Moulin Rouge

Pros: Beautiful, colorful sets, superb acting, great music
Cons: can't think of any cons!

This movie absolutely took my breath away. The sets and costumes were so colorful; the script was well written, and the music was superb. Who knew what great voices Ewan MacGregor and Nicole kidman had! John Leguizamo was fabulous, too. This has to be my ...

Pros: This movie helps me realize that my life isn't that crappy.
Cons: I can't think of any cons, it was an absolutely awesome movie.

THE PLOT: FREEDOM, BEAUTY, TRUTH AND LOVE!!! MAIN CHARACTERS; Christian: (Ewan McGregor) A man that could split up the strongest love affair just with his voice! He can melt your heart like chocolate left out in the sun on a ...

Pros: Extravaganza of music, costumes, singing, acting.
Cons: More info on the history and costumes needed in special features.

Told this was not supposed to be a musical but how anyone can say it is not is beyond me. More musical than actual story. Wonderful and classic love story; can't believe Kidman and McGregor can sing so well. Rolled over with laughter at the choice of ...

Pros: The music will have you feeling good!
Cons: You may cry...even guys.

EVERYTHING about this movie will have you fall in love with it. The music, the look, the acting...all absolutely wonderful and rich in detail. This is hands down one of my favorite movies. I went into it expecting to be bored out of my mind, and ...

Pros: Good assortment of color, irony, and foreshadowing
Cons: Not entirely accurate.

Moulin Rouge, the Red Windmill. The third and final movie in Baz Luhrmann's red curtain series. This movie has an outstanding cast that work well with one another. The story behind the Moulin Rouge is portrayed in 1899. The sets are very accurate ...

Pros: Great-looking sets, 2 musical sequences, the second half
Cons: First half, most of the musical sequences boring or bizzare

Generally when I see Ewan McGreggor in a movie, I can usually be assured that at some point in the film I will enjoy myself. Of course, that was before his turn as Obe-Wan really hit the fan, but someone who manages to have such charisma in a real piece ...

Pros: great acting, especially by McGregor and Kidman, interesting use of music
Cons: some scenes are extremely loud and chaotic

I am a great fan of musicals, so when I heard about the movie Moulin Rouge, I was intrigued, particularly since the musical has gone out of fashion even where it is most expected; Disney’s recent lack of musical numbers, particularly sung by a ...

Pros: The music, a great story, outstanding color schemes, and superb acting.
Cons: none

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love, and to be loved in return." Words to live by, and a lesson that must be learned in the duration of the film Moulin Rouge . Baz Luhrmann took a step out into the unknown, and was ...

Pros: Acting, Music and Plot
Cons: The Duke's singing!!! Eeek!

Alright...Lets just get down the basic plot. Ewan McGregor plays a lonely writer(Christian) who movies to Paris to write about Love, the thing he most believes in. Yet his father calls it a "ridiculous obsession". Well shortly after he moves in an ...

Pros: Does over-the-top like over-the-top was going to be banned the very next day.
Cons: Clever like MTV shows are clever. Effusive romance. John Leguizamo in a wasted role.

This review is a part of a Valentine's Massacre Simply_Crispy started. To echo what the man said, "Hate is good." Ah, Valentine’s Day – you get your flowers and your heart-shaped ...

Pros: Colorful, Whimsical, Romantic and Fun
Cons: Simple, in the way that musicals can be; music buffs either love/hate the score

How to describe this movie? Single words speak volumes about it: Brilliant. Silly. Whimsical. Clever. Passionate. Oh, and 'Musical'. Very musical. "The greatest gift you'll ever learn is just to love, and be loved in return." ...

Pros: Definitely a feast for the senses, and tears at your emotions like a runaway train
Cons: Doesn't always come together neatly. Needed some longer shots to allow absorbing of detail.

'Moulin Rouge' was definitely not what I had expected and far surpassed those expectations in every area. I was VERY pleasantly surprised but also quite amazed at Nicole Kidman's singing talent. An excellent actress, definitely, but a singer? Her voice ...

Pros: Takes film and the musical form in an entirely new direction
Cons: Hard to get into, completely overwhelming, but some of us like those things.

I seem to have caught up with this film much later than everyone else. And after resisting it vociferously for ages, I've now fallen completely in love with it. Moulin Rouge is based loosely on the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice. Orpheus entered the Un ...

Pros: Excellent cinematography and use of colour, wonderful music. Fluctuates intensely from funny, to sombre.
Cons: Cliched plot, banal ending

This movie follows the tale of two beautiful characters totally inexperienced and unaware of the powerful and all consuming force of LOVE. Christian, the 'penniless poet' is charmingly portrayed as the innocent Londoner who comes to Paris to live as a bo ...

Pros: Colourful, nice costumes, some nice melodies; it ends - eventually.
Cons: Way too long. Boring.
