Freddy V @RT18427309 7h A real turkey. Johnny Depp spends half the movie reading books, and the other half meeting nonsensical characters. See more Richard L @KaneLives Aug 5 An endless fetch-quest leading absolutely nowhere, The Ninth Gate is extremely heavy-handed, from its stilted plot through exposition-heavy dialogue and overpresent soundtrack, all the while seemingly attempting to present as 'mysterious'. Marred by an uncharacteristically painful performance from Depp and a complete failure to build any tension in spite of its subject matter, its piss-poor ending ensures the only thought going through one's mind after finishing the arduous journey is a hellish 'Why?'.

The ambience, mystery, music and actors. The storyline, it is true, is a bit slow, but I do think the storyline and the plot really evades some people. I think RT was a little too hard on this movie but I also know that to a lot of people the ending was not good enough. But if you look at it as a whole in what was actually going on, I think you could learn to appreciate it more. This movie is a gem, and is still one of my favorites.

I love the mood and ambiance, and Johnny Depp does such a good job that I always want to start smoking Lucky Strike cigarettes and collecting books. The plot is a bit nonsensical and the ending is a bit “huh?” but if you watch it not expecting a grand plan you might enjoy the ride. It’s very European and has such odd affects. Like Johnny Depp needs a car so his companion steals a red Dodge Viper. Not a Citroen or a Fiat, but the oddest and most American vehicle in France. It’s so odd but if you just go with it, it’s fine. See more ARG VIROX T @AVGVSTVS May 24 A really enjoyable film. It's true that it tends to be a bit slow, but I really liked the atmosphere it creates. I recommend this film to people interested in occult-related fiction. The ending left me wanting more, but that's what's interesting about this film; there's nothing spectacular, and everything is designed so that the viewer can imagine what will happen next.
