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...

Pros: Um...it ends eventually.
Cons: Unlikeable characters, unsatisfying ending.
Okay, I have to admit it. I am an incredible scary movie wimp. "The Mummy" had me watching most the movie through my fingers, I still find that damn clown in "Poltergeist" to be absolutely terrifying, and I have to work to stay...

Pros: Johnny Depp carries his part well, until that is no longer possible.
Cons: The second half leaves you sitting, with your mouth open, wondering if they switched films half way through!
THE NINTH GATE starts off wonderfully. Johnny Depp plays a "book mercenary" out to get valuable, collectable tomes to sell to the highest bidder. The ambience is impeccable, the attitudes are extremely on the mark, and you are set up for an...

Pros: None that come to mind.
Cons: Script, acting, and direction. Not in any particular order.
OK OK, this time I sat through all one hundred and thirty five minutes of torture. The reason I did it this time is usually I use my common sense and when a movie is this bad I shut it of midstream. If it is half baked then I only watch half. Then I...

Pros: Someone else bought my ticket!
Cons: They wasted their money...sorry Mom...
Yawn....that is all that needs to be said about this movie that starts out with such promise but drags on and on and on and on....(well, you get the picture). Dean Corso (Johnny Depp) a shady rare book dealer, is hired on by Boris Balkan (Frank...

Pros: Depp, Polanski, Lagella
Cons: a little long, (but it's worth the build up...)
This movie is spooky as hell!
It started out somewhat slow, but by the time I finally reached the climax of the movie, I realized that almost every damn thing in the beginning made sense. Roman Polanski is a great director...and this movie...

Pros: I yelled out "That's gotta hurt" during a serious time in the movie and the other 5 people watching the movie laughed
Cons: Everything and Anything involving the plot, cast, dialog, lighting, etc.
I admit, I snuck in to see this movie, and afterwards I want my money back! That's how bad this movie is. As a service to all the other Epinion people who read this, I'm going to give away enough plot so you don't want to rent this boring, boring movie....

Pros: Johnny Depp is cool.
Cons: Few and boring effects, interesting story that they did nothing with.
The Ninth Gate stars Johnny Depp as Dean Corso. Corso is renowned throughout the world for his ability to locate and appraise rare books for collectors around the world. It’s a job that requires much skill and often much deceit.

by Traver , Apr 11 '00
Pros: Wonderful imagery, great acting, solid storyline
Cons: Slightly disappointing ending
After seeing Johnny Depp in my all-time favorite film, Sleepy Hollow, I eagerly awaited the Ninth Gate. It was worth the wait.
There will probably be many who will disagree, but I have to say that this could easily be one of the best Horror...

Pros: A little wine and you are asleep.
Cons: This movie will con you of $8.00.
Opening scene with the cinematography of zooming in on doors sets you in a mediatative and sublime feeling; like finding yourself, the deep dark secrets of life. Although you can't get lost in this movie, you surely will fall asleep. It is 2 and half...

by Cosmofind.com , Mar 27 '00
Pros: Great cast and acting
Cons: too long
One of the most pleasant surprises this year for me was the Ninth Gate. It was a well laiden movie that caught my attention fast with it's opening scene. The plot slowly unravels about our main charecter (Jhonny Depp) the "weasely" book trader....

Pros: Emmanuelle Seigner, locations and scenery
Cons: Slow paced, no emotions, yadda yadda yadda
Well after seeing this movie I finally have it figured out. Hell is like sitting in a room with your boring cousin that talks about entymology for the rest of time. That is basically what this movie was.
I bought into the whole preview...

Pros: Lena Olin in a sizzling, deliciously evil appearance.
Cons: everything else
Satan does not seem to have a very good agent in Hollywood right now. I don't suppose he minds being the bad guy, but to be boring as well must be a real let down. And he/she is boring....boring as hell (no pun intended) in the really creaky Ninth Gate....

by Crazycritic , May 18 '00
Pros: Scarier than its predecessors, well acted
Cons: Less special effects
Next in line after Stigmata and End Of Days comes the Ninth Gate. First off, I would like to say that this is probably the best out of the three of them. While it didn't have all the special effects of the other two, it is by far the freakiest. What...

Pros: fine performances, interesting plot
Cons: doesn't clinch it near the end, plot fizzles, sleepy time!
I came into watching this movie with the upmost excitability, From the previews , it sounded like such a cool movie. I mean come on, a book that will lead you to the kingdom of hell, that is a cool plot---or so I thought. Johnny Depp made a fine...
