Pros: Spectacular, spectacular, no words in the vernacular!
Cons: A lot of people just don't get it.
I've been putting off my review of MOULIN ROUGE because I really needed to see it a second time to be able to articulate my impressions. So last night I saw it a second time, seizing the one last opportunity I'll likely have to see it in the theater,...

Pros: Innovative, and you see every penny on the screen.
Cons: Nicole Kidman.
Baz Luhrman has a style going that is all his own. When I heard he had decided to try the musical genre, I was skeptical. I outgrew musicals around the same time I outgrew the New Kids on the Block. But I had loved his version of Romeo & Juliet, so I...

Pros: A dizzy pace, some really silly dialogue, and a scary rendition of a Madonna classic.
Cons: A dizzy pace, some really silly dialogue, and a scary rendition of a Madonna classic.
Now I Know Why Nicole Broke a Rib...
Not once, but twice! And torn a ligament in her knee! This movie is non-stop action from the just after the intro to about the middle of the movie. The frenzied pace and athleticism in the dance hall...

Pros: Ewan McGregor is terrific, the story is captivating
Cons: A little busy and loud at the beginning
Before I went to see Moulin Rouge, I heard time and time again that it was like nothing you've ever seen. I found myself then wondering, "Well, then what is it like?" I found out for myself, ans I have to admit, I was very surprised.
In the...

Pros: Visually stunning
Cons: A love it or leave it movie
"Moulin Rouge" is a wondrous sight to behold!
It is a dazzling display of taking the MTV music video format and expanding it ten-fold.
"Moulin Rouge" is eye candy for the mind!
The story opens uniquely. An...

Pros: Wonderful music, beautiful images, uplifting theme, and Ewan McGregor
Cons: A trifle manic and overly dramatic at times, some poor editing
I watched this movie alone (my boyfriend refused to sit through a musical) in a small movie theatre in a small town in Georgia. I watched it twice, and both times people got up and walked out after the first forty minutes or so. All I can say is, I...

by injektilo , Jun 03 '01
Pros: immense flair and style, heartfelt acting, wonderful story
Cons: only truly great and engaging the first time, when all is unexpected
It's a very rare occurence when I can sit in a movie theatre and be dazzled by a film for every minute of its two hours. Very rare. But from the very start of Moulin Rouge, as a delightfully eerie melody issues over a wonderful shot of 1900-era...

Pros: Great acting, great story, great music, great visuals, practically visionary
Cons: A bit loud at times, goes rather fast, kind of got dizzy watching it
First of all, I want to say that if you haven't seen Moulin Rouge yet, GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND SEE IT!!! I'm sure you can scrounge up the eight bucks looking under the couches and stuff. This is an AMAZING film!! But be forewarned - It's a musical, and...

by DViolet , Jul 23 '01
Pros: Good cinematography, some good editing, the singing is good
Cons: Cheesy, no original songs, sometimes schizophrenic
OK, is this supposed to be a post-modern musical? Funny, cause I thought it was more like a schizophrenic rip-off of everyone else's songs.
I really love musicals. I know this movie isn't being dubbed as one (cause "musicals" don't sell),...

by lucidparody , Oct 15 '01
Pros: The way it was filmed.
Cons: Can Drag at times.
This was easily one of the best movies I've seen in years. Rarely do movies have a visual force capable of stunning you into rapt silence; and even more rare are films able to further this with a soundtrack that can move you and ensnare you as well, if...

by princessfran , Feb 04 '02
Pros: Delightful use of scenery and music. Wonderfully fun!
Cons: Not good for those who refuse to suspend their disbelief.
This is one of my new favorite movies. No, it may not be up to the serious caliber of A Beautiful Mind, but it is one of the most fun most entertaining movies of the year and one that you should definitely own. Unlike many movies, it is good for many...

by newworldsmurf , Jun 02 '01
Pros: Eye-popping visuals, McGregor and Kidman's surprisingly good singing voices
Cons: Cinematography goes over the top a little too often, bare-bones plot
Moulin Rouge stands out as vividly as Montmartre against the Paris skyline in a summer movie season filled with sequels, revisionist history, and video game knockoffs. No matter what you're expecting when you walk into the theater, you'll walk...

by InTheAudience , Jun 04 '01
Pros: Luhrmann's mad vision
Cons: can make you nauseous over time.
What can you say about MOULIN ROUGE? The story is about beauty, truth, freedom, and, above all, love. That tagline is true. The movie is often funny – in places, hysterical – , quite tragic, visually eye-popping and . . . well, a musical. The first...

by sasha99 , Jul 27 '01
Pros: Ewan McGregor,the outrageous costumes, and the simple magic.
Cons: Absolutely none
There are only two movies that I can think of which use modern songs in a classical setting. A Knights Tale, and The Moulin Rouge. In A Knights tale, this produces a shallow effect, and adds little to the depth of the movie, but in The Moulin Rouge,the...

Pros: A kaleidoscope of color and music. A throwback to musicals of old. A MUST SEE!
Cons: The sarcastic people who sat behind me and made fun of the movie.
I have to state it from the start -- I am a HUGE musical fan. I believe in love. I love spectacle. I thought this show was "Spectacular! Spectacular!"
I read a few reviews of this movie before I went. I knew that the show "borrowed" music from...
