Rating: Summary: The BEST Review: When I first saw it, I immediately knew this would be the Oscar winner. And I enjoyed it just as much the second and third time. True, there are better singers and dancers, but then again, those people usually cannot act. I thought everyone associated with this movie did an outstanding job. And Rene Z was robbed--she nailed the part!
Rating: Summary: More than just jazz Review: Usually, I never watch musicals, but "Chicago" is amazing! The music, especially, is great. It's been a long time since a musical this wonderful has been released. Nobody knew that any of the actors could sing so well, though they had to attend intensive voice lessons before filming. I loved how they switch periodically from their life(speaking mostly) to their fantasy(singing on stage). The costumes and stage setting was amazing to look at. "Chicago" was well deserving for its six Oscar wins, including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actress(Catherine Zeta-Jones). I expected more wins, but that's okay. This will be a classic years from now!
Rating: Summary: Fantastic the most amazing musical in years. Review: Where to start? From it's fantastic score to it's fantastic cast Chicago is one hell of a great movie musical. Everything is perfection and Rob Marshal has made one of the most truly fantastic musical movie adaptations ever. I loved it and have seen it many times at the theatres and everytime I love it more. A Great way to spend 2 hours.
Rating: Summary: I'm sorry but I don't remember Moulin Rouge winning best pic Review: 3 words: Cathrine Zeta-Jones. Not only does she out do anyone around today with her singing and dancing but she did it all while being preganat! I'd like to see Nicole Kidman do that.Oh by the way Richard Gere was so robbed of his Oscar nomination.
Rating: Summary: Chicago Review: I loved the movie Chicago and believe it earned every award it received. The acting was superb, as was the music. I can't wait for the DVD to be released. Chicago is a far better movie than Moulin Rouge in my opinion. I lasted about five minutes with Moulin Rouge and turned it off.
Rating: Summary: What a great Movie Review: The new sure fire hit musical "Chicago," will prove that the 2003 movie season will be the best one in a long time. Sure enough, films like "Chicago" will start Hollywood's great quest back to stylish and brilliant movies...
Rating: Summary: Great movie. Review: This movie is one of the best movies of all time. Catherine Zeta-Jones, Richard Gere, and Renee Zellweger did an awesome performance. This movie is way better then Moulin Rouge by singing, dancing, and overall entertainment. Chicago compared to Moulin Rouge is no comparison at all. I cannot wait for this movie to come out on DVD. Like the movie i predict that the DVD will be spectacular. If you liked Moulin Rouge i can almost bet that you would love Chicago. In fact, you may even like it more. I loved the movie Moulin Rouge, i consider it a classic, but when i saw Chicago it replaced Moulin Rouge in two seconds. This movie is truely amazing and a magnificant show that I suggest everybody see. I am extremely happy Chicago won best picture because it definitly deserved it. Chicago has become a classic.
Rating: Summary: Oscars Don't Prove Anything Review: This movie is plain weird like all movie musicals. I still don't get what its about and I will not ever see it again because I don't want to know what its about. This movie is just plain dumb and terrible if you ask me. And why is it that SO many boring, and strange, movies are nominated for Oscars all the time? It just doesn't make any since! The Lord of the Rings and The Pianist were the ONLY two good movies nominated for Oscars. Chicago got its share of VERY undeserved Oscars. This is the worst movie of 2002! Don't bother wasting your money on buying this garbage. Chicago is a very BAD and BORING movie. GRADE: F- out of an A+
Rating: Summary: Never Trust The Oscars Review: I can't believe the masterpiece "Gangs of New York", or the kinda-classic "The Two Towers" got passed over for this load of filth. I mean, the songs aren't catchy, and if I hear "All That Jazz" (playing it ONCE at the Oscars is enough, not EVERY SINGLE TIME this movie was brought up...not to mention when it shows up in the film) one more time, I'll kill the man that came up with it. These actors (they're actors, not singers) cannot sing to save their lives, and the lyrics sure don't help. Add in direction by someone who can't direct, writing by someone who should have his pen taken away, and snapshot, confusing editing, and you have a witch's brew the weird sisters in "Macbeth" wouldn't touch. Junk.
Rating: Summary: An Excellent Movie!!! Review: After watching Moulin Rouge, I was a bit hesitant about Chicago. But from the first time I saw the preview until I watched the movie, I was obsessed. With better acting, singing and directing (I hated the eratic direction of the Moulin Rouge director), it's understandable why this movie won 6 Oscars and Moulin Rouge a couple. This is THE best picture in years. Watch it, or you'll regret it.
