Awful! The worst film of 2001!

Rating: 1/10 (31 December 2002)

This is probablly THE MOST over-rated movie of all time, next to the Sound of Music. This movie was terrible and had to be the worst film of 2001. It was a visual kaleidescope, outrageous costumes, beautiful cinematography, awesome production design- but that didn't cut it. After the first hour...the writing but dragged on...and on...and on....the elephant meledy is stunning...but after that musical numbers like "Like a Virgin" and "Roxanne" are horrible....the acting isn't much either except for Nicole Kidman who carries the film..I much preferred her role in the The Others..the writing is terribly predictable and nothing special either...Baz Luhrman tried to do something unique and artistic...all I got out of it was a headache....Moulin Rouge is one of those movies you either love or hate....I just think its a movie using pop songs and hot stars to get box-office bucks........
