Summary: To the Oscar People: hint hint
Review: I loved this movie sooooooo much. It was so sweet and touching. I'm going to be so mad if it doesn't win any Oscars. If Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings beat it for like costumes and sets, I'm going to explode. Usually movies that have a lot of hype win, that is totally not fair. The movie was fantastic. It was so stunning visually, at some points in the movie, I felt I was in a dream world. The color is so vibrant, this movie makes you feel so alive. The music was so good too. Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor sang very well. It wasn't like they sang horribly or lipsynced like most people. I respect them for it. The acting was carried out well also. I thought Ewan McGregor made the perfect annoying guy who only cared about truth, beauty, freedom, and love(especially love, he like had a freak obsession with it). Even though his character was extremely annoying, I couldn't help, but feel sorry for him. Nicole Kidman also did a good job as Satine. I loved Satine. She was so innocent yet she wasn't. Something in her eyes makes her look really innocent like she is seeing for the first time and yet she knows what the world is like. I can't explain. See the movie and find out.

Summary: The best film ever made
Review: Moulin Rouge is the most fantastic film ever made. I have seen it 3 times at the cinema and loved it more and more each time. Nicole Kidman sparkles as Satine and really is the "Sparkling Diamond". Ewan McGregor looks gorgeous, acts the part perfectally and his singing voice is incredible. Congratulations Baz!

Summary: Spoilt By MTV
Review: Being an Australian I do feel somewhat like a Benedict Arnold in saying that I feel that "Moulin Rouge" is definately for me, one of the worst musicals ever made, yet one of the most arresting films to watch. The sets are dazzling and the performances by everyone;Nicole Kidman, Ewan McGregor et all, are quite wonderful. Some of the dance and singing performances are not only unique,but extremely energetic and on a technical level, the camera moves are extremely breathtaking. So what's my problem? First of all, Bazz Luhrman has already taken what he did with his wonderful version of "La Boheme" and put it into "Moulin Rouge". In other words, I'd seen it before. Secondly,it's plot of the consumptive heroine played by Kidman, is just another "La Traviata" or "Camille" plot, with no differences at all.In other words once again, I'd seen it all before. Although putting in music and songs by Elton John in a piece set during the Nineteenth Century is certainly original, Luhrman for me, ruins the effect by being a Showman far too much with his ever moving camera at dazzling speed and veracity,that seems to take over the plot almost completely. The editing of all the songs is done to the abhorrid style of MTV. In other words, all show and no substance. This is my main concern about this movie. All show with little if any substance. The plot is extremely thin which is covered over by technical razzamataz trying to cover its thiness. Pity it wasn't the other way round. As it stands, it's like fairy floss. Good to look at,but ultimately the sugar is too strong and gets in the way of a healthy bite.

Summary: The greatest film ever...
Review: "Moulin Rouge!" has got to be one of, if not the greatest, movie ever made. OK, so the story's simple, but the film is so strong it doesn't matter.Superb acting, brilliant songs (and singing), amazing visuals, and a great feeling throughout. The film picks you up, takes you on a rollercoaster ride, and drops you off at the end. Having read many reviews of MR, I find it very hard to accept the (very few) people who criticise it. Either they are totally braindead, or have absolutely no imagination. "Moulin Rouge!" is superb. That's the only word to sum it up. An amazing piece of film-making. If this doesn't win an Oscar, there's no justice in the world. Well done Baz, well done Nicole, well done Ewan, in fact well done all concerned. "Moulin Rouge!" is... amazing.

Summary: Luhrman Is Spectaclur!
Review: In words, Moulin Rouge can't be described, watch it by yourself, and you find yourself nearly directly in a spectacular stageshow with unforgettable songs and a amazing cast, feautering a dozen of dancers and some spectacular sceneries, you'll laugh and you cry, and after the movie, you are out of breath!
'Moulin Rouge' is a sure winner of some of the biggest Academy Awards in 2002!

Summary: its not like the music video
Review: This movie is on my top 5. It has everything a movie lover could like. Great music,dancing,drama,love,a story line,and beautiful sets. It is not at all what Mtv made it out to be,giving it a quality that sugests raunchy flauntness of body. If you love musicals, many kinds of music, and awsome dancing youll love this movie. The whole movie is an adventure of colors and sounds. The beatiful settings make your come alive and you eyes dance. You fall in love with the tradgic love story of Satine and her young writer. This is the best movie of the year. And one of the bests of all time!

Summary: Moulin Rouge shines above all!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Moulin Rouge is a gritty thought provoking portrayal of two lovers who were never meant to be. Baz Lurhmann's use of photography and color make this movie surpass any of 2000. The musical has been a dying format for years but Moulin Rouge has brought it to a newer, hipper atmosphere. The use of costumes, sets, lights, and choreography and some of the best performance from Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor make this the must see film of the year. Don't miss your chance to buy this film and see what Truth, Beauty, Love, And Freedom, are all about in the bohemian film Moulin Rouge.

Summary: Fission-Fuelled Fantasy
Review: This fission-fuelled fantasy adds a fifth dimension to the brilliantly executed story/music/picture/time quadrilateral equation of Baz Lurhmann's first film, Strictly Ballroom. This time in addition to the, sometimes distracting, craft skills of the greatest living motion picture director, you are truly suspended in the universe of disbelief that entombs Kidman and Macgregor's beautiful, doomed lives. Moulin Rouge takes you deeper and further into places where you really don't want to go. This brutal ballet choreographs us through the sewers of 19th Century patronage into a scarlet heart of darkness where ultimate joy and pitiless pain tango through asylums of magnificent music to a tragic artistic consummation. Take a deep breath, wear loose fitting clothes, have a sweet drink to hand and make sure that there is someone close to talk to about Moulin Rouge afterwards.

Summary: Absolutely incredible!!
Review: If I could give this movie more than 5 stars.....believe me, I would. It's truly incredible, like nothing you've ever seen before - but in a good way! Not being a huge Nicole Kidman fan, her performance really surprised me. And Ewan Mcgregor....well what can I say? He blew me away. He is definitely one of the most talented and versatile actors around at the moment. To top it all off, he can sing AND he's completely gorgeous! Anyone out there who hasn't yet seen this film - GO AND SEE IT! Any reservations you may have about it will completely disappear....trust me!! And the Oscar goes to........MOULIN ROUGE!!!
