Pros: at least no one tells any flatulence jokes Cons: implausible, pointless pseudointellectual posing
Long ago, Roman Polanski fled the country instead of facing charges that he had sex with a child. I think he ought to be hauled back home and put on trial, not for statutory rape, but for his real crime: impersonating a talented cinematic director....
Pros: Lena Olin, Johnny Depp, Frank Langella, Roman Polanski. Cons: Poor execution of story, cliche after cliche, too much tongue.
Watching the Ninth Gate was a little bit like watching a house burn down with people inside. It's horrible and you keep wanting to walk away, but you have to see the ending once it starts.
The premise is actually quite good: a rare book...
Pros: Decent plot...could have been done better Cons: Dumb ending, too long, cheezy
I agreed to see The Ninth Gate with a couple of friends even though I didn't really think it was going to be any good, gathering from the other similar movies like Stigmata and End of Days. Anyway, turns out I was right. This movie was terrible. I mean...
Pros: Good Story, well produced Cons: total let down of an ending, not enough character development
You guessed it. The Ninth Gate. Alright, it's not really that bad. It's got a fair amount of suspense, a touch of evil to make things interesting, nice camera work, and a pretty good story line. What this movie also has is the biggest let down in a...
Pros: Good casting,interesting plot Cons: Slow, tends to be confusing, Bordering on natural/supernatural
This movie could have been great, the script had a lot of potential. Somehow it was just not done right. Basic plot of the movie being that Johnny Depp, a book 'collector', is given a job to find two other copies of a book to determine which is the real...
Pros: Polanski's Direction, Art Direction, Cinematography Cons: Drawn-Out Length
The Ninth Gate is the latest and the best of the barrage of religious themed thrillers this year. After everything from End of Days to Stigmata, I'm a little weary of Lucifer threatening the world (as well as a little tired of Gabriel Byrne in these...
Pros: Rich scenery and stunning cinematography along with an excellent sound track Cons: Holes in the plot line and some unintentionally comedic acting
OK, America, let's cut to the chase...everybody in this film smokes. Those who don't inhale it habitually, go up in it (hasta la vista, Baroness Kessler!)or are at least surrounded by plumes of it.
Pros: Johnny Depp is cute & brooding (as usual) Cons: the story makes little sense, the special effects are lame
Is it possible for Johnny Depp to do a "normal" film? I can't remember any... Anyhow, I saw this film because I usually like dark cinema. This qualifies, but even the occult themes and a brooding Johnny Depp couldn't make up for a bad...
Pros: Story, Depp's performance, cinematography, soundtrack Cons: Requires the viewer to pay a lot of attention to the most minute details of the plot; naive at times
The work crafted by Roman Polanski, contrary to what most tend to think of it, is in fact a truly good movie, that deserves to be seen and thought thoroughly. It's not some kind of a primitive violence 'horror' movie with brains and guts splattered all...
Ninth gate looked promising and had its own style, but the acting was weak and the ending was poor. I have seen this movie under two categories, one suspense, the other horror. But I failed to see either.
Pros: Kept you on the edge of your seat. Cons: Too satanic for my taste.
After recently purchasing a DVD player my husband and I went out to buy our first DVD and the only thing that we hadn't seen was The Ninth Gate. We got home and started it up, within the first 5 minuets of the start there was a guy hanging himself for...
Pros: Subtle, no Arnold, good story idea Cons: subtle borders on inanity, no action, Depp does nothing, story executed poorly.
I sat down to watch The Ninth Gate with high hopes. It had the right names on it (Polanski, Depp, etc) and the subject matter (Satan) is one that has never failed to peak the interest of myself and most of the populace. However, I walked out of this...
