Ninth Gate

Pros: the begining was good
Cons: the ending was bad

The ninth gate is really crappy. It really has no sense to it, at all. The begining was okay, but then had no point and did not make sense. The girl in it was either an angle or a demend which was confusing. The whole movie was about the devil and...

Pros: Really Big Build up, You can't stop watching
Cons: Bad ending, I was very disappointed

I popped The Ninth Gate into the VCR thinking it would be a movie about hell. Well I was wrong, it was about a book collector trying to track down books on the devil. I realized this twenty minutes in but was too lazy to go get something else. As the...

Pros: Johnny Depp
Cons: slow and abrupt ending

I really like Johnny Depp first of all. He picks some of the most interesting movie rolls. So I had to see this movie. It was a great plot. The story really flowed well and it always came up with surprises. I was disappointed a little by the end. It just...

Pros: you can say you have seen a Polenski film
Cons: you will waste almost 2 hours of your time

This movie caught my attention at the store because of Johnny Depp. I rented it thinking it would be a good thriller. Well I made myself watch the whole movie and at the end wish I had stopped after the first ten minutes. It goes very slowly, and it...

Pros: Johnny Depp
Cons: Sleeper!

In my own opinion, which everyone is entitled too. I think this movie was boring. Johnny Depp is better than this. I still am having trouble swallowing the fact that he even made this movie. It started out good but then ended up really confusing &...

Pros: High quality work
Cons: Not very fast paced

The Ninth Gate is an entertaining film. Of all the films I have seen about the Devil, this one stands out as the finest of the lot. Unlike the recent film The Devil's Advocate, this movie has good acting, good cinematography, and most of all a good...

Pros: Can't really think of any
Cons: No action, very little suspense

When I purchased my ticket to see "The Ninth Gate" at the movie theater I was expecting something very different. Was it because of the quick flick previews showing action in this movie review that made me think it was action packed? Yes, and...

Pros: Mythology of Lucifer
Cons: bad ending

...deceiving. I picked this up after discussing it with my girlfriend, whose taste in movies runs parallel to my own (also a key to making a relationship work if you're a movie buff). We both read the description on the back, thought it would be one of...

Pros: none
Cons: meaningless waste of time

This was the worst movie I've seen all year. It wasn't worth the money I paid for it and it definitely wasn't worth the time I took to watch it. This movie was about two hours too long. The whole time I was watching it I kept telling myself that it's...

Pros: Johnny Depp
Cons: Disturbing

I went to see this movie because I was home and bored over spring break and a friend of mine who was familiar with Polanski's other works wanted to go see it. I found the movie disturbing and unrealistic. It was disturbing that someone was able to come...

Pros: Good for a laugh
Cons: Wouldn't pay money to see it

Some of my friends and I went to see this movie when it was out in the theatres. I have to say the theatre experience, at least, was worth the money. After all, the stadium seating is great, the seats very comfortable, and the IMAX screen very nice....

Pros: none
Cons: everything

THE NINTH GATE (1999) AKA: "LA NEUVIEME PORTE"(FRANCE) & "LA NUEVENA PUERTA"(SPAIN)



2.7/5. DISAPPOINTING EFFORT FROM ROMAN POLANSKI. FRAGMENTS OF HIS...

Pros: I don't know
Cons: I don't know

Here do we have a very amazing movie. For his last film, Roman Polansky choosed twoo actors he knew well : Jonny DEEP, which being the main caracter of the film seems to be totalely 'out' of the action.The other one is her wife, which plays...

Pros: great title sequence
Cons: plot, technical details

i have to agree with roger ebert - the title sequence is the best part of the film. i saw it because roman polanski directed, and i am generally a fan of his work. i was even willing to overlook the fact that johnny depp was in it. but i was sadly...
