Summary: Re-imagining what a musical can be
Review: For about the first 2/3 of this DVD, I wasn't sure whether I loved this movie or hated it, but I knew it was like nothing I had ever seen before. I'm a huge fan of musicals and was interested in seeing where this movie was headed. I didn't expect to be taken on such an extraordinary ride. I think this updating of familiar opera themes is done well and the special features of this DVD make what was already an amazing experience even better.

Summary: Robbed of the 2001 Oscar!
Review: Moulin Rouge is an unique, ambitious and heart-wrenching movie. Baz Luhrmann is a creative genius and a visionary who definitely deserved an Oscar nomination for Best Director in 2001. I personally feel that it's a crime that the movie did not win the Oscar! This movie has all the elements of a classic: great music, excellent performances, breathtaking sets and a beautiful love story. Ewan McGregor's performance is truly amazing. Not only is his singing fabulous, but he plays Christian with total abandonment and passion. He moves me and also deserved an Oscar nod. Nicole Kidman's performance is gutsy and heartfelt.The DVD of the movie comes with many extras that definitely make it worth the money. First off, make sure that you have a surround sound system. It's is the only way to really appreciate the music. The musical documentary portion is very interesting and gives an idea of the work that went into selecting the songs for the movie. I also recommend watching the movie with the commentary from Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin. It provides great insight into the movie making process. If you saw the movie in the theater and didn't like it, I recommend trying the DVD. Watch it with an open mind and you won't be disappointed!

Summary: kaleidoscopic vision
Review: Truly a spectacular work of sound and vision that keeps you tapping your feet and on the edge of your seat throughout. Any film that features the beautiful and talented Nicole Kidman with a soundtrack including David Bowie and Elton John (among others) is worth the time. Soon enough you are swept up in the energy and fusion of total entertainment. The performances are hyperkinetic and mesmerizing while the visuals are stunning. This movie is pure fun!

Summary: Fantastic
Review: Moulin Rouge is a definite hit. The bright colors will leave you spinning and the wonderful music will leave you swooning. It's a little hard to follow at first, but the beautiful voice of Ewan McGregor is worth the entire movie itself.

Summary: This movie is truthful, beautiful, free, and lovely!
Review: This is an amazing movie in every aspect. I love it dearly. Ewan McGregor, Jim Broadbent, and Nicole's Kidman's performances are spectacular! I had no idea McGregor could sing so well! This movie has more color, beauty, and joy than any other movie I have ever seen. I could hardly contain myself. I wasn't prepared for this movie. When I first saw it, I was like a rich little kid in a candy store. I couldn't blink. The duet between Ewan and Nicole in the elephant is absolutely triumphant! I have no problem at all with the movie borrowing songs from various famous musicians; I would consider the manner in which they are presented nothing but flattering. Ba Luhrmann did a fantastic job directing this movie. The dances are wonderfully choreographed, and the fanatically frantic onslaught of quick cuts provides high, awesome energy. All you need to know about the plot is that Ewan McGregor is a romantic playwright looking for his first big hit, and once he coincidentally gets his shot, the movie takes off like a rocket into space. You have to see this movie. It's so great!!! It's one of the best movies of 2001; and one of my all-time favorites.

Summary: At first we walked out on it... WRONG MOVE
Review: I went to see this with my wife, and after the first half hour we decided it was a little too "out there" for us, and we left. Once on DVD, I decided to give it another chance, and though the first 45 minutes is a little weird, it starts to grow on you. But after that is where it really takes off. In the end it was one of the most moving movies of the year to me. Full of MUSIC and life! I bought the DVD and love it. At least no one lives next door, or they'd probably complain about me singing along with it in full voice. Don't be surprised if you find yourself doing the same thing. As an added note, I feel the DTS track on it is slightly fuller and more rewarding. I definitely recommend this DVD.

Summary: A cinematic masterpiece- Bursting with movement and color!
Review: This is one of the best films of 2001- the most vibrant and beautiful movie I have ever seen on the silver screen. I bought it as soon as it came out on DVD, and I watch it whenever it's on HBO (which is often). Even after seeing it for the 500th time, I still am amazed by the phenomenal singing by Ewan Mcgreggor and Nicole Kidman, and this being Kidman's singing debute! If nothing else, buy it for the humour of the first half, or the sadness of the last (for those who like a good cry). Over all, this is movie magic, so buy it and love it!:)
