Pros: If you want to be confused . . .
Cons: Random events; bad acting; poorly developed plot line
When I come out of movies like this one, I wonder to myself, "how much of this movie was left on the editing room floor?" I initially went to see this movie because the preview looked great, and I have a thing dramatic films with large...

Pros: none
Cons: meaniless 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: Interestingly told story.
Cons: The ending
I play poker. As the cards are dealt, I examine my hand and try to determine what cards my opponents are holding. I do this based on facial expressions, cards revealed, betting, and other information. As the game progresses, players drop out until...

Pros: great acting killer story
Cons: not a good movie to watch from a christian point of view
Well I guess I got a lot more than I barganed for in this movie. It was less of a horror movie and more of a mystery. I found myself working to figure out who was the bad more than being scared. From start to finish the movie was filled with a...

Pros: None.
Cons: Terrible!
This movie is outright bad. From beginning to end. There were a lot little things, like the dog, or towards the ending, where the woman and Johnny Depp are screwing their brains out in front of the burning building, that confused me. Like why didn't he...

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 Daruma , Mar 13 '00
Pros: Johnny Depp, sweaty sex with one (or two) Satan-worshipping succubuses
Cons: Slow moving, lame ending, unexplainable characters
Your decision to see this movie will be based on a number of ultimately disappointing factors: Johnny Depp as the sort-of good guy, Frank Langella as the bad guy we love to dis, and Roman Polanski as the director of a Satan-oriented horror flick heavy...

Pros: A original plot
Cons: Not enough drama
The dramatic movie about a rare book collector who is hired by the owner of one of three remaining books about satin. As he travels around looking for the last two books, he encounters a young woman and and all that he knows changes.
I thought...

Pros: johnny depp is a damn cool actor, nice soundtrack
Cons: the ending
First thing I thought after i finished watching the DVD of this movie was...huh?
Yet another could-of-been pretty good movie is turned to waste. From what I've heard before I saw it, I knew that the ending was bad, just not THIS BAD. Lets...

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...

Pros: The acting, the special effects.
Cons: The dead end.
The Ninth Gate was a good thriller up to a point, that point being the ending. Johnny Depp's amoral book merchant was a very complex character, motivated at first by money, then by the mystery of the three books and their all important engravings...

Pros: plot
Cons: possibly the ending
To be perfectly honest this movie was not what I expected. From the trailers and advertisements, I expected garish special effects and grotesque demonic creatures. I was pleasantly surprised. There are a few minor effects to confirm that there is...

Pros: INTERESTING CHARACTERS - INVOLVING PLOT
Cons: SLOW AS SYRUP - ABRUPT ENDING
HI THERE. I AM NOT GOING TO WRITE ABOUT THE DIRECTOR OR THE ACTOR'S OR "ROSEMARY'S BABY" BECAUSE THERE ARE ALREADY SOME VERY WONDERFULLY WRITTEN REVIEW'S ON THIS SITE with all that.
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO CONCUR WITH THE MAJORITY OF THESE...

Pros: Good Idea, good acing
Cons: Poor execution, Lack of supernatural, slow
I rented this movie with high hopes. Johnny Depp and a showdown with the devil, can't go wrong there right? Yes you can, and here is why.
First the not so gory details. The movie is a bout a rare book dealer/appraiser (Depp) who is commissioned to...

by xgollum , Mar 13 '00
Pros: Depp, Polanski
Cons: limited audience
Based on all the crappy reviews that I read of this, I went rather tenatively, simply because of my fondness for the earlier work of Polanski and Johnny Depp. I was not, I must say, not disappointed.
This combines the elements of Chinatown,...
