Don't need to see it again

Rating: Null/10 (2 August 2003)

The good: A visually gorgeous film. Eye candy in the best sense of the term. Good performances, even by the usually unlikable John Leguizamo. The movie was fun, funny, and fairly compelling. But...
The bad: I still, to this day, can't understand how Satine fell in love McGregor's character (can't remember his name). It just seemed like, "Oh, I hate you, can't stand you, despise you...(pause) Ok, now I love you." Also, I didn't care for the use of anachronism in this movie, nor did I care for it in Romeo and Juliet.
It's a good film to watch once, but that horribly overrated soundtrack and unlikely love of Kidman and McGregor will preclude me from ever watching it again.
