Movie Reviews of The Ninth Gate
Movie Review: Polanski's last plodding steps
Summary: 2 Stars
Fluff. With a certain Agatha Christie quality. No great meditation on Good and Evil. Just a shallow diversion to pass an evening. It descends into low comedy when Emmanuelle Seigner flies down a staircase and gives the villain a karate kick. I think a lot of people would turn the movie off at this point. As a matter of fact, I did. I couldn't imagine something further along that could justify this foolishness.Movie Review: damaged when opened
Summary: 1 Stars
The movie looked like it was fine, but when I played it made this horrendous noise and started vibrating. I am going to exchange it , but I will be getting another copy of it. I love this movie!Movie Review: Superb effort for Depp and Polanski
Summary: 5 Stars
As other reviewers have stated, this is not your modern computer-generated-image horror story with out of this world screen monsters. Instead, we get a great adult horror/suspense film which should keep you glued to the screen. Subtle imagery and plot twists make this film extremely easy to recommend.
I love this movie and have played it over several times. The vision from Polanski is almost as good as "Chinatown." Well, almost anyway. So sit back, get out the popcorn and don't miss a scene. You'll be well rewarded. Highly recommended.
Movie Review: Gaining the Angel of Light's Favor
Summary: 5 Stars
Johnny Depp once again gives an excellent performance as a book appraiser who is hired by a very rich and powerful man to authenticate his copy of a book supposedly written by Lucifer itself.
The element about this story that is classic and thought provoking is that in the end, the Angel of Light Lucifer shows its favor towards Depp's character for his willingness to do whatever it takes to survive in this world of false morals that are only followed by the mentally and spiritually weak.
A very good expose in true Satanic thought versus Hollywood Satanists.
Movie Review: waste of time
Summary: 2 Stars
I reeeeaaaally wanted to like this movie. Yes, the opening credits were good. The movie itself, however, was utterly pointless and nonsensical...and yes, boring. Even the actors looked like they weren't taking it seriously. I'm convinced Polanski only made this film as a showcase for his wife ("the girl")...
Blech. Need some brain soap now.
