Awesome

Rating: Null/10 (25 January 2002)

Like many others, I read the reviews on this movie and passed it up. I saw it on the shelves and passed it up. I saw Nicole Kidman win a Golden Globe for her performance and decided, "Why not". I struggled for my one line summary and while so many words tried to fill the text, only "Awesome" emerged.
I grew up a fan of musicals and of large ensemble casts. Movies with Fred Astaire (Singin' In The Rain, Top Hat, Swing Time), Marilyn Monroe (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes), and classics such as The Sound of Music, The Wizard of Oz, Music Man. So I am pleased that finally a movie of my generation - one with grandiose singing and dancing can rank among timeless classics.
Nicole and Ewan McGregor pull off amazing performances in this wonderful movie. The cinematics are sure to leave you bedazzled. The lights, the sounds, the imagery, the imagination of Baz Lurhmann is nothing short of spectacular.
If you are not able to see this on the big screen, I suggest you find the largest T.V. you can find, turn up the sound, sit back and enjoy this treat for your senses.
