Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The best part about this movie is the soundtrack. When I was younger I loved it (despite for the most part not understanding a lot of the implications). This movie could've just ignored everything else about what makes a movie a movie, but there is actually an engaging plot that makes the songs relevant. I like how during certain sequenses the actual sets will be replaced by stages. It gives the movie even more of a unique style. This movie isn't perfect, but is is extremely entertaining and I would highly recommend it.

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.)

I so enjoyed seeing Chicago 14-15 (?) years back and I watched it again this morning. What I took away from the silver screen long ago and what repeated itself on the flat-screen this morning was how achingly beautiful Renée Zellweger was in the film.Catherine Zeta-Jones was certainly lovely but Zellweger - oh, my - had those long and lovely legs and those slender yet toned arms. For me, this was the finest performance of her career. Genuine proof of her abilities to act, sing and dance - a rare combination these days.Ah! I'll keep these images in my mind for a while, now. Just recalling her many talents on display in Chicago.

Please ignore all the wonderful reviews and listen/read to some excellent criticism for a moment. This movie was just bad all around those two hours. Not even John C Reilly could save this movie from the disaster that it was. Nothing against musicals at all, musicals are meant for romance, adventure and possibly comedy. Not some phony baloney acting that involved a girl murdering a man and trying to get out of prison. Did NOT deserve best picture whatsoever. As I said earlier the acting was like a B Horror movie. Really hoping IMDb approves this review so that people can be aware that this movie is not what it was hyped up to be. For that I'm giving this a solid 1 out of 10.
