...might be the most magical of movies about movies precisely because it doesn’t insist on the magic of movies.

Warner Bros. gives its greatest musical yet another substantial home-video upgrade with a gorgeous 4K disc that maximizes the films visual and auditory ravishments.

Willamette Week

It’s an extravaganza of color, joy and mockery of hokey romances, but perhaps above all, you couldn’t re-create the miracle of Gene Kelly’s footwork with a billion-dollar supercomputer and a contract with the devil.

It's a unique work of art crafted for the screen by a studio (MGM) at its height.

You would never know that this wasn’t produced with the intention of creating a near-perfect masterpiece. The results of the difficult production are seamless.

Delightful movie, made the old fashion way. No computer graphics, no explosions, no improbable stunts. Plenty of singing, dancing, and humor. Overall a very entertaining, upbeat movie. I dont think ive ever smiled so much over the course of a movie before.

I can see why this is considered a classic. It's got great music, fun dance pieces, and the classic musical vibe. What more could you ask for?

I had to watch this film for my Introduction To The Film class in college, didn't have any expectations, but while watching it, I loved it. The dance numbers were beautifully done and everyone hear was a great actor/actress. No wonder many people love this movie

“Dignity, always dignity.”—Don Lockwood EN. My review on Singin’ in the Rain (1952) It's a beautiful gift to golden era of filmmaking, the transition from the silent silver screen to the talkies & Musicals. It shows how filmmaking was in the good ol' days. This is the movie which inspired Babylon (2022) but, it's a friendly, beautiful film. It's a movie that is loved by every Cinephile, I am out of words to explain how good the actors were. No performance is perfect but, Singin’ in the Rain (1952) made me doubt that. It has mild inappropriate scenes & references (more like non) OVERALL RATING: (10/10) AR. تقييمي لفيلم Singin’ in the Rain (1952) الفيلم هدية جميلة لعصر السينما الذهبي، الانتقال من الشاشة الصامتة للأفلام الى أفلام الحوارات وأغاني. يورّينا كيف كانت صناعة الأفلام زمان، أيام الزمن الجميل. هذا هو الفيلم اللي ألهم Babylon (2022)، بس الفرق، هنا فيلم لطيف، جميل، وودّي مرة. فيلم يحبه كل عاشق للسينما، وأنا بصراحة خلصت كلماتي من كثر ما الممثلين أبدعوا. مافي أداء مثالي؟ الفيلم هذا يخليني أشك بهالكلام. فيه شوية مشاهد أو تلميحات غير لائقة (أو بالكاد موجودة). التقييم النهائي: (10/10)

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
