I have seen it over 10 times here& it just never gets boring- Fosse did one of his best works here and you don't get the choreography with this movie- not enough room to say what needs to be said of this now classic musical

This is an exceptionally good movie. It is visually stunning, with color and set designs being twisted and turned with strong primary colors of music and dreams being combined with the somber tones of reality. The contrast when the Hungarian woman was hanged was brilliant and striking. The music is consistently fun and unique, though I don't watch enough musicals to have much insight into it. The movie's cuts between the central narrative and the musical stage were well-done too.The acting is phenomenal, particularly from leading light Renée Zellweger, but also from everyone else.The plot rips along, and while the characters are caricatures, they are fun caricatures. Great. 10/10.(I watched this for the first time on August 28, 2017.)

Stellar performances from Renee Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones apparently isn't enough to give this film a better score. It's hovered around 7 out of 10 for years. It really boggles my mind. It was well written, beautifully directed, and is filled with intriguing characters, save one.I literally gave it an 8 because of Richard Gere's performance. If not for him, it would have received a 9 from me. I recall when Chicago came out, a big deal was made of how Richard Geer took the role on short notice, and how, under the stress of that and the learning curve, he did an acceptable job. I remember watching it and thinking "no, he didn't." He nearly ruined it for me, stinking up the screen with his horrible singing and dancing. Some movies are remembered for incredible performances, but after Catherine Zeta-Jones's performance the thing that stays in my mind the most is Gere. Not in a good way.So now, I watch La La Land and various people have panned Ryan Gosling for his singing and dancing. If only they would compare it to Richard Gere's performance they would realize Gosling wasn't so bad. I very much like Chicago, and I skip the Gere parts. He's a likable enough guy, but I can't bring myself to listen to him sing that terrible song ever again. Chicago has its flaws, but a 7.1? And La La Land has a 9? Something is definitely wrong here. Don't get me wrong, I really like La La Land very much, but even though it's not worse, it certainly isn't better than Chicago, in my opinion.

This 6 time academy award winning musical including best picture truly is a spectacle. The dazzling costumes, the bright lights, the spectacular musical numbers! No one will ever be able to say that this movie adaptation of the hit Broadway play doesn't deliver on all of those things. Catherine Zeta Jones, Renee Zellweger, Richard Gere, Queen Latifah, and John C. Reilly all give it their all with their performances here, especially Renee, she really blew me away here. The singing and musical numbers are fabulous and dazzling in every way, and the choreography is magnificent, it'll make you question how in the hell the actors learned to do all that. The plot is interesting enough to keep the audiences attention, especially fans of the Broadway play. Everything here is done so well, like a perfectly choreographed dance routine. Everyone really gives it their all, both on and off the screen, that is painfully obvious from watching. Films like this is why I adore cinema, when they get it so right like they do here, it just reminds you why the arts are such a treasure. I encourage everyone to watch this dazzling musical, it is hands down my favorite musical of all time!
