Summary: One of the most enjoyable musicals I have seen!!!
Review: If you love musicals, you'll definately want to see this one! I enjoyed Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman's performances and they're vocal talents were surprising, because they've been so well known for only their acting ability for a long time. Actually, I was tempted to write this review in response to another review I had read. It was completely antagonistic to this movie as a whole. And this person indicated they have had 50 or so years of experience in rating movies. I feel the need to defend this movie. This person's problem may have come from a lack of preference to musicals, or maybe because the movie dealt with some moral issues that in other people's opinions aren't appropriate.It's all a matter of opinion, people!!! I'm not insinuating that EVERYONE is going to love this movie, because there are people whose tastes are different, which isn't a bad thing. All I'm saying is if you love musicals, and you enjoy Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor's acting and singing skills, than you'll enjoy this movie. If you don't, than in my opinion, it's your loss!!!

Summary: In love with Ewan McGregor
Review: This movie is by far the best I've ever seen! Even though it's still in theaters, I paid the full $7.25 to see it 3 times. It's a brilliant film with music, dancing and best of all...love. Christian (Ewan McGregor), a poet-writer from London comes to Paris in search of a new writing job. His neighbors bring him to the Moulin Rouge to share a script (Spectacular Spectacular) with the "pimp" of the Moulin Rouge, Harry Zidler. Christian gets the job and soon finds him self head over heels for Satine (Nicole Kidman), the sparkling diamond. She is the star of the Moulin Rouge. This movie has an amazing array of songs including remakes of "Diamonds are a girls best friend," sung by Nicole kidman and "Your song," sung by Ewan McGregor. The two lovers "theme song" is "Come what may," which is sung by both of them. This movie will get you laughing, dancing, singing, and even crying. It's a beautiful love story and I'm sure anyone will enjoy it.

Summary: What do you think?
Review: I went to this movie expecting to not really like the movie, but in stead it has become one of my fave movies. The story line is a bit confusing, but the music, the dancing and the diolouge make it a wonderful movie.Moulin Rouge is a wonderful movie to watch if you want to see a forbidding romance that sets the whole story,or want to hear songs like Madonna's Like a Virgin, remade in a sort of silly manor, this is a movie you would love.

Summary: The Best Moive I have ever seen!
Review: My sister told me to go see this moive everyweek and i would tell her no no no im too busy busy busy. But then one day i finally went out and saw it. Throughout the whole entire moive i could not stop smiling this was the greatest moive i had ever seen. The music was great and the acting was wonderful. It make me laugh and cry. Belive it or not i have seen Moulin Rouge at the theatres 5 times! Thats how crazy i am about this moive. I take all my friends. The soundtrack is so wonderful. When Ewan Mcgregor sings your song i just about died at how awesome the singing was and how cute he was! he couldnt get any better with his innocence and jealousy.

Summary: A Musical for a New Generation!
Review: Moulin Rouge is nothing short of spectacular. With some of the finest costumes, cinematography, and art direction ever to be seen. The film is directed by Baz Luhrmann whom also directed the 1996 version of "Romeo and Juliet"brings his gift sense of style to this movie. This is not to mention a wonderful musical score which blends contemporary hits in a traditional musical style of presentation. The only flaw in this gem is the first ten minutes of the movie, which I did not know if I was watching a comedy or a serious drama. Yet once I found my self inside the Moulin Rouge I found that this was a heart warming romance, and a tragic drama. Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman give there best preformances in this film, even if the majority of there lines are present though music much in the style of "Evita". The story of a young man whom goes to Paris to write a story of his ideals of truth, beauty, freedom and above all love leads him to a group of eccentric artists which ask him to write a play for them. This allows our main character the chance to meet the beautifull dancer Satine, whom is the main star of the Moulin Rouge and a prostitute. Yet there love is over shadowed by a jealous and insane duke whom holds the deed to the Moulin Rouge and there very lives. The film is rated PG-13 yet this movie should have been rated R for the strong sexuality, violence language and mature themes which include a scene of rape. This film is suggested for those sixteen and up, anyone under should truely view this film with their parents. For anyone looking for a wonderful musical, even if unconventional, and a good romance then this is your ticket to world of forbidden pleasures. Moulin Rouge absolutly redfines the genre of musicals for a new generation to enjoy, a long last!

Summary: Amateur Night at the Moulin Rouge
Review: What a dreadful bore! The director should have been fired or given serious psychiatric help. Moulin Rouge reminded me of a high school production with a huge budget. Memorable music? Oh, give me a break! It was an embarassment except for a few fleeting moments of inspiration.

Summary: Absolutely fantastic
Review: Moulin Rouge was one of those movies that had to grow on me, but boy did it! I was skeptical at first but left the theater absolutely in love with this one of a kind movie. So many movie directors/producers these days are so caught up in making their movies mirror reality that they forget that movies are supposed to entertain. Moulin Rouge left reality to the side for a couple of hours and poured on the entertainment. This movie was definitely odd, it messed with my senses big time. During the opening scene I felt like I had just done an insane amount of drugs, yet this effect let me leave reality behind me and just relax and enjoy myself for the evening. What a clever, fantastic movie, definitely go see it! One note though, if you are not interested in seeing an artsy film you will probably not enjoy this movie as much, you must go in with an open mind.

Summary: Mind blowing ecstasy!!
Review: I stumbled into this movie by accident. It was the only one showing that day that I found even remotely interesting and it was free. I go to the movies about once every 2 years. I prefer to rent them and watch them at home, or buy them. Well, I never had such a good time with a movie in my life. It is incomparable to anything I have ever seen before. It is kind of a cross between Rocky Horror Picture show and Caberet and Romeo and Juliet. And can Ewan MacGregor sing? Hell Yes!! He carries this movie! Nicole isn't bad for an actress, but Ewan is awesome. If you like Ewan MacGregor even a little, this movie will make you love him. ... I have already bought the soundtrack and listen to it constantly. It brings back the feel of the movie. I can't wait for it to come out on video. And I am considering making the jump to DVD, just for this movie. I LOVED it!! And that is an understatement.

Summary: Music is its greatest strength
Review: I had heard that one would either love or hate this movie, but in my case, I'm right in the middle; I would actually give this 2 1/2 stars if I could. I loved the musical numbers; I was afraid that the modern songs wouldn't mesh with a 'period piece', but I was pleasantly surprised. I will never hear 'Like a Virgin' or 'Roxanne' in the same way ever again! I also thought the Gilbert & Sullivan take-off was hilarious. Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman gave incredible performances. On the negative side, the last half of the movie is way too slow considering the frenetic pace of the first half. We all know the ending from the very beginning, so why drag it out? Major editing should have been done, in my opinion. Also, although I am a big romantic, I disliked being force-fed the love theme. The "the greatest thing you'll ever learn..." line was repeated too many times, so the end of the movie just left a bad taste in my mouth. Overall, I'd watch it again only if I could fast-forward from song to song. This isn't a great movie, but an eclectic and opulent music video.

Summary: A wonderful colorful Musical!
Review: This movie was put together in a very colorful way. Many of my friend's mothers were all worried about [the] contact. Well I must tell you that there was no sexual contact and nothing out of the ordinary. To me this movie was very nice a well put with a good story line and lesson of love, truth, beauty, and freedom. Ewan Mcgregor was very magnifecient. Him and Nicole Kidman made a wonderful couple and sounded beautiful together. I owned the soundtrack before I saw the movie. But after seeing it i appreciated it even more. It had some comedy in it too. There is one thing that I did not like about the movie, but I wouldn't want to give it away to anyone. So inconclusion it was wonderful but if you cry at movies you may want to bring some tissues!
