Moulin Rouge! (DVD) Reviews

"Moulin Rouge" Well Where does one begin with such a crisp, junty,romantic, get your feet dancing in the isles performance. I loved it, in my eyes it was superb, it captured every emotion the human psychie can absorb, Laughter, Tears, Love( for Ewan McGregor) excitement, and profoundly intense sadness. The Cinamatography was ...

Recognise that title? It's a play on the lyrics of a certain song called The Sunscreen Song. It's a by a chap called Baz Lurman. You've probably heard of it. You've no doubt also heard of the remarkable Romeo and Juliet film that was released a couple of years back. What you might not know is that the director of Romeo and Juliet ...

Basically, if you love a West End musical, you'll love this movie - you might even forget yourself, and applaud, as some audience members did when I went to see Moulin Rouge. Starring Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman, and supported by John Leguizamo and the BRILLIANT Jim Broadbent, Moulin Rouge is the thrid film by Australian director ...

Another seemingly none-existent summer is over. It leaves us with another missed chance at Wimbledon, another set of hopes that the weather will be better next time and another lot of summer blockbusters that have done little to astound us with besides their special effects. Kind of depressing in a way but things, as they say, can only get better ...

The cinematography of this film was fantastic and if you want to see it you must watch it on the big screen. I am not going to spoil the storyline apart from to say that although it is a love story I really think that this film appeals to both females and males. I expect that the scantily clad Nicole Kidman and Kylie Minogue would be ...

So, call me a softy but I guess I am a secret romantic (and I can say this cause you don’t know me). I don’t think I have any one word to describe Moulin Rouge, maybe ‘Superb’ and ‘Breathtaking’ or ‘Tragic’ and ‘Moving’. For the first ten to fifteen minutes of the film I felt ...

Okay so here it is. I went to see this film last night and in one word it was outstanding. It was like nothing i had seen before. This film starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor is the best i have seen yet. The story line is that of a classic fairy tale. A Writer (McGregor) falls in love with a beautiful courtesan (Kidman). The ...

I had the misfortune to be subjected to the stunning shambles called Moulin Rouge the other night. From the first frame to the last I was subjected to the worst pile of crap I have ever seen. I liked Strictly Ballroom, tolerated Romeo and Juliette but was unprepared for this laughable assualt on my eyes and ears. The desperation for any idea that ...

Random pointless quote as your title? And why not, it made me laugh as I typed it. The publicity for 'Moulin Rouge' has been swelling like a pimple on the face of the media for well over sixth months. Last spring, I read a vast article drooling over it in 'Sight and Sound', presumably around the time of Cannes, and have ...

This is what cinema is all about! I was beginning to lose faith in modern movies. I’ve always been a big movie fan but the late 90’s and the new millennium have produced nothing that reproduces the magic I used to feel when visiting the cinema as a kid. This summer seemed to be the worst yet with nothing of interest other than Shrek ...

I think that 'Moulin Rouge' is melodramatic, shallow, immensley cliched and daft but still strangley enjoyable. It is very much a post-MTV film, in its speed and vibrant colour schemes. Suffice to say its not suited to all tastes, I wouldn't recommend this film to my Gran as she would probably complain about the cameras moving too fast/the ...

Baz Luhrmann has followed up his directorial duo (Strictly Ballroom and Romeo & Juliet) with this musical masterpiece!! People who have seen Romeo & Juliet will recognise Luhrmann's trademark camera work and the colourful sets, teamed with a superb sountrack. Christian (Ewan McGregor)is a romantic poet who has moved to Paris ...

Generally musicals really aren't my kind of thing, but as this had so many good reviews and starred Ewan McGregor, one of my fave actors, I thought why not? Boy am I glad I gave it the benefit of the doubt! Anyway what we have here is a tragic love story set as a musical, set some time ago in Paris, yet containing modern ...

Moulin Rouge is a veritable masterpiece of modern cinema, combining the old fashioned love story with dazzling modern visual effects and clever filming. It follows the fortunes of Christian, a young wannabe bohemian writer trying to make it in Paris during the turn of the century, who gets interrupted by a troupe of rehersing performers from ...

MOULIN ROUGE is one of those rare movies where I come out of the cinema saying “WOW!”. It is the best movie I’ve seen this year and one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. And that’s saying something, because I’ve seen quite a lot of movies!! The film stars Ewan McGregor as Christian, a writer who defies ...

Great or bewildering? Masterpiece or waste of space? This film isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea and it isn't the type of film you go along to watch just to kill a couple of hours; it's one of those love it or hate it - there's not much room for middle ground. For those expecting the traditional easy to ...

"Moulin Rouge" is not going to agree with everyone - stylish, filled with some odd choices of music, blatantly surreal and a musical of all things - I think this is either going to be a film that you love or hate. Personally, I loved it, and want to see it again. The plot: (No spoilers.) Christain (Ewan McGregor) is a young ...

I’ll be honest; it was with a heavy heart that I reluctantly went to see Moulin Rouge yesterday. Musicals aren’t exactly my favourite type of movie; in fact I detest them more than every other genre you could think of. Susan however managed to twist my arm and persuaded me to give it a go. At the end of the movie one of us thought ...

Not only has the film some big star names, directed by the director from Romeo and Juliet, this film can only be described as 'Something else'! If you think back to the most weird and wonderful scenes from Romeo and Juliet, and multiply them by 1000, then you will still be suprised at this films overall sureal but very very fun ...

Moulin Rouge attempts to bring the seedy but stylish and atmospheric Parisian nightlife to 21st century film screens. We've all seen the Lady Marmalade video - it's the biggest selling song in Europe for 2001, and it sums up just a little of the film. Especially the sexual onscreen presence of the leading lady Satine, played well ...
