Moulin Rouge

Pros: Visually stunning, fantastic music, touching story
Cons: None.

It's easy to draw conclusions about Moulin Rouge at first glance: It pops with visual effects, boasts a catchy chart-topping song, and stars redheaded boxoffice bombshell Nicole Kidman. For all of these reasons and more, let Moulin Rouge surprise you -...

Pros: A whizzbang soundtrack, vibrant visuals, good comedy, and a decent plot.
Cons: I'm not in this movie...

I'm sorry, I don't speak French nor am I qualified to speak it, so if I inadvertantly insulted your mother's sideburns, please accept my humblest of apologies.

But as long as you're here, Let's talk about Moulin Rouge, shall we?

...

Pros: Colorful, Whimsical, Romantic and Fun
Cons: Simple, in the way that musicals can be; music buffs either love/hate the score

How to describe this movie? Single words speak volumes about it: Brilliant. Silly. Whimsical. Clever. Passionate. Oh, and 'Musical'. Very musical. "The greatest gift you'll ever learn is just to love, and be loved in return." ...

Pros: Very strong singing from Ewan; very spectacular.
Cons: At times a little too fast

Moulin Rouge is surprising to say the least; it takes risks that immediately open it up to criticism, supplying stunning visuals, flamboyant melodies and excessiveness that borders on the dangerous. It is designed to be head turning, and at times with...

Pros: the songs, the voices, the production design, Kidman and MacGregor.
Cons: Typical melodramatic trifle

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve had the experience, if that is the proper word, of viewing Moulin Rouge, but I think that I’m still fairly qualified to critique the picture, considering that this film is rather difficult to forget, for better or for...

Pros: The most gaudy, garish, glittery, flashy, confusingly brilliant musical ever!
Cons: The most gaudy, garish, glittery, flashy, confusingly brilliant musical ever!

My teenage daughter loves it, and I'm still kicking myself for having bought it instead of just renting it. Yes, I'm talking about the most recent musical version of Moulin Rouge, the movie. Having seen and loved the Jose Ferrer/Toulouse-Lautrec...

Pros: Singing
Cons: story development

A very strange movie indeed Moulin Rouge should grab the attention of not only romance lovers or play lovers but comedy lovers as well. The whole movie felt as if it was a BROADWAY play. Not just because of the singing but because of the costume design...

Pros: Wonderful costumes and lots of singing and dancing.
Cons: A little too much singing and dancing

With some Wal-Mart bought Heath Bites and Skittles creating “inconspicuous” bulges in my pockets, my girlfriend and I were off to a matinee showing of Moulin Rouge. After the previews, the Twentieth Century Fox intro began, only this time there was a...

Pros: Great musical numbers, stunning visuals, Ewan MacGregor
Cons: Slightly trite story, a little too frenetic, too long

A wise man once said, "A movie can ask you to suspend your disbelief once. If you can buy it that once, everything else should not be a leap of logic." For example, if you believe that dinosaurs are brought back to life, you should have no trouble...

Pros: Pretty colors induce a euphoric state, Nicole Kidman is in it
Cons: Where or how did they work up the nerve to destroy those great songs?

Upon my first viewing of Moulin Rouge, I really didn't know what to think. The only thing I knew for sure was that this was a spectacle if there ever was one. There's lots of singing, lots of dancing, great camera work and cinematography, and...

Pros: Anachronistic songs, great dances, great production, extremely funny scenes
Cons: Sometimes TOO lavish, a bit TOO expected at times

Moulin Rouge, this lavish musical production featuring Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman, is a great spin on on the traditional love triangle tragedy. All the modern songs only adds value to a musical. The dance scenes are breathtaking. However, at times,...

Pros: Lavish Production Values Make This a Visually Beautiful-Looking Movie
Cons: A Quick-Cut Filmmaking Style Turns Film Into Mind-Numbingly Excruciating Experience

Synopsis: Told in an extended flashback, an idealistic English writer named Christian (Ewan McGregor) has just moved to Paris when a troupe of performers from the Moulin Rouge almost literally fall on his head. The star of this troupe is the ...

Pros: Music, choreography, story
Cons: Ending

Baz Lurhman, most noted for the modern version of Romeo and Juliet and the Sunscreen song, has come out with another brilliant piece of work. Moulin Rouge contains the strange acting, odd shots, and bright color schemes that make Luhrman films unique...

Pros: A movie that I loved - even though I wanted to hate it
Cons: It is a musical...and I can't imagine men would like this film

I really wanted to hate ‘Moulin Rouge.’ Nicole Kidman is not annoying (unlike many actresses), and Ewan McGregor is not a bad thing, even if Jar-Jar Binks happens to be present in the same movie. However, this is a musical, i.e. a film where the actors...

Pros: Luhrmann's direction is a real accomplishment, McGregor, Kidman and Broadbent are fantastic...
Cons: Leguizamo is not really very good.

“Moulin Rouge”… “Moulin Rouge”… “Moulin Rouge”… I had the distinct pleasure to watch the new film by Baz Luhrmann on Friday night. Why I am I just posting my opinion now? Why didn’t I rush to my computer to start spreading the word? I simply couldn’t...
