Critics Consensus

A rousing and energetic adaptation of the Broadway musical, Chicago succeeds on the level of pure spectacle, but provides a surprising level of depth and humor as well.

Look: it's a very fun watch, and the incorporation of musical numbers as part of a vaudeville performance running parallel to the action is excellently creative. There are some really eye-catching visuals in here ("We Both Reached For The Gun" and "Roxie" have my personal favorites), so all-in-all, it's a very enjoyable evening for anyone not opposed to some salacious razzle-dazzle. That said, it's not particularly deep or impactful persay, so I'd recommend it mostly for people in want of the spectacle.

It is an absolute shame that Rob Marshall never made anything after 'Chicago' that didn't have its level of ambition, spectacle, humour, personality, and depth. I couldn't understand it at first, but as I watched it, I could very easily understand why it won the Academy Award for Best Picture.

Un muy buen musical, una historia digna de un clásico Chicago, bien explicado y entrelazando cada personaje expresando y cantando de buena manera, con escenarios muy bien realizados.

Sleek and stylish, this film entails the media's love for murderers with a musical flush! As two imprisoned killers attempt to avoid the noose, they begin to swing the media to their side through some fluorescent flare and deranged dance numbers. Whether you hate these characters are not, this is not a musical of good triumphing, especially in Chicago!

Chicago's so engrossing that you even forget to reach out for the Coke n' popcorn. Now isn't that entertainment!

In effect it is filmed theatre, but this brings its own compensations: the more fake Chicago looks, the more real it seems to get.

What makes this more than a film of a great stage show is the way that the action spills seamlessly from the stage sets into real life. Magic.

A couple of songs were left behind and I find the rat-a-tat editing distracting from the performances and musical numbers.... [T]he mercenary spirit and the splashy musical numbers, however, give the entire cast their moment in the spotlight

A Good Movie To Watch

Marshall revitalises the genre by imbuing its past with new life, respectful and panegyric at the same time.

Renée Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones are incredible as the murderous pair imprisoned for their wrongdoings.
