Summary: I loved Chicago
Review: I thought I would like the movie because it is a musical. I normally do like musicals. But I loved this movie. I loved the songs and the dancing. I think those were the best parts. I did not think I would like it so much. Richard Gere surprised the crap out of me. I did not think he could do what he did. He was great. They all were. I would recommend this movie to everyone.

Summary: I adored it
Review: Oh, man. My friends and I went laser bowling and then went to a friend's house for a sleepover and to watch a movie. We decided on Chicago and it is one of the best movies I have ever seen. The music was what made the movie. (Who knew Gere could sing? And fantasitcally at that) We watched the movie, but then we rewound it again and again to one musical number. It was "They had it coming". We watched that part alone 4 times. Definitely buy this movie and then buy the soundtrack.

Summary: For once, believe the hype.
Review: So many people had told me how wonderful this film was, and i will admit, i was curious to see exactly what all the fuss was about. And i have to say, i was highly impressed. This film more then won me over, it was one of those movies that, after seeing it once, i knew i would have to buy and add to my collection.The story is pretty simple. Roxy Hart dreams of becoming a star. And when she is used and tossed aside by someone who swore they would help her make her dream come true, she ends up in jail for killing them. Her way of handling difficult situations, is to transport herself, and those around her, into these elaborate musical numbers. And these musical interludes don't slow the actual story down at all, as is the case in some more recent attempts at movie-musicals...they in fact are without a doubt, the highlights of this movie. The actors more then shine in their respective roles...especially Zellweger, who until this movie, has done nothing but grate on my nerves. Here she makes the character of Roxy her own, and lights up the screen. In fact, the casting is just about perfect...with each person giving an incredible performance. "Chicago" is one of those extremely rare films, that's hard to find anything to complain about. Everything from the costumes, lighting and direction go together beautifully, and you feel as if you're transported into their world. and it manages to do what i didn't think was possible...bring the classic movie musical back to life.

Summary: Glitz but no gold
Review: Choppy and jarring best describe the transitions between "reality" and the production numbers. Renee Zellweger looked and acted like a concentration camp survivor while Catherine Z-Jones waist (post pregnancy?) was poorly disguised by the hourglass costumes, although her dancing was excellent and her songs solid. Richard Gere is the surprise standout with excellent songs and dance routines.
The un-morality tale seemed stilted and bizarre with little emotional depth. It continues jerkly along until the finale that is probably the worst song and dance number of the movie. The DVD is saved from even a worse rating (2 stars) by the solid and entertaining back up given by the supporting characters. Needless to say this title didn't make it in to my collection and unless you are a Broadway Jazz junky it shouldn't be in yours.

Summary: Unmusiical
Review: The 1920's produced so much superb music in America.
Sadly the music in Chicago sounds as if it's been generated by an abysmally programmed computer. No heart, no soul, no genuine period flavour.
Very disappointing.

Summary: Horrible Waste of money
Review: Elaborate sets, noisy, lots of singing and dancing by people who could not sing or dance. I found myself groaning every time a music/dance number started. These routines seemed to drag, and were very repetitious. I don't understand all the raving about this movie.

Summary: NOT Impressed.....
Review: Granted the dancing in this movie was keeping my attention,(thats it !)...but I didn't care of this movie at all! They made way too much of a BIG deal over nothing. I couldn't wait for the movie to be over with and I couldn't believe THIS was the movie I was waiting to rent & SEE !!!! DIDN"T LIKE IT AT ALL!!!! I DIDN'T EVEN WANTED TO GIVE THIS MOVIE 1 star. : (

Summary: excellent performances
Review: Chicago shines with excellent performances by both its lead and supporting cast. Catherine Zeta-Jones is Velma, the famous stage actress turned murderess who lights up the jail as she lit up the stage. Renee Zellweger is Roxie, the show biz wannabe who is also accused of murder and who begins to steal the limelight from Velma; Zellweger does an excellent job of portraying Roxie's progress from innocent to ingenue. Richard Gere is the savvy lawyer, Billy Flynn, who will use any trick in the book to get both women off. All of the lead cast members have solo song and dance numbers, and all are impressive--surprisingly, even Gere. Supporting cast members with their own solo numbers include John C. Reilly as Roxie's husband and Queen Latifah as the jail matron; both actors are perfect embodiments of their characters. Despite the many wonderful performances, I didn't feel I could give the movie a 5-star rating, as it just didn't "wow" me the way that other excellent movie musicals have, both recent (Moulin Rouge) and past (West Side Story). However, this is certainly a well-done film that is worth seeing.

Summary: Best musical ever! who cares if they are murderers?!
Review: I used to hate musicals. They were always so sweet and nice, with all these happy little songs...they made me want to throw up. I have only seen a few musicals I actually liked, and those are the ones that have a dark edge to them, like the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and now CHICAGO! I loved Chicago because it wasn't all sweet and nice. Yes, for all those of you out there who hated it, it does NOT have a moral to the story. It is not about morality. It is making fun of the justice system. For all of you hypocrites out there, a movie doesn't have to have a moral. Just look at wonderful movies like Mel Gibson's Payback, and all other movies like it out there. you can either root for the bad guy or.. the bad guy! so what if the murderous singer/dancers get off and make a fortune off of their crimes? At least they do it with style. And yes, I was sad too that the only nice guy in the movie got thrown away by Roxie, but better that than being stuck with her! People shouldn't take things like this so seriously, and shouldn't walk into the movie expecting to get a sweet morality tale just because it happens to be a musical.

Summary: Terrible
Review: Any movie with Queen Latifa (sp?) in at can't be that good.
