Summary: Exhausting!
Review: You'll need a nap after watching this movie. DON'T watch it with a Latte you might explode!What an exciting movie, see it with friends that have a good music background for the best enjoyment. (...) It's a blast hearing old familiar music used in this new way. You've never heard Roxanne used this way and Madonna would have never expected one of her songs (can't say which one) in this movie, it was great, you'll love it! Both leads are wonderful and so perfect together. Nicole Kidman is just stunning in real life, but in this movie the camera (and maybe a little computer action) made her unforgettable. This is a must own movie, sure to perfect any Saturday night home party.

Summary: And the Oscar goes to...
Review: If Ewan McGregor doesn't at least get an Oscar nomination for his role in MR...there is no justice. He plays the role of Christian with starry eyed innocence to a person full of torment and rage(when Satine claims to not love him). There is so many layers to his performance. His singing on the other hand is just a wonderfully added bonus. Man can he sing! For anyone of you that walked out of the theatre because you were frustrated with the "LOOK" of the movie... You missed the BEST performance from an actor this year. Ewan is absolutely BRILLIANT : )
Moulin Rouge as a movie is a breathtaking, original, groundbreaking musical.

Summary: Oddity = Success
Review: If you like musicals, go to Broadway or Vegas shows, buy soundtracks right after they come out... well, you know who you are, you will love Moulin Rouge!!!
The music in this film is outstanding, and who knew that both Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman could sing?... they can not only sing, but sing beautifally together!!!... The adapted songs make so much sense, the pieces of different songs seem to have been magically put together and work perfectly!!!
The set and costume design was outstanding, and as opposed to other reviewers I do see an Oscar nomination in these categories, because such incredible design plays a big role in making both Montmartre and the Moulin Rouge come to life!
And well... as my opinion goes, I also see this film becoming a musical, it's got so much potential!!!!
Yes, the story line is simple, and the characters are not very well developed, put the movie as a whole takes your breath away.
My only complain is that it starts off at a very fast pace and suddenly slows down, but apart from that I think it's a one of a kind, very well worth your time and your money film!

Summary: Like an Explosion in a Glitter Factory.
Review: This fantastically realised film assaults the senses from the first frame. Nicole Kidman has never looked more beautiful, Ewan never more adorable. My pre-reservations about the score were quelled from the opening, and Kidman's rendition of 'One Day I'll fly away' is breathtaking. Note to detractors, below: There is a plot.
Of COURSE there is, the film is stuffed with plot. What did you think it was about? It is not meant to be serious.
It is a melodrama not a serious attempt at storytelling. It is full of overblown artifice, unrealistic comic strip creations (I sometimes think I'm watching a different film to other people) Why shouldn't the leads be Oscar nominated?
They have shown themselves to be the most versatile perfomers of the year. And even though Lurrhman's frantic pace and manic editing sometimes disables their ability to truly 'act' there is enough here to propell all the actors to even dizzier heights.

Summary: A love story everyone dreams of...
Review: After seeing this film I have had nothing but compelling thoughts rummaging through my head, as well as a deep-seeded desire for powerful, true love.
Baz Lurhmann's directorial tastes have always been on the cutting edge, which makes the film a little difficult to follow in the beginning, but the music and the youthful love story just sweep you away. I give total thumbs up to the fantastic soundtrack as well-- nothing like it.
By the movie's end I was so touched that I have been able to think of nothing else but the ache of a love like that. If you have not seen it, I recommend you do, for it's a beautiful movie, and one of the most moving I have seen in quite some time.

Summary: PHENOMINAL!!!
Review: Moulin Rougue was an enormous surprise to me. I walked into the theatre not knowing this was to be a musical! Nicole Kidman's singing talent really shocked me! I was so surprised to hear such a sweet voice. Ewan MacGregor is just plain adorable, and his angel voice makes him drop dead gorgeous!
The imagery and style of this film really blew me away! I would reccommend this movie to ANYONE looking for a great time at the movies! You'll be singing the songs for days!

Summary: 5 star review
Review: This movie is romantic, funny, witty, glamorous, and it has a great plot. Being a fan of Ewan McGregor, I can honestly say that this is one of the best movies he has made. Both Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor sing with their own voices and "Lady Marmalade" makes the soundtrack great. Baz Luhrmann has outdone himself again, with his wife being his costume designer. Moulin Rouge is my favorite movie and I'm rating it 5 stars.

Summary: Great movie!!
Review: Moulin Rouge is an excellent movie. The singing in it is fantastic; Ewen McGregor has a wonderful voice. I was not expecting to like the movie when I went to see it, and the beginning is a little bit strange. But if you give the movie a chance, it's superb. I ended up loving it! One thing that's so great about it is that it is so different from most movies. I very highly recommend it!

Summary: Best musical since South Park!
Review: Forcefully passionate, Australian director Baz Luhrmann's third film (after the marvelous Strictly Ballroom and the so-so William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is by far the best work he has ever done. Dropping you immediately into a carnivalesque world of magical and musical mayhem, the elaborate editing and production design help greatly in telling the story of a young writer (Ewan McGregor) who decides to live the bohemian life in the Montmartre district of Paris. Rooming across the street from the famous Moulin Rouge, he is drawn to the club by his curiousity to see the spectacles inside its decorated walls and to fulfill a job his new neighbour Toulouse-Lautrec (John Leguizamo) has commissioned for him: write the club's brand new musical theatrical "Spectacular Spectacular", set to star the Moulin Rouge's main attraction, the courtesan Satine (Nicole Kidman). Naturally, our young hero falls madly in love with the untouchable goddess, oblivious to the fact that her devotion is already being bought by an evil merchant (Richard Roxburgh, who also co-starred with Kidman's ex-husband Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible 2 which was filming in Australia at around the same time as Moulin Rouge). Despite its being set at the turn of the century, Lurhmann (brilliantly) uses music from all periods of the twentieth century, from Richard Rodgers to Nirvana, and uses it so appropriately and in such abundance throughout the whole film that all the songs add to the emotional substance of the story rather than call attention to themselves in a gimmicky way. Kidman and McGregor couldn't be better both as actors and singers, Kidman especially has never been more attractive, and the supporting cast topped by Jim Broadbent as the club's owner are all top-notch. Highlights in the musical include the chart-topping cover of Labelle's "Lady Marmalade", a beautiful rendition of Elton John's "Your Song" and an unforgettable tango version of The Police's "Roxanne". It's especially necessary viewing for musical lovers, but anyone will be moved by the passion brought about by these very talented actors in a story that is predictable in a nostalgic and beautiful rather than tired way.
