by Crazycritic , May 18 '00
Pros: Scarier than its predecessors, well acted
Cons: Less special effects
Next in line after Stigmata and End Of Days comes the Ninth Gate. First off, I would like to say that this is probably the best out of the three of them. While it didn't have all the special effects of the other two, it is by far the freakiest. What...

Pros: Great story, Great casting
Cons: Leaves audience wishing for a sequel.
With the arrival of the Millenium, there has been a rush of supernatural thrillers involving intense, dire religious conflicts. The End of Days & Stigmata to name a few. Those movies have been the unexpected heroes trying to defeat the evil,...

Pros: scary, suspensefull, unique
Cons: none
Now, I must say that I did not see the trailers for this movie ANYWHERE. I did not read any reviews on it. Yet, it was through a clever add that I noticed the film. Now, Polaski, the director, was very farmiliar to me along with the face of Johnny...

Pros: Beautifully filmed, intellectual
Cons: No cons
The Ninth Gate has a lot in common with Eyes Wide Shut. Both movies are slow moving and intellectual, with fantastic cinematography and scenery. And although one is about the Devil and the other about sex, they actually have a lot of plot...

by Cosmofind.com , Mar 27 '00
Pros: Great cast and acting
Cons: too long
One of the most pleasant surprises this year for me was the Ninth Gate. It was a well laiden movie that caught my attention fast with it's opening scene. The plot slowly unravels about our main charecter (Jhonny Depp) the "weasely" book trader....

Pros: Polanski's Ninth Gate, suspense ?
Cons: take it in and see
You rarely want to hear the words "confusing" used when describing a movie, but that's the word that comes to mind for the Ninth Gate, mine you, its better than to say, "pointless" or laughable, "because both those words could be...

Pros: Great plot, excellent story line
Cons: not for everyone
I wasn't quite sure what I was getting into when I stepped into the theaters to watch Rowan Polanski's "The Ninth Gate." I attended with two of my dearest friends, and I saw the two extremes of responses. One of them was bored out of their...

Pros: Intellectual, thinking-man's horror flick.
Cons: Not for everyone. Slow moving.
I had heard bad things about "The Ninth Gate" before actually purchasing a ticket on it's opening night. I recall seeing ads for it in the theaters during the summer of 1999, and then not hearing another thing about it again for months (a...

Pros: good plot, lots of surprises, makes you think.
Cons: slight cheese factor, leaves you wanting more.
Polanski. It's been a while since we've seen him around. His comeback was long overdue, and well worth the wait. This was a last minute pick for me whilst waiting in the ticket line. In the words of Bob Ross, it was a "happy accident". It...

Pros: Wonderful imagery, great acting, solid storyline
Cons: Slightly disappointing ending
After seeing Johnny Depp in my all-time favorite film, Sleepy Hollow, I eagerly awaited the Ninth Gate. It was worth the wait.
There will probably be many who will disagree, but I have to say that this could easily be one of the best Horror...

by BrianKoller - Top 50, Oct 02 '01
Pros: score, script, direction, casting, humor
Cons: lengthy, deliberately confusing, those expecting action or horror may be disappointed
One of the leading internet film critics, James Berardinelli, despised The Ninth Gate. He gave the film one star out of four, calling it "a jaw-droppingly bad mixture of film noir and the occult."
But perhaps it is simply a black...

by 11482 , Mar 28 '00
Pros: great mystery
Cons: a bit confusing
Like the antiquarian books that cause all the fuss in Roman Polanski's
effete supernatural yarn, The Ninth Gate looks dark and mottled -- what
dealers call ''foxed.'' The color palette is right; it suggests secrets
and mystery, hinting...

by kaansua , Jan 25 '02
Pros: Great locales and exquisite rare books
Cons: For those who understand European cinema
Without being active into the World of Evil (I'll take God anytime, thank you) I was very gladly impressed by this movie. This is the story of a rare book specialist who becomes both entangled and fascinated in his search of the Devil. Johnny Depp stars...
