Summary: go see it!
Review: I thought this movie was flatout wonderful! It had comedy, suspense, romance, tradgedy, great musical numbers, and pretty women all packed into one movie. It's cool how the producers had the guts to make a musical, since There hasn't been very many musicals lately. It was worth it, goto see it. Don't wait till it comes out on tape or you will be sorry you missed it! Go see it! I hope this review was helpful.

Summary: bad musical
Review: What do you get when you mix Dr. Seuss characters with a Nirvana/Elton John/Madonna soundtrack, Nicole Kidman and John Leguizamo? A really bad movie. Guys, please, please realize that this "movie" has singing and dancing. Be forewarned that it is corny, stupid, predictable and boring.

Summary: EXCELLANT
Review: Haven't seen anything quite like this on screen. And if it goes to Broadway, I don't know if it would do it justice. Great tango scene. A must see for musical lovers and anyone of good cinema.

Summary: Great Movie ! Must Watch !
Review: After the really bad trailers on TV, I really was not goin to watch this one ! My friends dragged me for it ! To be really honest this is a really good movie ! It's simple, romantic movie that combines Romeo and Juliet with Pretty Woman. The musical score is wonderful and I would recommend buying the album. The big winner is the musical score and it haunts you through the moivie and after the movie's over (you'll surpise yourself when you start humming the tunes of "Your Song" and "Come What May".Nicole Kidman looks gorgeous as usual and the real surprise to the audience is her amazing voice. Her rendition of "One Day I'll Fly Away" is wonderful. Ewan McGregor has an amazing voice. He's probably the real revelation in this musical of love, freedom, truth and beauty. A True Bohemian VICTORY !!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: But Above All Things...
Review: This Story Is About Love. If you're looking for an original storyline, don't look here. They tell you right away - it's about love. And that's simply all it's about. And right away, they even let you know the fate of the main characters as we journey into the crazy flashback that is Moulin Rouge. Basically, the story is about a poor writer(McGregor) who gets involved in the Bohemian scence in Paris. He falls in love with a courtesan(Kidman) in the thrilling nightclub, the Moulin Rouge. It follows your typical plot - guy meets girl, guy falls in love iwht girl, awful tragedy and hardship destroys relationship, they get bcak together, bittersweet romantic ending. But, of course, the plot is not the most important part of the movie. Although the story may lack in orginialtiy, the way it is presented is Spectacular! Spectacular! The fast paced camrea shots really give you a feeling of the fast-paced, crazy atmosphere of Moulin Rouge - it definitely left me feeling breathless! And as the story grew more serious, the colors, the camera movements, the angles - they all matched the mood of the events in the story. Sometimes, musical movies can feel odd and songs feel out of place, but Moulin Rouge skillfully pulled off the transitions into song. I always felt that it was totally natural for the characters to be singing when they did sing. The mix of familiar songs was awesome - everything that they spliced together fit well into the events of the film. I'm waiting for a full soundtrack to be released with all the great songs and versions of songs used in the film that are not included on the current CD. While Moulin Rouge used very few original songs, I felt the prior connotations the songs held helped provide an even better understanding of the emotions the movie sought to produce.The often fast paced action of the movie would have left many original songs far behind in the gears of our brains. But the familiarity of the songs allowed for us viewers to stay caught up in the fantastical world, letting the connotations of the songs to catch up with us while we stayed immersed in the busy madness. I was especially impressed by Ewan McGregor's awesome singing ability! His acting was also superb, but his voice was surprisingly dazzling. When I went to watch the movie in the theatre, during the beginning of the film the theatre was filled with the usual rustlings and mumblings of moviegoers. When Ewan started his first song, however, an audible silence covered the crowd as they listened to his clear and gorgeous voice. While the movie has an incredibly simple plot that can be found in almost any love story anywhere, the point is not the plot. This movie is about pure, raw, emotion grabbing you by the collar and yanking you into its world. It definitely takes you for a wild ride through the spectrum of feelings. The movie has romance, drama, humor... it leads you through joy, despair, bubbling cheers, uncomfortable laughter, shock, surprise. As you stop to catch your breath, it simply grabs you again, dragging you into another breakneck sprint of emotion. Being a hopeless romantic myself, I was engrossed by the relationship of Kidman and McGregor. Although it was altogether too familiar and predictable, the portrayal of the key moments and how we got there was thoroughly enjoyable. Even those who do not neccessarily enjoy love stories can enjoy the art of this film. It is definitely one of the better movies for this summer and I highly reccommend that you go out and watch it!

Summary: Moulin Rouge is like oxygen.
Review: I aboslutely lovet his movie!!! I have seen it twice and my friend has seen it 3 times. This is such a great movie! The idea of modern music/old setting is so great; they should make more movies like this. The movie had great acting, marvelous costumes, eye-catching sets, and the singing was spectacular spectacular (hahaha). ok, so Nicole Kidman's voice may be a little thin, but it doesn't matter because she does such a grea tjob of acting that she makes up for it. Ok, now to obsess over Ewan McGregor. (I could go on for a lot more than 1000 words on this subject.) He is the hottest guy in this movie. He portrays the nicest guy in this movie and his acting is superb. And his singing--this will take a while to expalin considering that there is no way to fully extole his virtues while writing in the English language. He has the greatest voice; it doesn't sound over-trained (that may not make sense to others but it makes sense to me and I think it is a word), it is so steady and doesn't waver all over the place, and the emotion that is overflowing in his voice is amazing. I LOVE THIS MOVIE! (and Ewan McGregor)

Summary: The Best Musical Since West Side Story
Review: If you like musicals, fantasies and romantic dramas, you'll go nuts for Moulin Rouge. With unique camera action, wierd, wacky and wonderful sets, delightfully surprising musical adaptations and more than a touch of the fantastic, Moulin Rouge is sure to please. McGregor's performance, both dramatic and vocal, is to die for. How can one person be so shamelessly multi-talented? Kidman does an excellent job as the courtesan "Satine". Though her singing did not have the "wow" factor of McGregor's, it was more than adequate for the task. And many of the hopeless love songs she performed seemed quite touching when one recalls her present situation in real life. If you don't like musicals, see Moulin Rouge anyway. You'll be treated to a film that doesn't fit the usual, ho-hum summer offerings. Instead it provides a rare treat for the jaded and bored movie goer.
