Moulin Rouge

Pros: creative, unusual, vivid imagery
Cons: Beginning is so fast paced some people can barely stand it.

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw Moulin Rouge last weekend. I was expecting Moulin Rouge to be all brightly colored can-can and no plot. I was wrong. The movie begins with a young man who has just moved to Paris against his father's wishes to...

Pros: Ewan McGregor is a Cutie.
Cons: This movie does not make you care what happens in the end.

On a lazy summer, Sunday afternoon I decided to go to see this movie before it left the big screen. I have always been a big fan of musicals growing up and thought with the setting and actors involved that it would be enjoyable. I sat down in the cool,...

Pros: better costumes than The Brady Bunch
Cons: No Alice

This reviewer likes to compare each film to something of a higher plane; something at a completely different level. This higher “entity” will be television’s The Brady Bunch, which aired for from 1969 to 1974. In this review, we shall compare and...

Pros: Great visuals; Bohemian atmosphere
Cons: ending given away at first of film

I must say, I was totally surprised by what I got as opposed to what I expected! What I got was more than what I expected!
This was a feast of Bohemian sights, sounds, and feelings... And a take-off on every romance that was ever produced on...

Pros: Great Actors and singers
Cons: none

This movie was the best movie i've seen in theaters in a long time. Moulin Rouge is about finding true love, as everyone hopes they will. It takes place in Paris in 1899, A writer who had just moved to Paris looking for love and a place to write, he then...

Pros: Great acting, wonderful viewing
Cons: too intense for some

Larger than life movie--Nicole and Ewan are smoking in this fabulous movie!

There will be people who hate this film, and people who love it. I do not think anyone will be able to straddle the fence here. It is truly a feat by Nicole...

Pros: Brings the power of musicals back to the big screen.
Cons: Modern audiences may not be sophisticated enough to appreciate it.

My husband and I went to this movie on opening night and were not at all surprised to see very few butts in the seats. Why? With Ewan McGregor, fairly fresh off the success of Phantom Menace and Nicole Kidman, well, she's Nicole Kidman! The answer is...

Pros: -Highly Original and Fresh -Great Soundtrack -Fast-Paced Rush!
Cons: -Predictable Plot -Beginning may be too weird for males walking into the cinema unenthusiatic.

This movie is unlike any other movie I have seen. You must experience the first 20 minutes of this flick to understand the uniqueness. It is a big, bright, fast-paced musical that you'll never forget.

The first thing you notice when watching...

Pros: Nicole Kidman
Cons: Everything else.

I have to confess up front that I did not see the entire film. A friend rented the DVD and insisted we watch it right away since it had to be back in two days. We watched half of it -- too bad you don't get a refund for returning a movie early.

Pros: Flamboyant, coulourful and dramatic...
Cons: incredibly hyperactive, drink a coffee (or three) before you view!!

Moulin Rouge is a revelation. In an era where thinking of a musical means a trip down memory lane (the only modern musical of any real note is Bjork's Dancer in the Dark) Baz Luhrman has brought the genre kicking and screaming into the 21st Century....

Pros: the direction, music, and cast
Cons: I couldn't see any

I am a huge fan of old musicals and cult movies and I have never seen a more spectacular combination of the two. I was shocked the first time I saw the Rocky Horror Picture Show when I heard how well Tim Curry could sing, but there was only a small...

Pros: Great Acting
Cons: Long and sometimes quite boring

Moulin Rouge is quite and intriguing new style of film making that caught my eye from the start of the movie. Nearly a thousand different frames fly by your eyes in the beginning of the movie moving from one picture to the next. If you are not alert...

Pros: INCREDIBLE! Fresh, beautiful songs, vivid colors, inventiveness!
Cons: You either obsessively love it, or really hate it.

This movie reminds me of the Rocky Horror Picture Show crossed with Titanic. Either you really love the movies, or you dislike or can't stand them. I fall into the latter category for those films; however, I am absolutely entranced with Baz Luhrmann's...

Pros: Nicole Kidman
Cons: Everything else

Were it not for the fact that I got to watch Nicole Kidman for 2 solid hours, my wife would have been sitting in the theater alone after the initial 15 minutes.

The movie opens by bombarding its viewers with an audio/visual assault that...

Pros: radiant! beautiful!
Cons: none that I can think of

Moulin Rouge will grab your attention from the very beginning to the very end. You will literally be exhausted when you walk out of the theatre. It is exhilirating and full of motion. It is almost dizzy.

Moulin Rouge is a powerhouse of art...
