Summary: Unusual, Yet.....
Review: Some call it MTV Movie, others call it Masala Movie. It certainly is very unusual, yet I don't remember enjoying watching movie as I did with this movie for sometime. This is a pure entertainment filled with music and dance, eye-poping sets, costume and effects. DVD makes it even better with throwing in an extra disc that contains not only behind the scene stuffs, but dance scenes and of course "Lady Marmalade" in two versions, a music video and a performance from MTV Music Award.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Musical Masterpeice!!
Review: This particular film is loaded with music, dance and colorful charectors. Based on the Orphean myth this startstudded cast brings the screen to life in this nonstop party. No rules, no limits, only on rule... never fall in love. Welcome to the Moulin Rouge.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My Absolute Fave Movie!!
Review: I've seen a lot of movies, but none can compare to Moulin Rouge, starring my favorite starlett Nicole Kidman. The music, romance, freedom, beauty, and all the other wonderful aspects that create Moulin Rouge make it my number one fave movie! The moment I saw it, i fell in love with the story and the music. I immediatly bought the soundtrack and have all the songs memorized! But what I love most about the movie would have to be Nicole Kidman. Me and my best friend are absolutley in love with her. She is my idol! She's gorgeous, a talented actress, a loving mother, and a talented singer. If it weren't for this movie, the world might never have discovered the singing star in Nicole. The plot shows that love can prevail through anything. The best line is how Christian, Ewan McGregor, lives his life: "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return." I saw the movie for a second time, and the ending of the movie still made me cry. This movie is the best I've ever seen, and anyone who loves to love, sing, dance, and e entertained will agree with me!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Spactacular!
Review: It was great when I saw it in the cinema, but it is even better when I finally (!!) got to see all the special features on the amazing 2 pack DVD!
I didn't know that they recorded LIVE! WOW! What a talent!
Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor can easily switch to singing careers, what a voice!
And the colors, the production... There's no word good enough to describe it!
Spactacular!

Summary: Fascinatingly spectacular
Review: Anyone who had watched Australian director Baz Luhrman's previous two films were doubtless highly anticipating his third film 'Moulin Rouge'. It's a brash and colourful assault on the sound and the senses. Beautiful, camp and tragic, 'Moulin Rouge' swept up at the box office and revived what everyone thought was a dead genre.

Ewan McGreggor and Nicole Kidman play leading roles as the poor song writer and the gorgeous courtesan. He loves her but she is bound to a rich and evil lord in order to both jumpstart her acting career and save the Moulin Rouge from bankruptcy. Kidman as Satine is fantastic, with McGreggor hardly worse and Jim Broadbent as the head of the Moulin Rouge itself being great too. Although the story itself is riddled with clichés and plot-holes, it's so utterly mesmerising that you can't fail to be taken in. It's also one of those few films that makes you pay attention to its choreography and music, both of which are the best to be seen in any film released in the past year.

The leads' vocals are stupendous, with Kidman later furthering her talents by attaining an English Christmas Number 1 with Robbie Williams and the song 'Something Stupid'. The dance scenes in the Moulin Rouge are equally fantastic, with many people calling attention to the 'Roxanne' sequence. However, there are other scenes which can only be described as magical, such as the medley of songs that McGreggor uses to serenade Kidman in her room (a huge white china elephant). Visually this is beautiful, and this combines well with a collection of recent pop hits such as Elton John's 'Your Song' and 'Lady Marmalade' by Christina Aguilera and co.

Whichever way you look at it, this is a winner and its biggest success is appealing a whole new generation to musicals by bringing them into the 21st century with style.

Summary: Worst movie ever!!!!!!!!
Review: People told me how bad it was but I just didn't believe. Once I saw the movie (actually just half because I could't stand it) I understood what everybody meant. Stay away from it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Todo bien excepto...
Review: La película, la música, el audio, el empaque, los extras son excelentes. Lo que no me gustó es el "Widescreen" porque las siluetas de las personas se ven estiradas y aplanadas. Revisé la configuración de mi reproductor de DVD y estaba normal ... además otros DVDs "Widescreen" se ven bien !!. O es que la película original es así ?

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Simply Awful!
Review: A melange of paper-thin plot, garish turn-of-the-century costumes and contemporary music (melange is, of course, the French word for "hopeless mess presented artistically"). The Hollywood hype machine seems desperate to laud this drivel until Niclole Kidman receives an Oscar (perhaps part of her divorce settlement with Tom Cuise, or perhaps just public sympathy run amok) but don't you be fooled. If you feel absolutely compelled to waste two hours of your life, try David Lynch's equally stylish but incomprehensible two-hour Twin Peaks finale instead. It also has midgets and velvet drapes, but at least the midgets talk backwards and no one sings "The Sound of Music." Or drink a bottle of absinthe instead.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not for the closed-minded
Review: There were some critics who said that this movie had little or no emotion tied in with the innovative special effects. I couldn't agree less. The entire production is about nothing but emotion, and I must confess that in the five-day period I rented it from the video store it hardly left the VCR at all. I wish there were more than five stars to use.
However, I will definitely say that it is a love-it-or-hate-it situation. If one word was necessary to describe the entire product I would use "bizarre," but if you're ready for a creative and new look at an otherwise commonplace plot, Moulin Rouge should be seen by everyone.

Rating: 5 stars
