Moulin Rouge

Pros: Brilliant Photography, Clever use of Well-known music
Cons: I think it got too cheesy...once

I'm going to begin my critique with a disclaimer:
Caution, Moulin Rouge may not be suitable for all audiences.
There, I said it. Only because I vividly remember as soon as the lights came on after the movie some damned girl (right...

Pros: Moulin Rouge had drama, sweet and romantic love songs, beautiful costumes, excellent acting, breath-taking performances
Cons: the movie's plot begins too soon, and the movie is rather drawn out.

When I saw Moulin Rouge, it was not what I'd expected. It is a passionate journey through love, sex, death, passion, dreams and versions of timeless love songs and even a well known Madonna song. At times, it was very amusing and somewhat drawn out,...

Pros: The Music was fabulous
Cons: You need to like musicals

How will the story end? Will they live happily ever after, or will the evil maharajah take Satine? ...

Pros: Great movie. It'll make you laugh an cry!
Cons: You have you have the right idea about it before you watch it.

This is a great movie. It's about a penniless writer who goes to Paris. There, he is recruited to write a grand play. The main actress and the writer fall deeply in love, but in order to get funding for the play, the actress (used to be a cortisan) must...

Pros: The music,cinematography,a love story
Cons: you must suspend disbelief to enjoy it

One of my Top 10 favorite movies! Who would have thought a musical could be so GOOD!! I did not like Nicole Kidman before this movie but I was really impressed that the actress could sing and get away with it...quite good actually. MOSTLY I loved Ewan...

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: Beautiful, exciting cinematography
Cons: none

This is the most unique musical I have seen in a long time. It is so original. The scenes are visually exciting, fast paced and beyond imagination. The juxtaposition of today's music and an old story-line is done very well in order to hold one's...

Pros: It is a fabulously satirical whirlwind romance
Cons: none

Moulin Rouge is fabulous. It has been so long since a truly brilliant musical has come along, and somehow Baz Luhrman was able to not only capture the joys of a musical, but he is able to reinvent it by having it be so moving and beautiful all the while...

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: Enchanting, Great Singing
Cons: Nothing!

I very much enjoyed this movie. Lots of people though don't like it. If you get past the movie and get into the storyline of the musical it will make you cry at the end. I really thought the singing was great. It made the movie what it was. The movie is...

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: you realize love is the most important thing in life - over and over
Cons: none!

This is the most fabulous movie that I have ever seen. Ewan and Nicole sing their own parts - their voices meld together beautifully.
They have such emotion, such reality - in every subtle movement, every breath...there is never a doubt...

Pros: Ewan McGregor's voice and acting skills as well as Nicole Kidmans.
Cons: It IS a bit busy at times but you get used to that.

I had no idea I was even going to like this movie.I saw all of the previews for it and it caught my intrest but I just thought it was going to be another poor attempt at reviving musicals, which I've always loved.Then I began to watch Moulin Rouge and...

Pros: Spectacular visuals
Cons: Hard to follow plot; also way too far-fetched

With such splendid reviews when this film was first in theater, I looked forward to an enjoyable night with popcorn, Diet Coke and Moulin Rouge in my DVD player last week, but was sorely disappointed. I knew there was no way this could live up to the...

Pros: Great music and Nicole Kidman.
Cons: Made me a little dizzy at times.

I went to this movie with the preconceptions that there would be great dance and musical sequences. Well, I was right. The dancing and music were amazing. They used music from every time frame in music history and some how fit it into one movie. The...
