Somethings are left unsaid

Rating: 1/10 (2 April 2002)

Recently my wife and I saw Moulin Rouge and I have to be the first to admit how wrong I could be. When she mentioned she wanted to see this film, I thought "oh God! This is going to be horrible!" and boy was I ever wrong.

This has to be the worst movie ever released (I am talking worse than such bad flicks as Yor, Armed and Dangerous, and even any cheese late night b-movie on Showtime.) I hardly could stand the sight of this so-called "artistic wonderment" without wondering to myself if it was possible to have this film banned as a cruel and unusual punishment.
I have no idea why anyone would consider this movie a "GREAT" film other than those who spend their time talking about the esoteric qualities of Dadaism and the writings of Voltaire.
The plot (?) was highly predictable and the characters were less evolved than those from "Dude, Where's My Car?" The only thing that could have made this film worse is the addition of the "cut-scenes" that are provided on the DVD version.
I hate to be so harsh on this film that it seems has found some fan-friendly audience but I would rather wish that my friends live with a colostomy bag than to see this movie.
