Summary: Didn't like it all.
Review: Being a fan of musicals this dissapointed me greatly the lack of a good script and songs made it sink to the level of badness it achieved. The performances were good but the faults were too strong to see the good factors of the movie. Not worth your time at all.

Summary: A turning point in modern Hollywood movie making.
Review: There seems to be two schools of thought regarding Baz Luhrmann's 2000 cinematic musical extravaganza Moulin Rouge - boring rubbish or shining star in commercial movie making. Considering I have awarded five stars, it's safe to assume that I do not belong to the former!From the creative opening titles (red curtains opening up to reveal the Fox logo, with a rather manic orchestra conductor included), you know you're in for something different to the Hollywood norm. The entire film continuously bombards its audience with an amazing array of visual imagery - constantly moving bold colours, stunning costumes, fast paced editing, energetic dancing and recognisable modern music. The plot is fairly predictable - poor boy falls in love with popular girl, they fall in love and against all odds they come together only to have one die. The entire plot is given away within the first few minutes so it's safe to say that the plot of Moulin Rouge is secondary to the visuals. Ewan and Nicole do an excellent job characterising through song - A brave move for two well known and popular actors to expose their other talents to the world - a move that has paid off handsomely. Whatever people think of the movie, their performances are difficult to fault. The standout actor for me is the Australia Richard Roxburgh. Despite some roles in Hollywood movies like MI2, he remains unheard of outside Australia. As the Duke, Richard shows us another side to his acting - cartoonish comedy combined with evil drama. Richard is an amazing character actor and hopefully Hollywood will see more of him in the future. The 2 disc DVD set is packed to the brim with extras, giving fans the opportunity to explore Moulin Rouge to its' deepest depths. Disc one has the movie itself as well as 2 engaging and entertaining audio commentaries. There is a special version of the movie entitled 'Behind the velvet curtain' where several times during the movie a green windmill pops up and pressing enter on your DVD will bring up a featurette pertaining to that section of the movie, such as the in-depth discussion of the creation of the stunning opening sequence. Disc 2 has many featurettes and interviews to explore. From the music to the costumes, a huge amount of information is divulged for the fans who wish to explore the movie making process. My complaint here it is that many of the actors and behind the scenes crew give glowing accolades to the Director Baz Luhrmann. He may very well be a genius, but we don't really need to be reminded of it every 5 seconds. Aside from that minor gripe though, there are many hours of entertainment in the special features. Whatever your opinion of Moulin Rouge, it has been a pioneer in recent Hollywood movie making, leading to the current revival of the Hollywood musical. If you can get past the thin plot and immerse yourself in the colourful, fast paced world of the Moulin Rouge, you will discover a very special movie. .

Summary: Awful one of the worst films of 2001
Review: One of the worst musicals ever made for the screen, the total lack of story and script is laughable and the acting is nothing more than average. And the songs? old pop songs people hated , I normally like Baz Lurmans movies but this was awful.

Summary: it's all about love and light effects
Review: I liked the movie, but honestly I prefer Amelie.
Nicole and Tom Cruise formed a good pair but I wanted to
see some french actors too.
I was touched by the music especially that song of Elton John
Although I like light effects and views from Paris and
magical 'infinite zooms' I think in Amelie they are
excessive
If you want more effects you should go to the laser show
at the Griffith Observatory of Los angeles (in renovation
these days unfortunately).

Summary: The Best Movie of All Time!
Review: Moulin Rouge is my absolute favorite movie. Nicole Kidman is positively radiant as the beautiful courtesan Satine (she should have won the Oscar last year!), and Ewan McGregor is wonderful as the sweet and handsome writer, Christian. The supporting cast is wonderful. I especially loved John Leguizamo as the real-life artist Toulouse Latreuc.
There isn't enough space for me to express how much I love this movie. The romance gives you butterflies, the visuals take your breath away, the costumes are awesome, the music gives you chills... I actually found out what happened in the end before I saw the movie which really made me mad, so I don't want to give anything away. Just see it. Please.
As much as I love and as much as I HOPE you love it, Moulin Rouge is the kind of movie a person either absolutely loves or absolutely hates. Some people think musicals [stink]. Some people might be taken aback by the film's style. Just watch it with an open mind, and enjoy. I think you'll love it.

Summary: Unoriginal!!
Review: I had high hopes for this movie. I had heard how great it was, how great the cast was, how great the music was, etc. What I got was a completely unoriginal movie.
It was yet another boy meets girl, girl can't be with boy since she's forced to be with someone else. Perhaps they were trying to capitolize off of the success of movies like "The Princess Bride," which had the same theme (though far from the same plot.) To make it even less original, the songs are not even there own. Most of them are ..of popular songs.
I stuck with it though. I kept watching thinking that soon it would all make sense. Perhaps at the end someone would wake up and talk about how that was the weirdest dream they'd ever had. Something like that. But no. At the end the viewer is left wondering, "is that it?" I remember back to scenes such as when some guy with a gun gets tackled, the gun flies out the window and hits the Eifel Tower. I'm sorry, but did I miss some sort of strange symbolizim here?
In the end I was left with the same feeling I get when I have too much Pop-Rocks and Rootbeer. Just another foamy, queezy stomach ache.
The only reason for people liking this movie that I could think of was peer pressure. All the reviewers talked about how great it was, some artsy-fartsy people said it was great, and then it was a great game of telephone until the majority of people liked it. Fight peer pressure people. Don't be afraid to say how boring this movie was.
I pray they don't make a sequel.
