Summary: I absolutly love this movie!
Review: At first I thought this movie was going to be long and boring about an old night club, but actully it keeps you glued to your seat!I especially like the way that there is alot of variety in it. By that I mean it has singing, dancing, crying, laughing, supence and love. The songs are fabulous. Ewan Mc Greggor and Nicole Kidman have GREAT voices. When you see this movie give it a chance before running into your room. It's a really great movie if you give it a chance. P.S. It's better the second time!
My advise to you is to Go see this movie. At the end of this movie you leave with some great things to think about, truth, beauty,freedom and above all things love.

Summary: Fodder for the Addled Minded
Review: This is an example of totally inept filmmaking. However, impressionistic it is. My impression was that it was a good imitation of pseudo art-house fodder complete with affected acting and even less effective singing by its two stars. This is definitely not my parents' idea of a musical nor anyone else's of sound mind for that matter. To think that members of a certain organization even considered this film for any award belittles the very legitimacy of award giving in general.

Summary: A charming and brilliant Film.
Review: Moulin Rouge is quite a film to behold. It's a technically stunning achievement that really gives you more than you really deserve. It's not only a brilliant musical but a really tender love story that is uplifting and tragic. Nicole Kidman and Ewan Mcgregor are amazing as the hopeless romantics and John Leuizamo is really funny as the Ewan Mcgregor's friend and sidekick. The Directing by Baz Luhrmann is great, and the cinematography by John O'Connell is breathtaking. If you want to put a smile on your face, Moulin Rouge is the movie to put it.

Summary: Pretty good, but not the best
Review: To begin with this movie deserved four stars, but I gave it 5 because a lot of people were giving it one star.

I saw something where someone was complaining about the surreal effect, but I think that may have been the desired effect of the movie.

My favorite part of the movie is the music. The blending of turn of the century style and modern pop hits is wonderfully executed.

Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor did beautifully both in acting and in singing, who knew either of them could sing so well. I consider Baz Luhrmann to be an excellent director, and if you liked Moulin Rouge you should also check out Romeo + Juliet.

Finally there were several parts of the movie that didn't add up and perhaps they should have been left out (the green fairy scene, particularly), but all in all I do not believe that the movie deserves the harsh ratings I've seen.

I guess Moulin Rouge is one of those movies you either love or hate, but I think you also owe it to yourself to watch it. Who knows you may love it.

Summary: Reseña de Moulin Rouge
Review: En los primeros minutos de Moulin Rouge, parece ser que dicha película te llevará por un camino triste, melancólico y sin color, a un paso lento y pesado. Pero en un instante, el mundo de Moulin Rouge, que se ha convertirdo sin darnos cuenta en el nuestro, apropia todos los colores de tentación y arranca sin límite de velocidad.

La historia tome su lugar en París, Francia, en el año 1899. Llega Crístian, un joven pobre, a la ciudad, lleno de ilusiones de ser compositor de teatro. Se hospeda en un hotel de actores bohémios. En poco tiempo y por casualidad, el joven conoce a una bella y talentosa cantante, nombrada Satín, que sueña con ser una actríz respetada, pero quien por ahora trabaja en un teatro, el Moulin Rouge, que realmente es un burdel. Al conocerce los dos jóvenes se enamoran al ritmo de canciones modernas, interpretadas por ellos mismos. Todo está bien hasta que un duque desagradable pero rico y poderoso exige los amores de Satín o terminará con el Moulin Rouge. Necesitan su dinero para invertir en una presentación escrito por Crístian, que hará a Satín famosa, y aquí comienza el verdadero problema.

Es un cuento de amor de verdad, y tragédia profunda, melodías originales a pesar de que no son, con la belleza de ensenarios encantadores. El cuarto donde se conocen, el teatro donde trabajan, los trajes en que se visten, su color y el material, todo es una exageración de exceso. Los detalles dorados, la música embriagadora, el romance dulce y amarga, el peligro presente y alrededor constante, todo nos lleva a un final turbulento y a la véz perfecto. Tanta emoción tan rápido te dejará con una sensación de cansáncio en el corazon, pero un cansáncio bello y musical.

Summary: the future of the musical.
Review: i think i understand why so many people hate this movie, there is not much dancing and it seems to be edited in only in fast-motion and slow motion. The fractured songs which aren't originals for the movie also irritates many purists. I would argue that its the evolution of the songbook musicals. The plot and character development may be razor thin and it is the same story Baz has told us twice before but all in all it is a musical. Musicals never have deep characters or interesting plots. Good musicals have entertaining numbers you can hum along too. I think this musical accomplishes what a good musical should, entertain. And it does this in an interesting and new way.

Summary: A great movie!
Review: This movie is just about my favorite. It was so differnt and emotional with the singing and the ideas. Using the random songs were fun. I was lauging when the buttlers were singing "Like A Virgin." I have the soundtrack now and listen to it at least once a day probably, it is that good!
It was strange when I watched it with different people. Either peiople love it, or think it is stupid, so i guess it depends on the mind of the viewer. The people that didn't like it aren't as romantic minded, they were'nt able to take in the extreams of the movie. Most people don't even watch musicals anymore so it was a strange twist. But I loved it!!

Summary: Are you an Elton John fan?
Review: "It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside..." If you are an Elton John fan and you like relatively mainstream rock music and your taste in movies does not run along the lines of Armageddon or other movies where the main character's are explosions than you will probably love this movie. Many scenes are over the top and a little bizarre - but that just makes it more fun to watch.

Summary: Sickening Cinema
Review: The people that praise this film are kidding, right? Either that or I want what they are on to see how great this movie is to them. I mean, what's the deal here? 2 hours of not only predictable but MTV video like, jumbled up sequences. Not one song original! Okay, okay, maybe one or two, but is THAT what a true musical is suppose to be? Ewan and Nicole's talent it wasted. Not one scene is not surreal. That may be good sometimes but althroughout the movie it makes you sick! I cannot stress how much I hated this. And that Ziddler was also making my friend sick--his face was too creepy, never gets out of your mind. Go see a musical worthwhile, like Cabaret or The Sound of Music. Hell, even Mary Poppins is better.

Summary: SCC
Review: This film appears to have attracted extreme reactions, with each end of the scale oblivious to the pleasure/pain experienced by the other. I know people love it but, and here I have to justify my rating, this is one of the most pretentious, half-baked, ill conceived and grating pieces of cinema I have ever seen. It is shot in permanent half dark, gives little or no insight into Paris of the period and is more amused with itself than its audience ever will be. Reviewers often stress their annoyance at having no "no star" option. No stars does not go far enough for this disaster.
