PurityPleaseJul 2, 20020Horrible movie, terrible plot, how am i supposed to believe that the writer fell in love with the prostitute for anything other than her looks?
-
-
KristenW.Apr 29, 200410The absolute best movie I have ever seen! Baz Luhrmann is a genius, and Ewan and Nicole are very talented.
-
-
AlexandriaL.Apr 6, 200210This movie was great!!!! I just loved it. It sure took a place in my top 5. If you haven't seen this movie or just dislike it.... you're crazy! This was the best movie ever!
-
-
StephanieG.Oct 6, 200110Moulin Rouge is a truly daring piece which will be forever treasured in cinematic history. It's remarkable direction and perfect casting make it the musical piece to confirm Baz Lurhmans genius!

LukeA.Jul 14, 200110I loved it.
-
-
DawnSep 8, 200110Whao...this is the most touching, romantic, spectacular movie I've ever seen... I must also admit that Nicole Kidman and Ewan Macgregor are good singers... it's a movie/musical that makes people want to watch it again and again if they like it...I mean those who don't like the movie are either not open-minded or they simply don't understand the word "LOVE"...hee~

LindaN.Jan 4, 200210Great, great movie! Loved it! Pure genius! Amazing sets and songs and talent!
-
-
CatharineT.Jan 7, 200210It's probably the first musical that I will purchase. It was a good surprise considering that I never meant to see it in the first place. I fell utterly and completely in love with the music. The love ...oh the tragic love... I can't help but feel happy, sad... tears and all... in one sitting. Incredible!!!!
-
-
DonaldP.Feb 9, 200210I hate musicals and hate love stories but this film is amazing, one of the best of most romantic, fun movies I have ever seen.
-
-
MichaelS.Mar 20, 200210Well, i think watching this movie for 20 times gives me the right to know what it is like. It has awesome singers and great songs that I have memorized!!
-
-
ChrisJ.Apr 30, 20023Visually entertaining but lacking in any other substance. The dialougue, the dancing, the slaughtering of popular music, along with the editing makes Moulin Rouge positively vomit inducing.
-
-
BeaApr 5, 200210Is fantastic; beauty funny...all you need is to see it!
-
-
RoxanneC.May 1, 200210Freakin awesome! The actors are great, the music is great, the plot was great and Ewan McGregor was soooo hot!
-
-
GabyD.Jun 20, 200210Fantastic, the best!!!!
-
-
SallyR.Jun 8, 200210This story is about... love At the Moulin Rouge. Dramatic effects, fantastic acting, you could swear you were there with them. You can feel their pain.
-
-
AllieJ.Jun 9, 200210This movie is the best movie i ever seen it makes you laugh cry and jump off your seat at the same time plus add brilliant colors adn a sexy couple and the movie is a hit (not to mention Ewan McGregor is a wonderful singer).
-
-
PhoebeG.Jul 30, 200210This is one of the best movies I've seen. Thought it would be some flick 4 mah old folks . . .but it's fresh. (especially the music) Great performances! Some good graphics. It's a tear-jerker!
-
-
PreciousAndBeautifulJul 4, 200210I thought this film was one of the best films that I have ever seen. The plot, the acting and the singing was superb.
-
-
JustinN.Oct 6, 200310An emotional masterpiece that will heighten your spirit then leave you heartbroken in the end. I Love it!
-

ChristinaH.Jan 4, 200410Absolutely the best movie ever created!

ElkinsA.Jan 5, 200510Unique.
-
-
AlexJan 3, 200610It's by far the best movie that I've ever seen. The whole cast is perfect, Ewan McGregor in particular. He has the voice of an angel. The chemistry between each cast member is palpable...just amazing. Costumes, setting, plot, script...everything was phenomenal.

DanM.Nov 3, 20010When the film broke, I walked out and got the price of the ticket refunded. The worst editing in the history of the cinema.
-
-
BenA.Oct 15, 200110The plot is, admittedly, nowhere near original. But hey, that wasn't what sold the movie for me. This is an incredible cinematic experience that leaves you breathless by the end. Excellent for fans of drama, romance, comedy, and musicals (or a light combination of all four)!

MaleneH.Oct 19, 200110Great movie! I think Nicole and Ewen were very brave to make this movie. They are amazing in this incredible movie! Finally Hollywood made a good musical.
-
-
ArnoW.Oct 2, 20019A dream, a wonderful composition of music (the most powerful language used in the movie) and almost surrealistic photographic scenes. It balances between heaven and hell . A beautiful historical drama shown in a very special way.

MarijkeG.Oct 22, 200110The movie enchanted me from the beginning until the end. Nicole and Ewan are magnificent, and I never thought they could sing like that!!!
-

SanneS.Oct 27, 200110Moulin Rouge is the best movie I've ever seen in my whole life!
-
-
NeilP.Oct 9, 20015What crap! The people who made this movie should get out of Hollywood once in a while... It's bad enough that they substitute medleys for full musical numbers... but they use the WORST of pop music to do it. Oy, what a waste of time.

DeannaD.Sep 1, 200110The only reason why someone would despise this movie is if they weren't going into the theatre to watch this with an open mind. This isn't like all the other movies out there, which makes it wonderful, as well as the incredible actors and actresses, soundtrack, and direction.
-
-
KinskiS.Sep 4, 200110Excellent~~ I really love it a lot!!
-
-
ChristineJ.Sep 6, 200110I can honestly say that this is the most touching and spectacular movies I have ever seen. Not only are the effects and choreography extraordinary, but the actors have genuine talent and chemistry. For sure you will either love it or hate it. Obviously, I loved it, and personally, I cannot see how anyone could have any feeling of hatred towards this wonderful film.
-
-
KierstenJ.Oct 11, 200210This movie was so good and ewan and nicoles' voices sound great together. this was the best movie ever!! and if you dont like it you SUCK!!
-
-
BrittanyB.Nov 1, 200210This movie is my new favorite movie. I love it so much. I always sing a long to the songs. This film is definitely an art!
-
-
AmandaC.Nov 20, 200210Weeks later you will still be singing the songs, and everytime I see it I enjoy it more. The singing, the costumes, the energy, the story-so poignant and yet so uplifting. Great!
-
-
HollyW.Oct 13, 200210This movie is the BEST!!! The music, the suspence, and the dances! Nicole Kidman is as sexy as she can get, and can sing well too! And let's not forget about Ewan McGregor! He is F-I-N-E! Both did spectacular performances!

KristyDec 29, 200210This movie has the suspence and everything, it is a feast for the eyes and mind. it makes you think about yourself and your love for everything. this is by far my favorite movie. Every one should think about this and go to the person they love and remember how much they mean to you. Don't ever take it for granted!!!
-
-
SteveM.Oct 5, 20025The movie was entertaining to a certain degree. I and the person I went to the movie with wanted to leave half way through the film, it got so wearying. Why you people give this film such a high ranking, has me boggled. The majority of the important critics definitely disagree with you. So do I and I also have a lot of experience watching musicals of all sorts. This is not even remotely a 10.
-
-
BobF.Mar 10, 20021I can't believe that so many people actually like this film. It's completely over the top without any purpose. It's not even funny when it's supposed to be funny.
-
-
LucindaS.Mar 12, 200210The only people that don't like this movie are the ones who either turned it off in the beginning/middle, and those who fast forwarded through it. If you actually watched it all the way through and didn't love it, you have no soul.
-
-
AliceMar 12, 200210A beautiful film with amazing scenery. If you don't get enthralled by the love story you'll be entertained by the backdrop of Paris, and the wonderful imagery.
-
-
ElenaMar 15, 200210I loved this movie. It was an amazing experience; it is filled with so much passion and joy of living that it was impossible for me not to fall in love with it.
-
-
NateMar 16, 200210The best movie and soundtrack ever!!
-
-
AshleyH.Mar 23, 200210OH! This is a great movie! I become so uplifted when I hear those songs! I just love Christian's voice, face, and character.

LindaM.Apr 10, 200210I think it was absolutely beautiful. I've never seen a movie so colorful and intense and filled with brilliant music before. The soundtrack is great, I especially love 'come what may'... And Ewan McGregor CAN SING! His voice is perfect for these songs.
-
-
KikiS.Apr 18, 200210l think it is the best movie l have ever seen! The actors, the songs,the suits and generally everything is perfect.
-
-
KenickieG.Apr 2, 200210This movie rox my sox!! I luff it and everything about it!! People who didn't like it can go fook a tree because this movie was awesome. Now normally I wouldn't like it, but how can yew hate a lisping, midget John Leguizamo? It's a physical impossibility. I think he was the best part of this movie, I'm in love.
-
-
LeneS.Apr 23, 200210I just loved it! For the moment I have seen it 3 times in the movie and once on video!
-
-
KateE.Apr 6, 200210THIS MOVIE IS AMAZING, if you dont think so you should give it time and not just turn it off after the first 5 minutes.
-
-
SimonC.May 11, 200210This is a masterpiece!!
-
-
AmethystD.May 10, 20029When I 1st watched this movie i was baffled so i had 2 watch it again. Then I understood it... I LOVED it! Then I watched it again and again!!! I cried at the end even though i knew it was coming.
-
-
TomS.May 14, 200210Ceaslessly imaginative and refreshing; brilliantly directed and musically arranged; heart wrenching and poignant. Gets my vote for best film of 2001.
-
-
BeckyS.May 1, 20024It was pretty, but that's all it had. & the second you saw something nice to look at to get your mind off the trite story line, it was ripped away from you by the crazy, i-think- i'm-having-a-seizure editing.
-
-
JoM.May 25, 20021While I do appreciate the artistic talent and imaginative filmmaking here, I think it is an ultimately bad movie. If Nicole Kidman wasn't such a perfectly exquisite pleasure to watch, I would have walked out of the movie.
-
-
HaleyZ.May 3, 200210It was the best love story I have ever seen. It is my new favorite movie!!
-
-
NatalieK.May 30, 200210I thought that this movie was so great. it isnt like other movies. it makes you feel like your watching a play with an extremely large stage. and u r in the play but u have no lines or purpose but u r there. I loved it because it was romantic and fairytale like!
-
-
AmandaA.May 9, 200210OMG this is the best movie ever. The music, dancing, and the love.
-
-
ZoeP.Jun 19, 200210One of the best films I have ever seen, it made me sing, dance and at the end it made me cry like a baby.
-
-
CaitlinL.Jun 2, 200210I just want to say that I LOVE this movie. It's so big and beautiful and over the top, and I love that. Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor are both wonderful, and their voices are beautiful.
-
-
HeatherJul 14, 200210I absolutely loved this movie!! I had heard mixed reviews about it and was worried about what I was going to see but it's absolutely brilliant!! I'm in Winterguard and there were 4 guards that done a show to 3 of the songs. We did Diamonds, Madisonville-North Hopkins A did Your Song and Eklipse did Roxanne and did beautifully on it I may add. Another guard did it to Roxanne too.
-
-
JordanW.Jul 1, 200210I would have to say I absolutly loved this movie. It had something for everyone but what I loved the most was the songs and the chemistry between the two lead characters. It was a brilliant film, I recomend it to everyone.
-
-
FayeP.Jul 24, 200210A fantastic film that can be watched over and over again with just as much enjoyment.
-
-
MatthewH.Jul 25, 200210Undescribable....
-
-
IlzeS.Jul 29, 200210This movie is very dynamic and musical. I loved it. Nicole Kidman's Satine and Ewan McGregor's Cristian are very beautiful. I think this movie is great film. I liked Kidman's and McGregor's voices.
-
-
MollyM.Jul 3, 200210I would give it more than a 10 if I could!! This is the best movie ever and everyone should go see it!!
-
-
RandyAug 27, 20029I ran out and bought the sound track! Ewen and Nicole give surpizing singing performances which added a lot of emotion to the movie as a whole. I loved the incorperation of the tribute songs! The movie is visually stunning.
-
-
AlishaV.Aug 5, 200210This was a wonderful movie. It was filled with beautiful people, tremendous energy, great remakes of classic songs and love. They do sing a lot but Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor have beautiful voices. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and bought the DVD the first chance that I got.
-
-
SamanthaB.Jan 3, 200310A movie that grabs your attention from the first note & keeps it until the bittersweet end. The music provides a link to contemporary culture & makes it universal across all ages.
-
-
SatineMar 10, 200310If I could I'd rate this movie a 15. But it doesn't go that high so I'll have to say 10. I LOVE this movie so much and I think Ewan is "Spectacular, Spectacular!" He is so perfect as Christian!
-
-
RosemarieC.Mar 19, 200310I love Nicole Kidman. I love the Moulin Rouge And 4 those that gave it a 3 then you suck! this movie rules! it changed my life! it went from sad to happy to sad to happy and to sad to happy! Its cool! it made me cry. i never cried for a movie before.
-
-
EmilyW.Apr 7, 200310EWAN CAN SING! and for those of you who gave it 9 or under 'what drivel do you watch'. I did happen to notice that those who gave it a low rate were male and what sense do they have.Thouroghly enjoyable film. EWAN RULES.
-
-
KimG.Aug 5, 200310Ewan McGregor's voice was enough to make me want to watch Moulin Rouge time and time again. This movie was both a story of a love worth fighting for, a love overcoming all obstacles, and a tragedy that cuts a live short.
-
-
GustavoH.R.Jan 11, 20046Ridiculous, over-the-top, nonsensical, overrated.
-
-
MonicaH.Jan 28, 200410This movie was fantastic!!!Those who think otherwise need more experience thinking outside the box!
-
-
RobertA.Apr 10, 20048Special in so many different ways. tangles music like a box of chocolates. it is still amazing Smells Like Teen Spirit is in this movie. awesome. very nice visuals. this movie's music is quite great. love the sounds. hope you did too! ^_^ tata.
-
-
CaseyM.Apr 29, 20049I thought it was a great movie but it was just to sad but if that was not the ending i would have like it more.
-
-
BobB.May 10, 200410This movie is hilarious and REALLY good and i loved every minute..... plus Ewan McGregor's voice is the sexiest there ever was.
-
-
AdamSJun 23, 20050Reckon on having seen literally 1000's of films and being decently objective but this film has to be bottom of the pile. An absolute and utter shocker. To think this is the director who brought us Strictly Ballroom and Romeo + Juliet. Couldn't stop laughing at Ewen McGregor trying to sing. Hysterical for all the wrong reasons
-
-
JamieS.Feb 9, 200610This movie combined the best of musical theatre and modern cinema. The p.d. technology and charming antiquity meet and blend beautifully in this piece. Kudos!
-
-
JuanP.Jul 3, 200710Fantastic film, great cast, great music. Nicole K. is spectacular spectacular.
-
-
NickiAug 20, 200710I loved this movie it deserves way over a ten! It was so much fun to watch, I could watch it over and over again. Definetly is my favorite movie, the music, the acting, the costumes, everything was amazing and definetly worth your time!
-
-
GodyP.Aug 25, 200710The best of 2001! A masterpiece!
-

C?hatT.Jul 31, 200810The Best Thing You Will Ever Learn is to love and be loved in return... This movie will always be my best.
-
-
CARLDMay 30, 200910I saw it--several times. I luv it! I bought it-DVD...where is Blu-Ray version?....stunning visual work....filmmakers art masterpiece....Not for the artistically deprived !...which may explain some bewildered comments.
-

ChristoherH.Nov 13, 200110Can't understand people that go out and feel nothing. It's just the unbelievable expression of feelings in all media being receivable through a cinema-screen.

GabriellaD.Oct 16, 200110It is just soo amazing!!!
-
-
LynW.Oct 19, 200110Ewan's voice amazed me and I have heard him sing before! But not like this. The love affair, though doomed from the start, gives one hope and a general feeling of happiness.
-
-
SamM.Oct 21, 20019Great Music.
-
-
60It's the kind of flourish that makes you smile -- that makes you believe in the power of movies.
-
70McGregor, the movie's most engaging performer, is convincing enough to sell the mutual attraction. The "Trainspotting" star is usually playing some kind of freak, and this is a nice stretch for him.
-
50The film musical is at the moment an even more devitalized art form than the Broadway musical. But Moulin Rouge doesn't revive it. It only rearranges the bones.
