Amazing musical, very cutting edge.

Rating: 8/10 (16 June 2004)

Personally, I thought McGregor and Kidman were excellent, as were Roxburgh and Leguizamo. The musical numbers were done quite well, and I found a good bit of humor in the usage of modern-day songs in the storyline. I appreciated this movie much more after the second and third viewings. Ewan McGregor does a more than credible job of carrying his role, and I wasn't aware he had such a piercing tenor. I was not put off by some of the camera work and visual imagery as some other reviewers - I found the frequently changing camera angles to be much more of a visual enhancement than a distraction, which added to the overall effect of the film.
8/10
