Summary: Overrated
Review: I had this movie on DVD for ages, but never gotten around to watching it. When my friend came over on Friday night, she decided it was time we both finally saw it. What a dissapointment. After hearing so much about this movie, I expected much more. Even if I had heard nothing of this movie, I would have found it bad. While both actors are beautiful, that is not enough to make a good movie for me. Some of the songs were good, yes. But I don't buy the idea of their ove. Christian (Ewan) is in love with the idea of love; then, he sees her, the most beautiful woman in the Moulin Rouge, and, surprise surprise, falls in love. She mistakes him for a Duke, he sings her "Your Song", and she falls in love. He comes back later, they kiss, they're so in love. The movie continues to show us the couple making out and declaring their love for each other, but when did their love devolpe? Call me unromantic, but I don't buy their "love at first sight" exusce. Love does not stand on looks alone. And Satine's sickness seems like a lame exucse for more drama. As for the music, while I understand it was meant to be deep how there's music from the 1990's in a movie taking place in the 1900's, again, I don't buy it. To me, it just seemed out-of-place. Come on, was it really that hard to find a soundtrack for this film?

Summary: "La Traviata" on Acid
Review: The storyline of this "Moulin Rouge" borrows heavily from "La Traviata," which in turn was based on "La Dame aux Camelias" -- a tragic love story about a tuberculosis-stricken courtesan who ... well, if you haven't seen the movie, I won't spoil it for you. And in any case, the storyline is there just to hang eye-popping, extravagant musical numbers on. None of it is very believable, but it's fun in a trippy, overblown way. The 1960s-80s music works surprisingly well with the stylized 1900-era setting ("Paris as imagined by Tim Burton," in one reviewer's words) and the performances are entertaining. Ewan MacGregor is a bit too low-key -- I would have loved to see Jim Carrey in the role of Christian -- but otherwise the cast carries out their assignments quite well. I'll give this a low 4 stars.

Summary: Horrible!!! Doesn't even deserve a star!
Review: I agree you either love this or you absolutely hate it. I hate it. I love musicals ~ I grew up on Rodgers and Hammerstein. I had to force myself to watch this. I felt the music was terrible ~ I felt the singing wasn't great ~ I didn't feel that Nicole Kidman had a strong enough voice for the part. If I could have chosen zero stars that is what I would have picked. If you never see this you are not missing much.

Summary: BEST MOVIE OF 2001
Review: This was the best movie of the year! This movie was totally robbed at the Oscars. Like it or hate it, it's a great movie, so face it!
U read the summary, so u know the story--Nicole Kidman is a courtesan at the Moulin Rouge, who captures the fancy of a pennless poet named Christian, played by brillant Scottish actor Ewan McGregor. This movie is both Ewan's and Nicole best movie yet.
Moulin Rouge is a feast for the eyes and ears. Both Ewan and Nicole sing excellent(considering they had to song live; this movie was NOT a voiceover musical), and are both appealing to look at and listen to...
But, if u don't have a great imagination or are creative (hey, some people aren't), then this movie isn't for you. But give this GREAT movie a try, you never know. I didn't see this movie in the theathers, because I thought it looked too in-your-face, but when it came out on DVD--I feel in love w/ it.

Summary: total joke
Review: Everything about this movie is bad the music is awful the acting beyond awful and just everything is a joke. I hated it it was so boring I would never see this ever again. If you want a good musical see Chicago it's alot better.

Summary: great dvd ! highly recommended
Review: Aside from being a wonderful love story this movie is wonderfully artistic. The music is beautifully romantic as well as great to dance to. The dvd itself has a lot of extra special features. The colors and effects are phenominal.
