Watching this film, I wore a stunned look of amazement on my face.

Rating: 1/10 (21 March 2003)

I just didn't expect any movie to be so bad. I will never believe the critics and the academy awards people again. I like musicals, and this was an insult. Is it trying to revitalize the musical, spoof musicals or kill the musical dead so it never sings another note? No original songs, just borrowed lyrics. Kidman isn't one of the greatest actresses out there but this is her all time worst. I liked her in the others though. Direction for this film, well, it gave me a headache, style over substance. Weak plot. Jesus Christ Superstar kicks this films a$$ a hundred times over. See that if you want to see a good musical. West side story's pretty good too. But whatever you do stay away from Moulin Rouge.
