Pure Theatre at the cinema!! "spectacular spectacular"

Rating: 10/10 (5 July 2001)

This is a film I've been waiting all year to see and I wasn't disappointed. The visuals are just amazing. The emotional impact of music and song in a film has been missing for so long it's great to have it back with this amazing treat. The acting was great (though a little corny at times), the set designs left my jaw gaping open and the songs were 'spectacular spectacular', the modern twist made you want to sing along as you watched. Well done to Ewan and Nicole who can both sing brilliantly!!
This is arty blockbuster at it's best and a film you can see again and again just due to the pace and beauty of the production, pure theatre on the cinema screen. I've been waiting for a long time to see a love story where there's actual chemistry between the leads, the emotion seemed throughly believable. I laughed, I cried and I wanted to see it again once it finished. A cult classic in the making!!

Thank you Baz Luhrmann for giving me a throughly enjoyable evening, Please make more films like this!! The musical is back with a bang (and feathers)!!
***** out of ***** I'd give this film more if I could!!! this is definatly in my top 10 favorite films.
