That was an excellent one.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Words to describe this movie; happy, tragic, fun, surprise, beauty, song, love! If you're looking for a movie that you can't take your eyes off of, this is it! "Do you believe in truth, beauty, freedom, love?" "Above all things I believe in love." ~ Quotes from Toulouse and Christian.Treat yourself and someone you love to a night in with this powerful love story!

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return."Moulin Rouge! is directed by Baz Luhrmann and stars Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor. This movie tells the story of a young poet named Christian (Ewan McGregor) who plunges into the insane world of the Moulin Rouge, where he meets and falls in love with the club's most popular and beautiful star, Santine (Nicole Kidman).The only musicals I have ever really enjoyed have come from Disney. I find a musical every now and then that wasn't made by Disney and although I may really enjoy that movie, I have never found one that I have thought was an outstanding movie. That has now changed. Moulin Rouge! surpassed my expectations and I have definitely say that in my opinion, this is an outstanding movie. The songs where all great and memorable, the acting was fantastic and the movie itself looked amazing!My main issue with musicals is that I find that many of the songs begin at awkward times, the songs aren't memorable enough to remember and that many musicals have songs that I simply don't like. All of the songs in Moulin Rouge! are great and are all very memorable! All of the songs fit what is going on at that moment in the movie. One thing I would like to say is, who the hell knew that Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman had such great singing voices? They should definitely show off their talent more often!The songs in this film were great and so was the acting. I have only seen a couple of movies starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor before watching this and I definitely want to watch more of their movies! They both put on great performances in this film as Santine and Christian! Their chemistry was great and I would like to see them work together again in the future on another movie! We also can't forget about the performances from the rest of the cast, especially Jim Broadbent and Richard Roxburgh, who I definitely think deserve more credit than what they get! Richard Roxburgh was great as the The Duke and Jim Broadbent as Harold Zidler was a crazy performance and was one of the best supporting actor performances I have seen in a while!Moulin Rouge! was a very bizarre, crazy, depressing, happy, exciting, emotional experience. I have not enjoyed a film this much in a while! I know that not everybody will agree with my opinion as there are a lot of people out there that don't like this movie but if you haven't seen it, I personally highly recommend it! It is definitely one of my favorite musicals that isn't made by Disney, one of my all time favorite romance films (a genre I don't enjoy that much so I'm surprised I enjoyed this film so much) and one of my favorite films! This is a very different film but it's one that I don't think you should pass on!

I can't count how many times over the years i've mentioned 'moulin rouge' as a favorite movie and people go 'ugh i stopped after 20 minutes'. DO NOT STOP. KEEP GOING. the first 20 minutes are the mountain you must climb to the most beautiful view you'll ever see! Epic doesn't begin to describe this film! it is a spectacular masterpiece! a visual stunner set among a heartbreaking backdrop of love and jealousy and loss. you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll ask yourself what drugs you (and baz luhrman) were on, but you will not do, is ever again doubt the talents of Nicole Kidman and Ewan mcgregor. both deserved Oscars for this visionary film! the true definition of art and what it means to be an artist (an actor) it's easy to make films where you sit and cry (trust me you'll come out of this one doing that) but to sing and dance and be an ENTERTAINING film as well as an impactful one is no easy feat and this film accomplishes just that. (and yes i took off a point for the dizzying camera angles. i'm human too)

I really enjoyed this movie. Despite its flaws (and boy, does it have them!), I still walked away satisfied with the experience. I only wish I could have seen it in a theater and not merely on my television at home! It is not subtle at all. Neither the costumes, characterizations, or editing are unstated whatsoever. The plot is basically Camille meets La Boheme, with big doses of farce comedy interspersed with tragic romance. Yet somehow it all works-- well, for the most part.I will admit, I prefer the comical scenes to the more emotional ones. The hyperkinetic cinematography, bright colors, and animated performances generally jibe better when it's all played for laughs. Still, this is an enjoyable film if you don't mind your movies being style over substance once in a while.
