Rating: Summary: Moulin Rouge Review: Someone must have lost a load of fertilizer on the way to the garden store. This is all the movie is good for. Why does the "Dwarf" have a lisp ? He was short not verbally challenged. Save your money.
Rating: Summary: A Vortex of Brilliance!! Review: From the second that the lights went out, I was pulled into this movie and it wouldn't let go. Moulin Rouge is a spectacular film. It's not only the best musical that I've ever seen, it's one of the best movies. The comedy in this film is just so fast and off the wall I found myself laughing because I just didn't know what the heck was going on! The musical arrangements of modern popular songs was pure genius and the dances were out of this world. Everything about this film was perfect, from the little conductor directing the 20th Century Fox theme to the grainy spotlight of the memorial at the very end. After the movie ended, it took a minute and a half for people to start moving; it's just that hard-hitting. I walked out of this movie wide-eyed and breathless; if you only see one movie this summer at least see this one, you won't regret your decision.
Rating: Summary: Not from the PR Department Review: Saw the movie this weekend and loved it! Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor did a fantastic job and I applaud the risks they took. The reviews were correct - it was unlike anything I have ever seen and I am so glad there are still filmakers willing to do something different from the predictable summer parade of sequels and/or explosions.
Rating: Summary: Not perfect, but close enough! Review: I LOVED this movie! There were some things that could have been better (Baz's over use of quick visuals detracted from many of the scenes, making it difficult to fully enjoy the costumes and dancing, the "Like a Virgin" number was TOO long and I never quite bought the all consuming love between the movie's stars), but for a movie experience it was as close to perfect as you can get these days!I felt swept away, loved the use of current classic pop mixed with original songs, the costuming and visuals would have made Tim Burton jealous and the supporting cast was excellent. It is definitely a film I will see again at the theater AND I will own on DVD. Beats most of the drivel out there (and if I ever lacked faith in the American public's taste, the fact that The Animal outdid Moulin Rouge at the box office this week proved that the majority in this country is a pathetic bunch of morons). Happy moviegoing!!!
Rating: Summary: Fantasy - excellent art work Review: Like jumping into a wonderworld. The usage of color and music brings viewer into the world of Moulin Rouge. The richness of this film is something that you can hardly find today. Compared to Pearl Harbor, I personally believe that Moulin Rouge is a better film. Especially, its music is so powerful and filled with emotions. The song, which I love most, is "come what may." When its DVD comes out, it will be a must buy for me. Indeed, I am ready to enter the world of Moulin Rough again.
Rating: Summary: Viva La Musicale Review: After making the exciting Romeo and Juliet with Leo DiCaprio this is the only way Baz Luhrmann could top himself. Moulin Rouge virtually rocks. I dread musicals myself and I was skeptical going into this one but Nicole and Ewan can actually sing. The director makes it look real smooth when the actors break into song. And it doesn't hurt that he chose some of the best written songs for them either. Ewan McGregor is actually beleivable when he breaks into what might be the most beautiful song ever written--"Your Song" (Elton John, Bernie Taupin). You're gonna Love It, Love It, Love It.
Rating: Summary: This movie deserves a trillion stars! Review: This is a movie unlike any you've probably ever seen. The effects travel beyond realistic measures to the point where you're not quite sure what you're watching at first, but it's perfect. Moulin Rouge is the type of movie where you find yourself suddenly laughing through tears. It's got excellent comedy, passion, music, drama, and everything. The very day after seeing it, I ran to purchase the soundtrack. The movie also passes along a great message, which I won't mention as to not ruin it for anyone. Go see it and enjoy!
Rating: Summary: Moulin Rouge Review: This was one of the worst movies that I have ever attempted to see. 1 star is much more than it deserves. The ONLY thing good about this was the surprise that Ewan McGregor could sing. At one point I actually had to plug my ears to keep them from bleeding. The true hero of this movie was the "consumption" that ended the howling of Satine. On a positive note no one can say Roxanne better than Jacek Koman. Save your money.
Rating: Summary: Beautifully done! Review: I agree with everyone else about how wonderful this film is, and I am truly sorry that Mr. San Fran didn't see the same. It is a very rare occasion indeed, when I can exit a theater and be entirely satisfied with what I have just seen. Moulin Rouge did just that for me. How could you NOT like this piece? The acting is fabulous (of course), the cinematography is fantastic, and the music: VERY moving, and surprisingly phenomenally done! I have since recommended it to everyone I know who enjoys movies, just as much as myself...In fact, tonight I am going to go see it for a second time! Go out, and experience it on the "big screen"; you will NOT be disappointed
Rating: Summary: Wow. What an entertaining fantasy! Spectacular spectacular! Review: I laughed, I cried, it was much better than... well, any movie in recent memory. Moulin Rouge is wonderful fantasy, a movie that knows it's a movie and uses all of its tools to best effect. As compared to other movies, which are often nothing more than plays captured with cameras. The director of Moulin Rouge speeds up the film, dazzles with fancy editing, tosses up special effects, and uses a complete motion picture pallete to create a truly moving, exhilirating experience. I've read some high falootin' critics complain that the movie has a thin plot, or is unrealistic. Ummm... Moulin Rouge is a *musical*. The Sound of Music wasn't exactly Shakespeare. Cats is more than a little fantastical. These poor fools missed the entire point of the movie; they should just sit back, open their eyes, ears, and hearts, and be entertained by a movie that had my audience laughing, groaning, sighing, clapping, and weeping. And smooching. After all, Moulin Rouge is a movie about, above all, Love. A special aside to couples: this is a TERRIFIC date movie. If you don't have your arm aroung your dear one throughout this movie, you should get that heart jump-started at the ER before you completely stiffen up.
