Ninth Gate

Pros: Chilling backdrop gets you to stay
Cons: Ending was a little weak

In predictable fashion, Johnny Depp takes an offbeat roll and does a fine job. Playing rare book expert Dean Corso, he gets hired by wealthy psychopath Boris Balkan (Frank Langella)to authenticate a pair of 17th century books that are believed to...

Pros: Very Interesting story and plot
Cons: slow moving and confusing plot at times

The 9th Gate is now in theaters and there is a lot to talk about. The movie stars Johnny Depp, Lena Olin, and Frank Langella. It is also directed by Roman Polanski. It is a very interesting movie and there is a lot to talk about when it is over. Johnny...

Pros: Odd sex scene
Cons: Too confusing

Whenever I don't know what a movie is about, I will always wait a month or so to see it at the 'cheap' theater, which is more reasonably priced than any place else.
Having heard only a brief description of the movie via a recorded phone listing of...

Pros: Jonny Depp
Cons: Gets silly

There's something fundamentally squirrely about Johnny Depp, even in his good-guy roles. That sense that he may go seriously off at any moment is used to great advantage in The Ninth Gate, a supernatural thriller that starts off decently but winds up...

Pros: Neat tarot symbolism, fun characters
Cons: Misrepresentation of witches might offend some. Satanic references might offend some.

I have mixed feelings about the 'Ninth Gate.' As a movie, I really enjoyed it. I thought the actors were very entertaining, and I liked the twists in the characters that led you to doubt them, then regain confidence in them, then lose faith in them...

Pros: Are you kidding me?
Cons: I suggest you read my description more closely.

Alright, you've seen the previews. Excitement. Mystery. Lust. Devil. Hate to break it to you, but all the excitement that there is is all in the previews. Sure there are a few special effects scenes, some scary parts, and some definite excitement, but...

Pros: Could be appealing to book lovers
Cons: Bland, too quiet, need more special effects

I thought that Ninth Gate was going to be a great movie to see because I knew Johnny Depp was a good actor. Unfortunately, the movie's plot got me lost with the action and I thought it was more of a cheap imitation of End of Days(11/99). I knew the movie...

Pros: you can always turn it off or leave
Cons: the entire movie

I saw the preview for the Ninth Gate and it looked like it would be pretty good. Johnny Depp is a pretty good actor and has done some movies that I really liked (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Edward Scissorhands) so I decided to see it. Well once the...

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: Johnny Depp
Cons: Soundtrack

The Ninth Gate...what can I say about this movie? Well...it's with Johnny Depp...it's a Roman Polanski movie...and it was entertaining.
Dean Corso (Depp) is a rare-book fanatic...until he gets involved with the wrong one (a la "Necronomicon Ex...

Pros: None, besides Lena Olin's sexy acting
Cons: Plain godawful movie

Else your date might dump your for your stupdity.

I only saw this movie cause of Roman Polanski's name attached to it and because I was bored one night in a hotel room and I chose it over seeing action flicks for the 2nd time.

I'll...

Pros: Depp and Polanski are great and great together
Cons: Last few scenes kind of fall apart

If it wasn't for my admiration for the works of both Johnny Depp and Roman Polanski, the trailers would have kept me from seeing this film. The advertisements depicted an action packed thriller that looked enough like sappy box office ticklers to...

Pros: Johnny Depp
Cons: Script

Who, What, When, Where, and How are all the first things you learn about in English class when learning to write. I think that should be applied when writing a screenplay. With "The Ninth Gate," you leave asking at least four of these basic...

Pros: very weird, unusual storyline
Cons: the acting is pretty bland

I saw the previews for Ninth Gate. Looked scary. Looked like a horror movie. And I just don't "do" horror movies. But all my friends were going, so I decided, well, just this once. Turns out to be a good choice, sort of. Ninth Gate is by...

Pros: At least it wasn't *three* hours long...
Cons: Wastes two hours of life. Ouchie.

People raved about Roman Polanski so much I decided to go see Ninth Gate. I'm now highly tempted to never watch another one of his movies ever again, just to protest this movie. I'm about to ruin the plot, don't look.


Okay, ready?
