Moulin Rouge! (2001)

Not even bad in a good way

Just so...so bad

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This is a movie that i can't quite put my finger on, but over thinking about it, i relized that it was ok, but a guilty pleasure. there are some good preformances like Christain and Zidler's preformances weren't bad, but there are scenes with Satine doing an insane routine to seduce the duke, and then there's the duke yelling "I JUST DON"T LIKE OTHER PEOPLE TOUCHING MY THINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" kind of makes you wonder whether or not this was a comedy. the paing is also bad, but the pathos, sets and some laughably bad scenes were good. but theres still some plot holes like why not just tell the duke she's dying? and the songs were hit or miss. all in all, you can see it, but man, those flaws are noticable, and so are the pros

A great movie, that happens mainly on the french Moulin Rouge (hence the name), and which talks about love on a very musical way.17 years have past, and I think this should be considered as a classic by now, and surely if you like musicals mixed with romance, this film is a must see.

'Moulin Rouge' is an experience. From the first seconds in the story takes you away to Montmartre, a bohemian place which you might have heard of, or you didn't even knew it existed. Either way the whole atmosphere and environment of this film will make you feel like you are there with the characters, and you are lucky to be the third person to see whats happening over there.I've watched this film many times, and every time it just amazes me, especially the music. The songs were always great. "Roxanne" and "Your song" were always beautiful to me. But except for those songs there are a lot of great musical pearls in 'Moulin Rouge!'. The passion that McGregor and Kidman deliver in all those songs is just amazing. I'm not too proud to admit it, but every time i hear "come what may" I cry. Because sometimes you have given up on love and when these two marvelous actors sing that song, it makes you want to believe again.For me the whole story is a masterpiece, because you are in a a story which tells about a theater play (kind of inception) while the two are connected in every way. Every time I see it I see more references from the story to the play, and discovering new things is always fun. When you've watched a movie once you already know whats going to happen in the end. But when you still want to watch it again and get touched by all the great scenes including the ending, you know that this movies is definitely worth a 10 out of 10.

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)
