Paul D Nov 24 The statistical fact that this masterpiece of a movie only receives a 39% approval rating is a disgrace. The beauty of the movie should alone earn it 70 out of 100. That doesn't even include the storyline, the award winning stars, and the modest request in musical performance (among even more or equal to exceptional other performances) by a presumed non-italian to sprinkle a lil bit of Italian in everything! Tu eres muy loco if you think this movie is not that great. See more Robert B Mar 15 Great entertainment. Spectacular dance routines. A lot to like See more Jacob B Mar 4 Atrocious! The material that this film is based on (the legendary film maker Fellini’s masterpiece “8 1/2” and the Broadway musical adaptation of that film) is practically flawless. Yet somehow the director of this travesty has decided to throw away more than half of the score of the show, turn the main character from a complex artist on the verge of a creative breakdown/break through into a one note egocentric chauvinist, and most sacrilegiously he and the screenwriter have made a film about film making as cinematically inert as a Liftetime Channel movie of the week. The genius of Fellini’s original was that he found a new and unique cinematic language for a semi autobiographical film about an artist who couldn’t find anything new or unique to say. The Broadway musical “Nine”, operating without the obvious advantages of a camera, still focuses heavily on the artistic process and retains much of the dream like quality of the film and much of its irony ( and features one of the most beautiful scores of any musical). But somehow Rob Marshal has decided that he would excise most of what came before and make an extended music video, a la MTV. This worked for his other foray into film musicals, “Chicago” — a show about the shallowness of American society and its worship of celebrity. For that his style was a perfect fit! Unfortunately it doesn’t work here, for the true heart of “8 1/2” and “Nine” is man’s search for his soul through art, something this film has none of. Wasted cast, wasted opportunity. See more Korra N 10/22/2024 Half-baked and void of any real emotion or depth, NINE isn't a bad movie, but it's not that good either. See more James R 02/06/2024 Fantastic! NINE is an audacious, sexy, sleek feast of a movie. Dances beyond the limits of what a musical can be. The story of Guido Contini's life and legacy is so inviting, and each female cast member grabs their chance to shine and steals the show. Everything is stylish and beautiful throughout the film, leading up to a semi-tragic ending and a surreal closing scene that will leave you deep in thought. One to watch again and again. Musical cinema at its very best! See more Antony P 11/06/2023 I just adore this movie.. sick of all the negative Nancy and moaning Myrtles.. also these women are the best actress singers I have ever heard, I do realise fergie is an actual musician so wasn't talking about her.. but her song is great See more Read all reviews
