This film has ADD

Rating: 3/10 (6 June 2001)

The easiest way to describe this film is that this movie has Attention Deficit Disorder and only very rarely does it take its ritolin. And when it does slow down, the movie still isn't good.
Most of the film is comprised of meaningless cuts at an extremely rapid pace so that things are not on the screen for more than half a second. And this just hurt my eyes. Especially because the colors are vibrant and really leap out. Its like watching a music video which is already too fast on fast forward.
When the film is not going off at this crazy pace, it is then comprised of extreme close-ups. The camera is so close on peoples faces that most of the time they do not even fit on the screen. And for some of the people, like the owner of Moulin Rouge, it is way too close and down right scary.
A problem that I have heard most people had with the movie, if they had a problem with it, was the music. And that was one of the few tolerable things with it. Unlike the absolutely ridiculous music of A Knight's Tale, this music is incorporated into the movie well. At least here they make it like the music is original, even though it isn't. Don't get me wrong, I didn't enjoy the music, but its at least tolerable.
There is not much good about this film. The story is 100% unoriginal and the film hurts your eyes. The tagline says that Club Moulin Rouge is an experience you will never forget. And that's true, Club Moulin Rouge is an experience you will never forget, but not because it was good, but because you will get ADD from watching it.
