Please rate movie 1 to 5 stars
Admitedly, the engagement scene was not in the original production, it is a device used to help bring the story into the 21st century....remember, the play premiered in the early 90`s and was depicting the end of the 1980`s. I think someone walking out of the engagement scene says more about the prejudices and insecurities of the person walking out than it does about the movie itself. But then, that whole topic is laid out in "La Vie Bohemme".
this film is full of contradicitons and really has no legs to stand on dramatically... still everyone finds it excellent... that goes to show you what a couple of catchy hooks, and some flashy colours can do for audiences... needless to say, i walked out at Maureen`s and Joanne`s engagement.. WAGLEY
Excellent!!
Very good acting and the song weren`t bad, but what an awful story.
It was a really done movie, but at the end of it I felt pretty lost as to what the main storyline was. I went home and downloaded the songs, and a lot of the songs I don`t even remember being in the movie! But. I plan on going to see it again.. it`s definately entertaining and worth seeing.
very very very boring .should have 1 star rating
Best movie i`ve seen in a while! Did a great job. Wanta plan a trip to New York to see on broadway, again!!
most amazing thing i have ever seen
Sensational.
ENJOYABLE!!! It`s all about youth and comtemporary issues within taboo subject-matters. I m glad a film like this has managed to see the light of day, while it has much to say about young people, and of their struggles. Chris Columbus is a great choice to bring it all out!!!!!
so good i`ve already seen it twice. it`s a must-see.
A little slow at the start, but picks up very nicely about half-way through. Very solid.
I saw this movie yesterday. packed content with beautiful songs. it was really good movie, moving and touching. definitely worth 13 bucks.
People going to this movie expecting an old fashioned book musical (ie Chicago) will be disappointed/confused. The songs and music don`t comment on the action and story, they ARE the action and story, which is a whole lot more to have to take in. Because of this, I am not suprised to see many younger critics embracing the film, while several older critics seem to have written it off. I cannot comment on the adaptation process, as I have never seen RENT onstage; all I know is I was very entertained by this film. 5 stars.
It really does define our generation. Cheers to them for putting the harsh reality out there, but doing such a great job of it. Best movie of the year.
Definitely the best movie of the year!
Having just seen the Broadway production of RENT, I was somewhat skeptical about taking in the movie version. I can say that without a doubt, Chris Columbus directed a BRILLIANT movie! Don`t be surprised if members of the audience break out in song or clap at the end....ours did!
Amazingly powerful! Both my musical-hating husband and I loved it!!!! At the end we were both left wanting MUCH more!
AWFUL!! OMG, i tried to keep an open-mind but it was the most mind-numbing, ear-shattering, most boring, most pointless movie EVER!! A musical should just stay a musical...not be made into a movie. I want my $10.00 back!!
Wow, absolutely enthralling. My Mind was captivated right from the jolly get-go. Thrilling, really, absolutely dashing performance.
Absolutely amazing! It is definitely the must-see movie of the year! It`s fantastic - all the songs are amazing, Rosario does a great job as Mimi! And the original cast still sounds amazing, even after all these years! A great film - get your butts to the theatre!
Rent was fantabulous! ive never had soo much fun at a movie! it was soo good and im glad to see so many people thought the same as MEE! i cant wait to see it again. me and my friend were screaming to the lyrics like theres nothing to it! GO SEE RENT ITS AMAZING
Oh my. I laughed, I cried, it was better than Cats. No seriously. cats was nothing. Andrew Lloyd Webber has nothin` on RENT!
This was a very good movie. I never saw the play and i was even able to like the film.A must see definatly.
I`ve owned and loved the OBC album since `98 ... saw the musical on Broadway in 2001 (without the OBC sadly). I love the fact the C.C. got most of the OBC back for this movie. Amazing film adaptation! The critics are slamming it and as a RENThead, I am disappointed ... but that didn`t stop me from taking a bunch of my mates to see it and they now love it also.
RENT IS THE MOST EXHILARATING FILM IN YEARS!!! A BEAUTIFUL FILM!!! THE VOICES & HARMONY WITH GET RIGHT THROUGH TO YOUR BONES & IT WILL MAKE YOU CRY!!! RENT IS BREATHTAKING!!!
It is a great movie to show that we all should get along with one another no matter what skin color or financial backgrounds we have.
This movie shows how multiculturalism plays a big role in our world today. Being of a different color means that prejudice should be abolished and all of us should get along with one another without looking at each others skin color or financial background.
I THINK RENT IS THE MOST AWESOMISH MOVIE OF THE YEAR!!! I LOVE IT LIKE I LOVE MY BOYFRIEND!! (and thats alot alot alot...LOL) EVERYONE SHOULD GO OUT AND SEE THIS FINONINAL MOVIE!! ITS THE BEST YOUR GOING TO SEE IN A VERY LONG TIME.. :):) but thats only what i think about the movie...
AMAZING!! If you have seen the show, they did it justice, if you haven`t I`m sure you will love it just the same. Fantastic job! Using most of the Broadway cast was perfect!
Fantastic!!!! I saw the play in New York and think the movie is actually better! The only problem I had with this movie AND IT IS A MAJOR ONE is that the TOOK OUT "Goodbye Love". Possibly the most moving song in the ENTIRE play. Shame on the directors for tampering with perfection!!!
soooo good!! Very glad to see the originals in the part too, can completely tell they`ve been living in/with their parts for years. Also found Rosario`s performance surprisingly poignant. Music was stellar, sets were fantastic and think columbus did a great job of engaging the audience. Warning - for fans of the stage show some BIG differences..still good just leaves u scratching your head a bit..
Awesome!!! Nothing else needs to be said.
just one word........wow
Amazing. It was the broadway version, but with even more explaination of the background storyline. Everyone should see it!
Brilliant! I was worried it wouldn`t live up to the stage version but it definately did. The cast was amazing! Even though a couple songs were cut and just spoken instead it made it better for the big screen that way. Loved every minute of it and want to see it again. Rosario Dawson surprised me in this type of role. Didn`t know she could sing so well. Anyway, one of the best movie experiences I`ve had in ages.
Rent was an amazing movie! I have never been so impressed with a musical-turned-movie. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this movie and I took home some interesting thoughts on life. This movie is a total must-see. I would give it 10 stars if I had the option!
This was an amazing adaptation of the musical. Some things are taken out and some small things are changed from the broadway performance but none the less was brilliant. Fans of the musical will not dissappointed!!! I absolutly loved it!!!!
Amazing, Oh My GOD, just ridiculous and let me tell you how I made that this movie was the most fun I have evr had in a theatre. People screaming at me and my friend telling us to stop singing. Who can resist when the movie and music are just too good. AMAZING!
RENT WAS LIKE AMAZING YOU DONT GET IT! BETTER THAN CHICAGO!!!
RENT IS EXHILARATING!!! THE BEST MUSICAL I`VE SEEN IN YEARS!!! AN INCREDIBLE TREAT FOR THE EARS!!! A MUST-SEE!!!
