Moulin Rouge - Page 3

It was kind of boring at first, but I'd say try and watch it all.

You can't make an accurate opinion on something you've only watched the rather slow beginning of. :P

Yeah, it gets better.

How on earth can you get bored in the first half an hour or so of Moulin Rouge?! The first third of the movie is fantastic, completely manic and compelling. I love the film as a whole the only problem is that first third unbalances the rest of the movie as you keep waiting for something to top it and nothing does (Jim Broadbent singing Like A Virgin comes petty close though). Baz Luhrmann's frantic editing and the like tends to induce adulation and contempt in equal measures, but I love his films. Was robbed at the Oscars too (A Beautiful Mind? hah! - and then the mediocre Chicago comes along the next year and wins tons of Oscars despite being nowhere near as good a musical)

I love, love, love that movie. I was completely shocked when I watched it, because it looked so incredibly stupid. Which, it kind of was, but for me that's the beauty of it.

I think Moulin Rouge is a very good movie. The music and the musical scenes are really good, and I like the overblown fantasy aspect in them (such as the singing moon and whatnot). I'm amazed Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman could actually sing that well. The storyline is quite emotional, and overall the movie was enjoyable.

Oh, I assure you, the constant and limitless torment I endured was not boring.

I can think of precisely zero movies this could beat at the Oscars. Not even Uwe Boll is this bad.

*poll*

The first time I watched it I thought it was mediocre. But the more I started thinking about it, the more I thought....man. What the hell WAS that. I pretty much agree with Shlup on what she said. It was so pretty! But there was nothing there. No depth. Plah.

I thought it was interesting how they put popular songs and meshed them into the storyline. I loved the scenery, but thought the movie as a whole was meh.

Ugh, no Uwe Boll's movies are far more horrific. When I see a movie worse than his (which I hope I don't) it will definitely not be Moulin Rouge.
