Summary: Only one word - WOW!!!
Review: This movie is a stunning mixture of effects, acting, and music. The story is classic with a twist of reality. I never like Nicole Kidman until I saw this movie. I began watching it fully prepared to hate it but, by the end, I was floored with the passion the movie projects. The beginning was fast paced, choppy montague of the present and memories/writing of the past that can disorientate you but, in the end it all flows into a passionate masterpiece that wrenches the heart. If you want a powerful film that shows the true meaning of love, Moulin Rouge is for you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Feast For The Eyes!!
Review: Moulin Rouge is probably one of the best movies i've ever seen. It incorporates music, fantasy and love into one movie. I thought that Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman were absoutly amazing and Baz Luhrman is pure genious. However, this film is love it or hate it. You either LOVE LOVE LOVE it or walk out in the middle of it. Even if you don't like it, I would see it for the cinemotography. Its a really good film for people who like a good love story or a musical....ENJOY!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow!
Review: Wow! That is one word that can be used the describe this movie, among a list of another synonomous adjectives. I haven't viewed the bonus material, but the movie itself is AMAZING and unlike ANYTHING you have ever seen before. After watching this movie the first time, the shock factor reached something along the lines of my first viewing of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." I was left thinking after each scene "Wow, what just happened? That went by so fast!" The soundtrack uses various songs from different movies and popular bands in a wild mix of musical fun. On top of that, Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman have very beautiful voices, and the song "Come What May" made chill-bumps run up and down my spine!

If you enjoy musicals, this is a MUST-SEE!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The musical sequences stink but the movie is funny
Review: Man, at the very get-go the movie fell flat--the Nirvana song at the beginning was so muffled and poorly done, just like most of the rest of the music in this film. Only the medley duet with Nicole and Ewan worked. But it was a pretty funny movie. And ya gotta admire the daring to make a musical without irony in this day and age.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Totally overblown, but in the best possible way
Review: Moulin Rouge is a fantastic film. It is so ridiculous that it is brilliant. To begin with, I worried that it was simply going to be a 'let's make this silly and it'll be called good' kind of film, but it has plot, brains and emotion behind all its glitsy, loud fanfare (and let's face it, there's a lot of that). Good performances from both leads and lots of good individual characters guarenteed to raise a smile.

Good singing, with the hilarity of Luhrmann seemingly trying to incorporate every song he ever enjoyed into just a few sequences. Several of these songs are re-interpreted originally and hilarious way (the version of the Police's 'Roxanne' springs to mind).

This really is as everyone says a multimedia experience. It's a hilarious but also touching, overblown, clever film in classic Luhrmann style. Excellent.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Suffers badly from ADD --- where's the riddelin!?
Review: One of the worst movies I've ever seen in any Genre, this "thing" flits around like a major mental project. The "writers" filch bits and pieces of well-known pop-culture tunes and shove them into scenes randomly, and then only a line or two every couple of seconds. It can't justifyably be called a "musical". I'm glad I didn't shell out any money for this video (it was a well-intentioned gift), however I feel cheated as I wasted over 2 hours of precious time watching this drivel. In short: the story was trite and cliched, the singing was amateur, the acting laughable, and the effects were wasted.

The fact that the average rating is 4 stars (as of this review) alarms me and causes me to fear for the course of our culture.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: strange
Review: Very strange at the beggining, but for me it was addicting and you just kept wanting to watch more.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Surprising
Review: This movie was nothing like I expected. That's good, because I really had no desire to see it and so didn't expect to like it. The first couple of minutes, I thought it was gong to live up to my shallow expectations. As it continued, I found it growing on me. By the end, I was hooked. I love the music, the costumes, and the story line.

I realize this movie isn't for everyone (my boyfriend was unimpressed), but if you haven't seen it, I recommend that you give it a try. You may be pleasantly surprised.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: MOULIN ROUGE IS THE GREATEST THING YOU'LL EVER SEE OR HEAR!!
Review: THIS FILM IS ART...AND AS WITH MOST ART, IT CAN BE SUBJECT TO THOSE WHO CANNOT GRASP ITS BEAUTY. ... THOUGH THIS FILM IS FANTASTICAL, IT IS A SWEET FORUM FOR ESCAPISM FROM THE ELECTRONIC, METALLIC, COLD, AND UNIMAGINATIVE WORLD WHICH WE LIVE IN. TO UNDERSTAND AND ENJOY THIS FILM, ONE MUST FIRST LET GO OF THE NOTION OF TRADITIONAL MUSICALS, ACCEPT UN-REALISM, AND EXPEL INHIBITIONS. ABOVE ALL, A PASSION AND AN APPRECIATION FOR LOVE MUST BE PRESENT...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: fun to watch
Review: although the plotline is more than predictable baz makes up for it with amazing costumes, great songs, and lots of spectacular dances. not exactly a movie my boyfriend would like though..
