Summary: Maudlin Romp
Review: This is one of the WORST movies I have ever seen - 70, 80 and 90's music in a Renaissance piece? Plus the story was depressing and stupid. Just shows how much Hollywood critics are out of touch with reality that they gave high honors to this film! Event the lumunous Nicole Kidman can't save this movie.

Summary: Best of 2002
Review: I loved this movie & I do not feel that I was "deceived" by "mediocre art". I just can't understand why those who don't like it insist that those who did are fools. Some people just don't get it and some people do. What's wrong with that?

Summary: the best musical!!!!!
Review: the only reason i wanted to see this movie was because ewan mcgregor was in it. i was glad that it turned out to be a good movie. i thought they did an excellent job making it and picking the actors they did to star in it. i think that if you don't like musicals you still should give it a chance. the story line itself is pretty good. and the music?? well, they did use alot of lyrics that i'm sure you would know.

Summary: Just for the record...
Review: Though I don't usually feel the need to totally knock a movie in these reviews, I have to go on record saying this is one of the WORST movies I think I have ever seen. Me and the friends who went with me to the movie theater were telling ourselves, "Maybe it'll get better..." It didn't. The music is too repetive, unoriginal, and the camera work will make you dizzy. I love musicals for the most part but this was genuinely awful and if possible I wouldn't even give it the one star I had to.

Summary: Jus' writin to celebrate the release in the U.K in 4 days!
Review: Wow! I adore this movie so much that when I read a bad review I feel almost offended!
How could anybody not be captivated by such a masterpiece?
I have to say, Moulin Rouge was so refreshing after such dull films as The English Patient! And I cannot believe that the movie didnt recieve as many complementary reviews in the U.S as in the U.K, us Brits loved it!
The film was a mix of colour, music and the eye candy known only as Ewan McGregor! He brought to the movie a heartfelt performance that affected everyone in teh cinema around me.
Who can forget crying until sodden in tears at the end of the movie....
A final breath, 'The show must go on'

Summary: The Best In A Looooong While
Review: Like most people I was really skeptic upon seeing this movie. The trailer didn't look too promising so I waited for it to come out on DVD and decided to rent it instead. At first it didn't seem like it was going to be much of anything but once it got going it simply blew me away. Upon viewing you'd never imagine this movie to be as deep as it is. On all parts the acting is magnificant and the singing is easy to follow yet gorgeously breath-taking. They use classic songs like The Sound Of Music while also blending more modern songs ranging from Nirvana to Madonna to Lamb. I was also quite impressed to know that all the actors used their own voices instead of lip singing to professionals. Honestly, though, they all have amazing voices. You'd never once think that they were inexperienced. I mean, where in the world has Nicole Kidman been hiding? She's a much better singer than Jennifer Lopez yet she's so overlooked. Anyways, I especially enjoyed the hindu dance sequence towards the end with Nicole singing "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend" in a very modern fashion. And while all this may seem a tad eccentric it all works quite well together.
This movie certainly deserves many oscars, including best picture. It's got comedy, romance, suspense, obsession, jealousy, love, confusion...while all remaining light and humerous. So the jest of this story is about how a popular courtisan (Nicole Kidman) whom entertains in the famous Moulin Rouge is caught between following her heart by staying with the man she loves (Ewan McGregor) whom is a writer in poverty or by following her dreams of marrying a wealthy Duke whom has promised to make her a star... The DVD is much better than the VHS for it includes a lot of extra features such as behind-the-scenes footage as well as interviews with the stars and muscisians. You can also click on your favorite songs and dance scenes without having to rewind or fastforward like you would with the VHS. So if you haven't seen this movie yet than I suggest you do, even if you strongly beleive that this is going to be a silly musical. P.S. - The ending will shock you greatly.

Summary: Fun! Fun! Fun!
Review: Nothing short of a great time watching (experiencing) this movie.
Photographically stunning, musically thrilling as Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor actually do all of their own singing in the movie. Baz Luhrmann, you got gipped, what a wonderful directing job!

Summary: Innovative filming + Old musicals=GREAT
Review: This film is one of those that stays with you. Whether it's the music or the camera shots, whether you love it or hate it (and there's no middle ground), this is a memorable film. It's perfect for those of us who remember watching old musicals with our parents (or you were the parents) and have wondered for years why they weren't made any more. Plus it's so lush-the colors, the fabrics, the whole feel (yes, very Bohemian in a way). The soundtrack is a must-own and the dance sequences are amazing.

Summary: EWAN McGREGOR IS INSPIRING!!!!!!!!!
Review: If you love a good movie that includes a very hot guy that can sing like you have never heard before? Than this is the movie for you!!!! At the beginning you have no idea what going on till you get to "Your Song." Why you ask? because Ewan sucks you in with his amazing voice and beautiful smile that will melt an iceberg!! I don't care about Nicole Kidman, Ewan was the one you'll be watching the most, and I think he was the main character not her! While watching this movie I got goose bumbs sooooo bad, especially during "Le Tang de Roxanne," this song was so powerful to me it just moved me and this song made me love this movie. Don't download it right now you have to wait to see it until you can love it! I can't tell you why to watch this movie, but in the end you'll be glad you did. After watching this movie I am inspired to become an actor hopefully as good as Ewan. GO WATCH THIS MOVIE AND CHEER EWAN McGREGOR ON!!!!!!
