Movie Reviews of The Libertine
Movie Review: I was hypnotized....
Summary: 5 Stars
Johnny Depp has gone from obscure guy on 21 jump street to sheer brilliance onscreen. This man is one of the best actors because he takes risks and believes in what he does. I was riveted, and couldn't take my eyes off him for a single second, even when it become hard to look. I wanted to be one the women he was with if just a second. This movie's cinematography is brilliant. It was shot as though you were looking at a colorized silent movie. Dark, ugly at times, but always hypnotic and not easy to forget. This movie is a sheer triumph of what superb acting can do to bring compelling historical figures lives to the masses. See this film!Movie Review: Not Normally A Fan Of Period Peaces
Summary: 5 Stars
But, upon seeing this on cable more than once, Johnny Depp gives an absolutely mermerizing performance that has to be seen to be believed. I can't see any other actor out there who could do with this role what Depp did. Great writing for Depp and he delivers. This film is a true chronicle to sly debauchery and you won't find a better messenger than Johnny Depp in this role. One of those rare movies with a great beginning, middle and ending. If you are like me and might be prejudiced into thinking it isn't your cup of tea, give it a chance. The worst you will see is a performance worthy of an Oscar.Movie Review: In a nutshell
Summary: 5 Stars
In an era where we are bombarded by hundreads of box-office-missile type of mainstream comercial films a lot of which vary little in their mold and presentation, The Libertine stands out as a true brilliant work of filmmaking.
Seeing how lenghty reviews abound, I'd just like to point out a few things that make this film great:
-Great aesthetic presentation.
-Great cast.
-Great musical score by Mr. Nyman.
-Great acting.
-Great story.
Can't really ask for more!
Kudos to John Malkovich and co. for producing this.
Movie Review: Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an amazing movie on all levels. This is not a "Hollywood" movie so if you want great battle scenes and explosions this isn't the one for you. This is a great piece of historical fiction based on an extremely interesting character. The sub plots weave throughout flawlessly instead of distracting. Even the bit parts were played to perfection. How it makes it's final point is intelligent and heartbreaking. Top 10 movies of all time for me.Movie Review: See this movie and decide for yourself
Summary: 5 Stars
Johnny Depp's performance in this stunning film is beyond anything he has done before. You will see dimensions of his talent that will only become deeper and richer with time.
This movie casts it's spell and is difficult to leave behind. Against the Earl's best advice, I cannot help but like him.
Do not let the critics influence you about this film. See it for yourself and decide. Your time will not be wasted.
