Its about time.

Rating: 9/10 (13 March 2002)

"Moulin Rouge" is a spectacular film. I generally don't like musicals at all, but I really had fun with this film. It is expertly directed by Baz Lurmann, whose talents were unfortunately wasted in the overindulgent "Romeo and Juliet." He has made a film which lights up the screen almost from beginning to end (emphasis on almost - there are one or two relatively dark scenes).
Lots of people didn't like "Moulin Rouge" because of the story, not only those who posted comments on the IMDb, but most of people I talked to personally about the film. Personally, I like the story, and I think that the extraordinary cast does a terrific job of acting it out. This film is full of energy, excitement, great music, great acting, and great fun. I gave it a 9/10. I recommend to everyone. If you don't like it, apparently you're not alone. If you do like it, however, then you're a real human being.
