Summary: Welcome...TO THE BEST EXPERIENCE OF YOUR LIFE!
Review: Moulin Rouge is by far my most favorite movie. The acting was way beyond great and so was the singing. Nicole Kidman did a great job as Satine and Ewen McGregor also played his part of Christian extremely well. Both of their voices were wonderful and they have a great chemistry together on-screen.
The DVD of this movie is greatly put together. The extras are SPECTACULAR, SPECTACULAR. The deleted scenes are hysterical. You can also watch dance rehearsals, interviews with the actors, music video of Come What May, behind-the-scenes footage, and much much more fantastic stuff. Also the picture quality is 5 out of 5 stars and the same with the sound.
The movie is about a lonely young man you goes to Paris in 1899. when he arrives he gets a room with a view of the Moulin Rouge. Then a "unconcious Argentienian" fell through his roof and the fun starts there. When Christian arrives at the Moulin rouge he falls in love with Satine. As the story goes on it gets a lot more serious. The whole end part is a tear-jerker but I don't want to say anymore. I think you should just go out and buy the DVD without even seeing the movie first because I know you will be please like I was. SO IF YOU CAN HUNK HUNKADOLA WITH ME!!!

Summary: Immediately joined my all time top 10 list
Review: I'll try not to be too wordy, although its difficult given how I feel about this film. My fiancee and I bought the DVD based on positive reviews. We sat down to watch it expecting some harmless, escapist fun. Instead we were stunned by the beauty and sincerity of the story and the performances, which left us in tears. As a former actor who has performed in musicals in the past, I know how difficult it is to communicate real moments and emotions rather than broad portrayals. The cast did this wonderfully, lead by the brilliant performances of Nicole and Ewan. Their abiltiy to convey emotional intensity through a simple look, facial expression or movement was awe inspiring.In addition, Baz is a visual genious of a director and the DVD is loaded with enough entertaining and enlightening extras to keep you busy for weeks. In short, BUY THIS DVD!

Summary: Please spare Dumas
Review: I just want to comment on how strange it is that many reviewers (even apparently professional ones) don't seem do notice that the plot of Moulin Rouge is a deliberate retelling of La Dame aux camélias or Camille by Dumas. Its part and parcel of this clever movie's dance through clichés and irony and an integral part of the movie's finely woven structure. Anyway please spare Dumas, I've never heard his famous storyline (used countless times since he wrote it, for instance in Verdi's La Traviata) thrashed as often as in these reviews of Moulin Rouge.

Summary: Beauty from start to finish!
Review: Not only are the visuals beautifuly presented, the two main stars are great on the eyes. Nicole Kidman looks and sounds spectacular, the same can be said for Ewan Mcgregor who has a great boyish charm about him. The chemistry between the stars is wonderful and the songs make you want to get up and dance. Overall a very enterntaining and beautiful love story. Im sure I will be watching it numerous times.

Summary: High-Kicking To the Stars
Review: While watching this movie, I've found that it is almost impossible to not get drawn into the plot and the amazing characters that drive this movie skyward. The effects are spectacular, the dancing phenomenal, and the music and sets are simply stunning. Hats off to Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor for their performances, which are nothing less than oscar-worthy. Baz Luhrmann has taken a genre that has been fading rapidly throughout the past several decades, and has brought the movie musical back in a way that could only be done by him. This movie redefines what a musical should be with its classic tragic love story, wonderful songs, and exotic setting. Moulin Rouge clearly shows us how love triumphs over all within the exotic arena of one of the most risque nightclubs of the world. The eccentricity of the cast as well as the high-energy pace that this movie moves at is a complement to the director and the cast, who truly developed this movie into one that will not soon be forgotten. As a musician, I applaud the hard work and talent that it takes to make a movie musical, and I have to say that this is one of the best portrayals I have seen in a long time. the glamour of the Moulin Rouge along with the music of today truly makes this a movie worth remembering.;

Summary: Loved it!
Review: I hate musicals, when i saw the trailer for Moulin Rouge i thought that it was a stylish drama film, but then i saw it was a musical and i said "Oh, no"", but i saw it and it's really good, the acting is fantastic, the visuals are too, the soundtrack is wonderful and tells the story in a very appropiate way, too bad it only maked 57 million bucks at the box office

Summary: Short-attention-span theater
Review: Frenetic, derivative, and utterly superficial. Luhrmann should stick to meatier scripts (I greatly enjoyed 'Romeo and Juilet'). Injection of Top 40 lyrics every six and a half minutes coupled with an absolute ceiling of 6 seconds per shot gives the edited work all the appeal of chewing gum. Can't fault the cast, choreographers, etc., as this was obviously a failure of writing, direction, editing, and possibly cinematrography. Sober and bored, I bailed in under a half an hour.

Summary: Don't give up on it
Review: Ive read a lot of the more negative reviews, and I am dissapointed in them. They say they walked away in the first 15 minutes. And yet they feel they have a right to review the film and give it one star. This is not only stupid, it is also incredibly misleading. So yes, in the first 30 minutes or so, they dont jump right into the plot, it takes it's time showing you the style of the movie. And granted, it certainly isin't for everyone. So I could understand why one would maybe give up on it. But if you know anything about movies, the first 30 minutes dont make the film. It's something new, something fresh, and something rather insane, yet wondrful at the same time. The acting is fine, nothing great, but doesn't contract from the film at all. The music is very grand, and very fun. The visual style of it is incredible, bold, inventive, and was my favorite aspect of the film. The story is great I thought, very simplistic and one thats been told before, but still good nonetheless. Its a good experience, and a good musical. While it definetly isin't for everyone, if you just keep an open mind and go with the flow, you'll have a lot of fun with it.

Summary: I know this is going to draw a little fire but...
Review: ...I honestly didn't feel that the film contained the amount of depth that it could have held quite easily. Ewan McGregor is brilliant in his role as Christian whose idyllic outlook is bombarded by the excess and debauchery of the outside world. His innocent demeanour is captured wonderfully in each screen shot; especially in one scene where he mistakes sexual overtones for serious conversation. He puts a lot of heartfelt longing into every scene and his singing talent is astounding to say the least and Nicole Kidman is a fairly good vocalist as well. But it ends there, sadly. Art is substituted by frenetic editing and the sense of being "overwhelmed" is not so much about what is encapsulated in an image during a scene, but the limited time that you have to see it. Chaotic? Ok, I sensed that...over and over and over until I felt like speaking up by shouting, "All right, I get it. Please move on." The scene involving the Duke's realization behind the musical farce mirroring his own experience was so weakly reminiscent of a similar scene in Hamlet--though unintentional--that it made me wonder if there was much in the way of ORIGINAL thought in this film. Okay, admittedly the use of modern pop music as dialogue in this film is clever, but it was written by others! I can sit in a library and pull out 100 unrelated books, pull out quotes, and make a movie by stringing these quotes along in a maddening, dizzying spiral of unrelated sentiment. Some may think that's unfair, but it's TRUE. All the other characters in the film were grotesque to the point that it's no wonder that Satine and Christian appear to be perfectly normal people. It's like holding gold up next to mud, really; and another example where excess can feel like a hammer to the face as opposed to the "subtlety" that others imply or state in other reviews. However, 3 stars...given the film's flaws, it still remains in its own right a very different film. Guaranteed, though, that you will not see its like again. ....
