!
Review: In all honesty (as you can see by the reviews) you will pobably either absolutely love or completely hate this movie. I LOVE it! In my opinion, the cast did an exceptional job acting AND singing. I think the musical arrangements are brilliant. Moulin Rouge takes you through every emotion. I was amazed by Ewan McGregor...especially in the last scene at the Moulin Rouge. My advice is to watch this movie with an open mind and don't take everything too seriously...if you do that you will probably love it too! (Oh and if you do not really like the first 20-30 minutes, keep watching....I think the movie changes quite a bit after that).
