Summary: Get off the drugs!
Review: This has got to be the worst movie I have ever seen. From the opening scene to the point of "Like a Virgin", where I walked out, the movie is a total waste. Unfortunatley I did follow the majority of the crowd who walked during the first 15 minutes of the film. Nicole and the entire cast and crew should lay off the drugs and get back to earth. Unfortunately Nicole's character did not die soon enough and spare the audience the pain of this horrible screeching and howling.

Summary: I don't want to see any other summer movies after this one!
Review: Moulin Rouge KICKS! They have not made a film like this since DeMille was alive! Ignore the hype, ignore the really bad trailers (made me not want to see it - I was dragged to it) - Just GO SEE IT. This is what movies are all about! Just trust me - go see it. Logoff right now and go see it. I'm not kidding - go see it right now! You will thank me - trust me!And what you will really like is how many of the lines refer to pop songs from the past several decades, and gets away with it! In fact, it actually adds a bit of flavor that I don't think would work in any other movie by any other screenwriter. The costumes were great, the makeup wonderful, the script unlike anything ever produced in the past 20-30 years (in a very good sense), and the cinematography and editing being absolutely astounding to the point that you will be floored. It is THAT GOOD. Go see it.

Summary: A wild ride in eclectic wonderland
Review: Gilbert, Sullivan and Andrew Lloyd Weber drop acid, watch Rocky Horror Picture Show, then write the screenplay for Moulin Rouge. A frantic explosion of color, action, song, and dance blends, inexorably, into a tense story of love steeped in obsessive jealousy all of which can be stopped by death. I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. I found myself laughing on the edge of my seat. Nicole and Ewan are terrific and are surrounded by an amazing and enchanting cast of characters.

Summary: It's like watching the magic of theater spring forth to life
Review: Moulin Rouge portrays a classic love story of two people who fall in love and learned that the best things you learn in life is "to love and be loved in return." The songs of this movie sounds like the soundtrack of the earlier Disney hits like Beauty and The Beast and The Little Mermaid. It is well writen and lifts up the atmosphere of love for this movie. Watch this if you want to get inspired by true love.

Summary: Oh la la!
Review: Moulin Rouge is more than a movie. It's a spectacle that engulfs the audience long after the two hour running time expires. The film leaps off the screen and puts moviegoers into a front row seat at the legendary Moulin Rouge. Of course the stars of the film, Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor, play a huge role in bringing to life the bohemian world of Paris. The chemistry from the two leads ignite sparks that enthrall audiences and inspires the general theme of the movie, love. The story is fitting for the context of the film, but at times the sets, costumes, dance choreography, and music can distract you from the story. None the less, Moulin Rouge excels at every level of originality. Put off seeing Pearl Harbor, and go see the fantastic Moulin Rouge!

Summary: Incredible!
Review: I watched it on its premier day. It was exhilarating! Although I have to say that it was also kind of weird in some places...but I enjoyed it a lot. Since I got the soundtrack already, I got to know where the songs fit, and I found the songs very nice and fit the scenes. Ewan McGregor really can sing! Honestly, maybe you won't want to watch it again, but I STRONGLY recommand you to watch it at least once! It was very funny, too. People laughed very loud in the theater.

Summary: Moulin Rogue Sets The Screen Ablaze
Review: To begin, I went into the theater with extremely high expectations of this film, in hopes that I would leave the theater with a smile upon my face and a feeling of satisfaction for the months I have been waiting to see this film. All dreams and expectations were fulfilled in the two hours which I sat in the theater. From the first frame to the final image of the curtain and the conductor I sat in awe and silence as the movie enveloped me into its world. In left the theater in a hurry to go and see if I could sneak into another theater to see it again. In short, this is a true masterpiece. Baz Luhrmann, of Romeo + Juliet fame, here introduces us to his own Romeo (Christian) and Juliet (Satine) the sparkling diamond in the crown that is the Moulin Rouge. The film begins with Christian, a young writer, leaving his home in England and going to Paris to live the bohemian lifestyle. Truth, Beauty, Freedom, and above all things Love. Soon we are introduced to Toulouse-Lautrec (Leguizamo), a midget who is also an actor and seeker of the bohemian revolution. As the show goes on we learn how Lautrec was hired with his troop to write a show for the Moulin Rogue. However, when Christian is asked to assist in the production, the writer leaves and Christian is left as the sole writer. Soon after, the group of men go to the Moulin Rouge gentlemen's-club of sorts, where they meet up with Zidler, the manager of the club. This opening shot of the club is the first visceral onslaught of many. It is a wild tornado of sweeping camera shots and fluid shots which come together in a bit of a mess, but by the end of the film one becomes use to Luhrmann's nutty styles and artistic choices. When the first dance is over, Satine descends from the ceiling and so begins the tale of mistaken identity, where Satine thinks that the Duke, who is the man who will be paying to transform the Moulin Rouge into a theater, is actually Christian. From this point on the film begins to show us how one can have comedy and drama exist in perfect harmony. The film goes on in a roller coaster ride of sorts, twisting and turning and through it all we sit back, enjoy, smile, frown, and are relived in the end, yet, like any good roller coaster, we want to go back again. Every single shot in this film is a picture stolen from the hidden safes of the worlds greatest artists, or perhaps the worlds greatest artist has simply opened his safe and shown the whole world his vision. Baz Luhrmann takes on classic pieces of music like, Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend to Your Song by Elton John, to modern classics like Nirvanas "Smells Like Teen Spirit" to Sting's "Roxanne". Moulin Rogue is an escape from the ordinary and makes us remember why we go the theater. This film, hopefully, will be accepted by all facets of the industry, and with any luck films which intertwine old and new styles as this one has, will be made more often. In my mind Moulin Rouge is an instant classic which takes bold risks and pushes the envelope of what we consider good and what we consider outlandish together in one film that is far beyond good and a film which will hopefully affect the future of film making. In short, I loved this film and I intend to see many more times. If you see one picture this year or any year, Moulin Rouge should be it.
