All Style and No Substance

Rating: 1/10 (25 July 2002)

Moulin Rouge is all style and no substance. There is certainly a lot to look at and a lot to listen to, but you won't care. This is a long and boring movie. The characters are one-dimensional. You won't care what happens to them. The story is silly and predictable. You will know the ending very soon. The direction is horrible. The camera keeps jumping all over the place too fast. Moulin Rouge is like an extremely long music video.
