Ninth Gate

Pros: Johnny Depp
Cons: The Whole Shebang

Some may say that I don't have much right to write this opinion because I quite literally fell asleep for an hour during the film. Even with that hour nap I still didn't miss anything in the three hour saga.

Johnny Depp, nonetheless did a...

Pros: Johnny Depp
Cons: The ending, weak characters

Ninth Gate is a Roman Polanski film starring Johnny Depp. It is supposed to be a horror or thriller but I'm not quite sure. I have always liked Johnny Depp so I was excited to see this movie. The plot sounded interesting, Depp is an antique book expert...

Pros: 1 thumb up 1 thumb down
Cons: Rated R

Wow!, After watching Ninth Gate this 2 and 1/2 hour movie by Polanski is a good, not to mention this director has been dormant since 1994 when he directed his first film Death and the Maiden. However in Ninth Gate he fails to deliver the fear that I...

Pros: Engrossing atmosphere + sound effects……Understated, flowing camerawork summons up impression of developing intrigue……
Cons: Sense of involvement begins to tire.....

Beware of evil………….

Intriguing…..we are drawn into the mystery surrounding the Book of the Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows……

A rare book dealer, well portrayed by Johnny Depp becomes tempted into pursuit of a book that can lead...

Pros: Polanski's Ninth Gate, suspense ?
Cons: take it in and see

You rarely want to hear the words "confusing" used when describing a movie, but that's the word that comes to mind for the Ninth Gate, mine you, its better than to say, "pointless" or laughable, "because both those words could be...

Pros: Beautiful cinematography, intriguing premise and scenarios, impeccably shot and scored
Cons: Lacks momentum, some of the performances are stiff

Polansky's most unfairly maligned movie was bound to be compared to his classic "Rosemary's Baby." The scenarios of these films stretch the applicability of the "horror" classification. Also, both of these movies are based on novels concerning obsessions ...

Pros: Interesting story, Depp in a decent role
Cons: Disappointing ending

I must admit that I am not a huge Johnny Depp fan. I probably would not have watched this movie had a friend not played the tape while we were having coffee.

That said, I have to say that Depp does give a decent performance as a scruffy...

Pros: It gives you 2 hours to check out how dark it gets when you close your eyes.
Cons: It cost you 4 bucks to discover how dark it gets when you close your eyes.

Ok so I rented this movie having seen the previews and having believed I was in for a good spooker. I mean the previews made it seem as though some element of supernatural was going to be integral. Nah dude, not this time. Johnny Depp is better off...

Pros: Very good story line.
Cons: Very few translations to foreign languages spoken.

I just finished watching this so I decided to write my epinion
while it is still fresh in my mind!
I do believe before I return it to BlockBuster Video that I
will watch it at least one more time!

The movie is set mostly in...

Pros: Offbeat film dealing with the devil
Cons: Lacks some character development

Roman Polanski's latest film "The Ninth Gate" is unlike any recent film in the video stores. This doesn't mean it is bad. The only film I could really draw a comparison to was the old Mikey Rourke Film "Angel Heart". Both Films are...

Pros: Great locales and exquisite rare books
Cons: For those who understand European cinema

Without being active into the World of Evil (I'll take God anytime, thank you) I was very gladly impressed by this movie. This is the story of a rare book specialist who becomes both entangled and fascinated in his search of the Devil. Johnny Depp stars...

Pros: None Really
Cons: Too Dumb

After watching the first 10 minutes of this movie I knew I was in trouble. The main problem is the music. In order to make a horror flick or suspense flick work you need good tense music. This movie has music, but it sounds like it comes from an old...

Pros: scenery fits the plot
Cons: boring, drab, monotonous

Who has the original copy. Better yet pay attention to the pictures with the book. If you walk away from this movie for more than 5 minutes, it's going to be a challenge catching up with it. Are "scattered Meaning"
movies the only type...

Pros: Johnny Depp
Cons: Story a little hard to follow

On a recent trip to Blockbuster, I decided to rent The Ninth Gate. From previews, it appeared to be an interesting movie. Now, after seeing it, I'm left a little confused. I understand that the movie was based on a book, and if the book were in...

Pros: cool idea for a story
Cons: the making of the movie

The Ninth Gate began with what could have been a pretty cool plot. It was all about this book that was written centuries ago. Only three copies survived after the author of the book was burned at the stake along with what they thought was all of his...
