Summary: Moulin Rouge forever
Review: I love this film! I've never seen a film like this in my life and I'm only 21! I love the songs, the acting, the storyline and the people in the film. It has everything a classic film should have! Love, hurt, anger, a great cast, a wonderful storyline and Nicole and Ewan. No other film could beat this classic sweet love story...not ever Titanic!
It will forever be in my heart and it wil forever be the greatest film ever made!

Summary: A Movie on Crack
Review: First off, I was ... misled ... The previews in no way suggested that this movie would be a musical. Although visually pleasing, the bits and pieces of pop music scattered throughout the movie was somewhat disconcerting. I just couldn't get used to it. It might have been a bit better if I would have known whether most of the movie was meant to be joking or serious. I swear, every time they burst into a remade pop song, I was waiting for a punch line only to be confused when there wasn't any. I am assuming the "Like a Virgin" scene was a joke, and, although I now find it hilarious, the first time I saw the movie I was so confused as to whether the director was joking and trying to make the audience laugh, or if he was in earnest ... I would have just given this movie two stars, but for one reason. The remake or "Roxanne" was so poinient and so well done I would buy the movie just for that.

Summary: What was Amazon thinking when they reviewed this?!
Review: I admit, not everyone appreciates a song and dance. But Moulin Rouge was an amazing movie none the less. I did find the ending kinda similar to Titanic, and while I did enjoy poking a little fun at their misfortune, at no point was I not in tears at how heart wrenching it was! This movie states a very valuable lesson within the first five minutes! "The greatest thing is to love and be loved in return." Call me a romantic (cause I am) but it's very poignant. My only criticism, and this was not important enough to detract from the rating I gave it; was that the songs were indeed, not original. But, pop culture or not, this movie is very thought provoking and will teach the open of mind a few important things to know. ...

Review: Well, what can I say, it isn't very good. The music was great, and I liked the costume design, but the story *cringes* is different...it didn't make much sense at all. I would expect better with Nicole Kidman, but it isn't good, that is all I have to say I guess. It was up for best picture, but isn't nearly as good as A Beautiful Mind or Lord of the Rings.

Summary: Enthralled
Review: Baz Luhrmann has enthrallemed me again in this offbeat, fast paced musical. The tone of the movie was both exciting and devestating at the same time. Nicole Kidman and Ewan Mcgregor astounded me with their vocal performance through the whole movie and their harmony was amazing on " come what may." There is no other director who has quite captured my attention in quite the same way. In short I was both impressed and left longing for the next film this man might make.

Summary: A Great Movie!
Review: Moulin Rouge is one of the best movies of 2001!! I love it!!!
Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor light up the screen with pure movie magic!!! They both really sang their songs and have great voices!! Moulin Rouge is an unexpected surprise!! I really didn't know what to expect when I watched it... but I soon fell in love!!! It is a great movie to add to your collection!
Moulin Rouge is about Satine and Christian and the love they share. Their love is put through many struggles, as Satine is a courtesan and Christian is a poor writer...
If you believe in Truth, Freedom, Beauty, and above all things Love.... then this is your movie!!

Summary: Horrid!
Review: I really looked forward to seeing this -- and boy was I disappointed. A visual treat -- and the idea of quoting pop songs is cute. But it doesn't work. It's too sappy, trite, arch -- whatever. I couldn't sit still, it made me fidgety. Fact is, I got BORED! Next day, we saw Cabaret, with Joel Grey and Liza. Night and day! WOW!

Summary: Delightful movie, excellent DVD presentation
Review: I first saw this movie knowing nothing about it except that Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman were in it. I was completely blown away and am sad that I only got to see it three times in a movie theatre. I have since seen it countless times on my DVD player. :DThere are so many things I love about this movie that it's difficult to put into a string of coherent sentences. The colors, oh, the colors! Luhrmann uses color effectively to try and emphasize the atmosphere. He fades them out when things are bleak and brings them in to an almost life-like vibrancy when emotions swell. It's as if he taps into your imagination and makes the world a brighter (or darker) place like you were right there with the characters. Then there was the music. In using established works, Luhrmann drew some criticism from those who love traditional opera/musicals, but I thought it worked. It's the words he's after. By using popular songs, I didn't have to spend too much time trying to figure out the lyrics. Instead, I focused on how the words fit the scene. The effect was even better when the actors sang and I was delighted to find that they had singing talent. I was surprised that Kidman had such a strong, almost old-fashioned type of voice. McGregor melts hearts with his crooning voice; you feel it when he's in pain and feel warm when he sings of love. For lovers of the movie, the DVDs will delight. The bonus disc is filled with all sorts of goodies including many easter eggs, production and design notes, behind the scenes looks at the dancing and music, and a plethora of other things. An over the top movie? Maybe. Silly? Definitely. But isn't that how it goes when you're in love?

Summary: Beautifully Made
Review: While watching this movie, I realized how much time and effort it must have took to organize all the extravagant sets and dances. The actors were magnificent in their roles(I believe Ewan McGregor was especially good in his role) and brought me kicking and screaming and to the plot. My only complaint is the fact that I hated to plot, but maybe that's just because I don't like love-triangles and what not. However, just because this magnificent production didn't please me that much, all my friends loved it and that is why I gave it 4 stars.

Summary: this is thie most incredible film ever
Review: i do agree that there is a 50-50 chance that you will hate this movie, because you either love it or hate it. beautiful colour, a huge theatrical display, fast editing, and incredible (often times corny, yes) renditions of classic songs make this a must see for any lover of musicals.
