Pros: Sex scene with exotic background
Cons: Leaves you hanging on EVERYTHING
This movie promises a view into a created world of the occult. It even promises you a glimpse of satan and possibly into the mind of the master of darkness. What it winds up giving you is a feeling of lost bewilderment.
It poses so many...

Pros: Very funny for all the wrong reasons
Cons: It was made in the first place
This was just incredible. I have not been so repulsed since I saw "The Fifth Element", another incredible piece of tripe that should be melted and buried no less than 1,000 feet beneath the ground.
The basic premise is: Frank...

Pros: chairs were comfortable oh the movie none
Cons: it really really really sucked
In the previews this movie looks pretty cool. DON'T be fooled. This movie actually sucks. I heard my friend comment after the movie,"I'd rather spend 24 hours in a fudge packing jail than watch this movie again." I don't know if I would...

Pros: None
Cons: Badly written, acted, filmed, paced and too long.
The Ninth Gate: In the rare book business, Dean Corso has a well-deserved reputation as a mercenary - if the price is right, he'll get what you need. A renowned scholar and collector approaches him compare the three existing copies to see which is the...

Pros: Plot, Sets, Soundtrack
Cons: Irrelevant Nudity, Bad Editing, Not Scary
The Ninth Gate came to video on Tuesday, July 18 - I rented it that same day. The movie starts out by introducing you to the protagonist, Dean Corso (Johnny Depp), who is a professional book detective. A family is consulting him on the value of their...

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: Johnny Depp. Burning castle. A nice sports car. That's about it.
Cons: um... nearly all of it...
$6 sucky sucky. This movie is a bit like the omen except the omen was good. Yeah, I hated it. The movie doesn't really end -- all they did was leave it open for a sequel. After three hours of watching with no sort of dramatic climax, well, needless...

Pros: Excellent idea
Cons: Poorly executed
The story is very interesting and was good enough to lay a strong
foundation for a solid movie, but it begins to crumble by the half way point
of the movie.

Pros: Good Cast with Depp as fine as ever
Cons: Too long and Too slow
Last year's Stigmata failed. So did End of Days, but at least it was fun to watch. The latest entry into the religious/horror genre is The Ninth Gate, a film with a good script, chilling special effects, a great cast, but stop short because of...

Pros: Johnny Depp gets to smoke a lot
Cons: There was way too much padding to this movie
I know I should, but I just don't get this movie. My movie partner did, but I just couldn't suspend my disbelief.
I went to the movie based on the trailers and adverts, and it seems as though the best parts of the movie were in the trailers....

Pros: Excellent in being Original*
Cons: Too long, could have been shorter
This movie was extremely original, and I believe this makes the show worth while. It has been a while since I have seen a truly original movie, and this one is great. I give it two thumbs up on originality, I think it could have been shorter. The...

Pros: Jonny Depp, Roman Polanski
Cons: slow and probably confusing to hose who haven't read the book
I read the book on which "Ninth Gate" was based long before I saw the previews for the film on television. It was a fine novel, only a little slow in places. I had hoped that this problem would be solved in the film, after all it was directed...

Pros: The cinematography
Cons: The Plot
If you wait for the sequel maybe they'll finish the movie? Maybe it’s just me but there was a lot to the movie that was never quite answered. And the ending was less than fulfilling.
Depp plays a kind of a dirty book hunter who is given a...

Pros: The Popcorn, Dark story, good flow thru
Cons: The End of the Movie
At first I was hoping for an Angel Heart / Devils advocate movie. For the First two hours I was really into this movie. Mystery suspense, you name. Although It was a bit slow, but by the end it was a totally different story, the end killed the whole...

Pros: Good plot, good characters, good theme
Cons: A tad bit long, abrupt ending
I drove up to the movie theater not really knowing what to expect, and I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. The Ninth Gate is one of those movies that takes a good thinker to understand. The movie has a fairly well-thought plot, and adds slight...
