Summary: Amazing music! Great story beautifully presented
Review: The music of Beethoven soars over his life. The producers of this film treat the music with loving respect, while showing Beethoven for the difficult man he was, despite his genius. His potential to create beauty redeems Beethoven from his self-centered (and often destructive) personality. This theme is easily understood even today. I also recommend the excellent soundtrack CD, which I believe is one of the best-selling classical recordings ever.

Summary: The greatest actor of all time
Review: This movie is the most touching of Beethovens biographies and easily the most watchable, probably due to the supreme acting talents of Gary Oldman.

Summary: Ahhhhhh!
Review: This is what I was screaming during the movie. It was so annoying! You had to sit there forever watching things that are pointless to you until the end of the movie. You spend at least two hours doing nothing but staring at it blank faced. What for? Simply to find who Beethoven was writing love letters to! Even if you like classical music, don't watch this. I like it, and still I hated it. If you don't mind watching long, pointless movies, watch this. I think whoever said watching Amedeus is better, she or he is right!

Summary: An eye opener into a life of a truely legendary musician.
Review: I never expected to ever take an interest into the world of classical music. Seeing this video suddenly turned on a whole new light to this man and his music. Amadeus did not even come close to the feeling and emotion this film portrays. I have now found myself suddenly listening to this masterful musician with a whole new understanding and appreciation. The movie truely touched my heart..I would highly recommend it!!!!

Summary: unbelievable!
Review: it seems to me i am the only one who loved this movie. i think it is easily one of the best acted movies i have ever seen. gary oldman is simply mezmerizing as is rosselini. i found myself weeping at the end for these two lovers who were spurned by cruel fate. immortal beloved is one of my favorite movies of all time. the music alone is reason enough to see the film. never before has music touched me in that way.

Summary: In general a disappointment
Review: I had heard good things about Immortal Beloved, but in general was disapopinted. I had expected something on the level of the superb Amadeus, in terms of direction, cinematography, acting, and musical score. I found the story hard to believe and wasn't really engaged in discovering the mystery of who Immortal Beloved was until the last 30 minutes of the film. I was also disappointed in the music- basically you only get to hear Moonlight and Pathetique sontas (over and over and over again) and part of Beethoven's 9th symphony. My suggestion: see Amadeus.

Summary: This is about Beethoven?
Review: I never thought Beethoven would be like that. I nomally don't like love stories, but there was something about this move that touched me. At first I didn't like because it's like a puzzle through most of the movie, but in the end it all came together.
