Abysmal

Rating: 1/10 (10 September 2001)

Truly one of the worst films I have ever seen in my entire life, strip away the incessant hideously garish performance (I'm sorry, but some fat guy dancing around singing a butchered version of Madonna's "Like a virgin" does absolutely nothing for me) and there is no film!
There is only one good thing I can say about Moulin Rouge and that is that Ewan McGregor has a great voice, which unfortunately does nothing to rescue the plight of this film.
It amazes me that so many people are saying this is a great film. At my local cinema, as soon the story indicated that the film was finishing over half of the cinema were already leaving the theatre, myself included! The only reason I didn't walk out earlier is because I would have resented paying money for not watching a film and now I can tell other people not to bother!
