Summary: Musicals need to be DISTROYED!
Review: First off I would just like to say that I ABSOLUTLY LOATHE MUSICALS! Nothing against the whole plot line or theme of Moulin Rouge it's just that I liked it the first time when it was called TITANIC! Jesus people in Hollywood PLEASE get a new idea for a movie because I think I've seen the same one 20 times now! Nicole Kidman was good in the movie but sweet Jesus THE SINGING! Oh it burned like a 1000 suns to hear singing over and over and over again. Seriously I didn't think it was a musical when I went to go see it but when the third song came on in the first 20 minutes I almost walked out.

Summary: Oh dear Lord how do I start...
Review: This movie is by far my favorite. I can't understand how someone couldn't like it...but as director Baz says "The first 15 minutes is a transition into it's world. Some people make the transition. Some people don't."
One of the most amazing things about this movie is the people I have met through it. It is like all the people who are obsessed with it are exactly alike. Like there is something at the core of this movie that we all want in our lives, and it speaks to us in many ways. We share a special bond because of it.
For those who can make the transition into it the movie brings you into it's world. It is a world you wish you could stay in for it is so bright and wonderfull and full of song. Oh now don't you all forget the wonderfull songs! Baz is coming out with a second soundtrack in February so all us fans get the chance to rejoice! There were so many songs left off the original soundtrack it was ridiculouse...okay this is getting long...in short SEE THIS MOVIE!! (and also see it on a big screen)

Summary: Dazzeling!
Review: This is one of my favorite movies of all time it is wonderful!!
The acting is superb, so is the weird directing. The music blends in well too. The thing is, this is a movie where either you love it or you hate it. 2 people walked out. I love this movie, I already pre-ordered it!!

Summary: Watch out! The frame has been cropped!
Review: Yes. It is widescreen, but cropped from the original 2.35:1 format to 1.85:1.
When will the manufacturers learn that DVD users want the CORRECT theater frame ratio, whatever it is?

Summary: THAT GENIUS BAZ LUHRMANN...
Review: He has done it again. He has made several steps from ROMEO+JULIET and made an exciting tribute 2 love in the 20th century. The songs are humouresly chosen and sung with great class by EWAN MacGREGOR and NICOLE KIDMAN. The supporting cast is also ace... This is what film is all about...
It is so nicely edited 2gether; that Luhrmann; I can c Oscars, honory Oscars and countless awards in your horizon. U have taught the world 2 love musicals again. I thank u...
As I said; a beautiful fable about love, hate and greed...
And last(NOT LEAST): JIM BROADBENT is Oscarmaterial and his versions of Madonna`s Material Girl and Queen`s The Show Must Go On? Musical treats that must be viewed over and over and over(With Kidman and MacGregor of course...)

Summary: Dance Away
Review: Visually dazzling musical romance combines modern-day music with the wild heyday of 19th-century Paris to tell the tale of a young poet who joins painter Toulouse-Lautrec's hedonjistic jet set.

Summary: WOW - words are just not enough
Review: Outrageous, extravagant, over the top, and totally brilliant. What more could you want from a Baz Luhrmann musical extravaganza. If you loved Strictly Ballroom, you'll love this.Apart from 2 movies (Dead Calm and Bangkok Hilton) I haven't really been a particular fan of Nicole Kidman's. That all changed after I saw Moulin Rouge. She was just brilliant. What an actress, what a voice and not at all what I expected. Excellent choices of songs for her to sing - I'll Fly Away, Sparkling Diamonds and the Elephant Medley. How could the critics say she was cold and inanimate - she simply sparkled in the movie. I couldn't imagine anyone else playing the part of Satine - it just wouldn't have been the same. One of my favourites scenes was when Satine and Christian were first in her room and she was trying to seduce him, and then a wee bit later when everyone was trying to persuade the Duke to invest in the play. She was such a laugh. Well done to Ewan McGregor also. I have always been a fan of his - loved him in Shallow Grave. Ewan also has a fantastic voice and you can understand why Elton John agreed to let him sing Your Song (a particular favourite of mine). He does an excellent job. The chemistry between Ewan and Nicole was brilliant to watch - they just sizzled. They also sang well together - The Elephant Medley and Come What May showed that their voices were in perfect harmony. I don't think that I will ever be able to hear Like A Virgin again without remembering Moulin Rouge. I already have the soundtrack and I can't wait to buy the video so that I can watch it all over again.

Summary: Do you have a heart?
Review: An absolutely phenomenal movie!...Yes, pretty much every character and scenario in here has been seen before. That's the point!!!! This movie is about celebrating cliches! It's about telling a falsely pretensious audience "Oh just shut up and enjoy it! You know you love this stuff!" I do love it! More than I can say. The film's refrain is "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return." Corny? Absolutely. True? Udeniably.

Summary: Colorful and Crazy movie
Review: I went and saw this movie in the theatre. In fact i saw it twice. I reccomend this movie to anyone who likes music. Moulin Rouge is full of modern music,(everything from Sound of music to maddonna) and the weird thing is the movie is set back in the late 1800s. It is a crazy movie. I can describe it best by bringing up the Movie ROMEO AND JULIET, also directed by Baz Luhrman. If you can reacll the party scene, when everything is fast paced and blured for only a few seconds. Now take that few seconds and spand that over a hour and a half, and thats Moulin Rouge. Don't worry about it being too confusiing. It takes some getting used to but you'll be fine. OH i would like to state i brought my Brother and my dad to this movie. My brother loves movies like Dumb and Dumber, American Pie, and pretty much every other teen movie, and he hates musicals. My dad loves the meaningful stuff like American Beauty. The point of me telling you this is to show that this movie is for everyone. And it'll be a perfect gift.
