A great film let down by the first 2 minutes. The narration at the start tells you what is going to happen.
However, a great entertaining film all the same. Making use of modern music to tell the story in what is really a modern Opera, this film has some wonderfull bits. The use of Queen's The show must go On is outstanding. Worth buying

Luhrmann is capable of doing so much better
Review date: 2007-11-04 Rating: 6 out of 10
Lavish and lush, but also pointless, full of camp and without wit. It seemed to me to be an adolescent's idea of sophistication. The direction was frenetic and I assume Luhrmann was aiming for an eccentric, romantic, funny style. For me, he didn't come close. The use of more-or-less contemporary popular songs just seemed to be "nudge, nudge" and unfunny. The dancing as well as the setups for the singing seemed clunky. The can-can sequence was all over the place; check out Renoir's French Cancan to see how a bawdy, rowdy can-can should be staged. Kidman has always seemed to me to be a somewhat cold, self-possessed actress. I was surprised at how loosened up she was here. Luhrmann was so good with Strictly Ballroom, where he used the same elements of exaggeration, talking directly to the camera, lush photography and a distinct style to great effect. You could almost see him pushing everything way to the brink with Moulin Rouge. This was a real disappointment.

Yes this is the worst film i have ever seen. I had to leave half way through because the bright flashing red lights made me feel sick. I am in shock. I cant believe this, it really is that bad! really bad, bad, no really bad! No, really this is the worst film ever!

I watched this film with little hope of being impressed but by the time the closing credits came on I was in tears.
this film is a mix of snappy editing, special effects and a 60ft elephant shaped building!!
so romantic!
