Not catchy? I loved the songs. Most of them. Though I do agree a few scenes were somewhat unnesscary like Sophia Lorens’, Nicole Kidman’s and Penelope Cruz’s seemed sort of pointless in the film version.

Saying all this, I don’t really understand what was so TERRIBLE about this film. I loved it! But then again, I’m kind of immediately bias to a film with extraordinary cinematography which is the one thing it had, i think, that there is no dispute about. Just every frame.

Nine was one of the best movies my friend ever saw. It is an american Opera,a musical comedy, a drama and a tragic story.
Can you imagine Judy Dench at her age being shown as a sexual woman? How wonderful! Penelope Cruz was doing everything she could to be loved and wanted. She was a tragic figure. Daniel Day Lewis was a tortured man and was his wife. Sofia Loren did a tribute to Fellini by appearing in the movie!
The music was extrodinary! As was the dancing and acting! What did people not see about this movie. The emotional gamut of laughter to tears! I hope it is an Oscar nominee even if it is or hasn’t been a popular “find”.

Movies about self-absorbed tortured geniuses are so 60′s. Penelope Cruz, Judi Dench, Sophia Loren were wonderful in their all-too-short roles. We were able to watch the movie for free thanks to a an academy-voting-neighbor who received the DVD for that purpose. That and the facts that we could keep pausing it to get snacks, answer mobile phone calls and go to the john were the only redeeming features.

And the significance of the number nine in the movie, is the film he results making supposed to be his ninth film? I thought it had been said that he had seven successes and then two flops. Was it six successes?

I loved it. It was aesthetically pleasing and stylish. It was pleasing to view. The songs were catchy, and I do not see them attempting to be anything but. I do not see why people do not like it. How could have it been better?

We walked out! It was sooo boring and the songs were way too long. How many shots can you stand of Daniel Day-Lewis lighting a smoke?

I was anxious to see a musical! I thought that with the actors in it, it would be good. I wish they would have paid me to go see it. I may have felt a little redeeming sense of sitting there for that long, long, time of no, plot, no good music lyrics! I felt like I was a victim of the movie business saying; Lets make a quick movie to make some quick money off of innocent people wanting to see a musical. A What? I think a 5th grader could have done better with the script.

Still don’t know what the significance of the title is. Saw it. Didn’t like it. Kate Hudson is still gorgeous though.

Nine is a Three. Daniel Day Lewis is a dream but in a terrible movie.
The musical numbers are loud and vulgar.
Ick.

“Nine”the movie is 9x better than the original 8 1/2 by Fellini. The performances of the cast in the musical numbers were extraordinary. Thank you Maestro Rob Marshall for coaxing such performances from your actors. The music is not memorable; however, the images from this movie still linger in my mind. I think Fellini would have enjoyed this rendition of his cinematic visions.

The worst movie of a musical ever. Rob Marshall should be ashamed of this miscalculated piece of trash, and such a pity the talents of so many great actors were abused in this way..
don’t waste your money or time
