Spectacular Spectacular!!

Rating: 10/10 (30 May 2001)

After reading the many comments already posted, I'm not sure what I can add, except I Love This Movie!! Not since "Titanic" has a movie gotten me this excited!! Even though they are very different movies, they have the same "feel" to them, i.e the long lines of people waiting to get in; the heart-wrenching love story; audiences clapping throughout and at the end; at least half the theater sitting through all the credits. I've seen it twice and will definitely see it at least a few more times.
There is so much visually to take in that it is impossible to catch everything in one showing. Baz Luhrman did a remarkable job. I really enjoyed his version of Romeo & Juliet, but this even surpasses that!
Nicole Kidman & Ewan McGregor were amazing and so good together. And who knew they could sing so well! I agree this movie is probably not for everyone, but even if you are not a "fan" of musicals this will "knock your socks off!" It is a roller coaster ride of emotions & visual & musical stimuli that will leave you breathless - and running back for more!
I really hope the "critics" are not too hard on this wonderful movie. Sometimes it seems like they feel it it their job to find fault with movies rather than "experience" them. This is one movie that is definitely an Experience!!
Please, go see it and you will not be disappointed. It is definitely a 10/10!!
