The Ninth Gate Audience Reviews

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

jaswarmm One of the greatest movie i have ever seen.In fact after shawshank redemption,i admire this the most.I was very curious about what happens next and so on throughout this.Johnny depp had a very mature character which suits to the plot of the movie

baradanikto I am shocked, that this film has such a low rating. This film ticks all the boxes and more. Hitchcockian suspense that keeps you wondering what is going to happen next.Great atmosphere, clever, subtle cinematography and pace.Great acting that fits this type of film.I've been glued to this film all of the four times I've watched it this week.If I had the money I would buy the books (watch the film - no spoilers here !)Highly recommended.A well deserved 10/10 from me, and a film that you can re-watch and enjoy.

nokios-13499 Try to forget about the name Polanski, and watch the film.The plot is not different from any light stupid entertaining story of a B category film.Just because of the name of the director, people thought it has a great artistic, esoteric or philosophical value...It has not.It is good to watch especially for those who are interested in religion, history, old books and culture in general..By the way, Lucifer is described in the Bible as a very beautiful angel and Polanski knows this for sure. This is why I was shocked by the different comments wondering about the "girl" (Seigner)..No doubt at all, she is Lucifer.TSorry to say it, this only shows the low level of culture and knowledge of some commentators that praised the film and found esoteric and philosophical ideas and more bla bla bla that necessitated watching it many times !!..If you paid for the DVD, I can understand, but otherwise, it is a loss of time. Watch another movie with something new! Conclusion: Good entertainment...No real value.

Mihai Toma A rare book dealer is hired by one of his best customers to investigate the authenticity of the other two copies of Nine Gates. Lured by the massive amount of money he's going to receive, he sets off right away only to soon find out that he will be putting his own life into peril.It's a very mysterious plot which keeps you wondering right from the beginning as the search is proving to have much more implications that one could have ever imagined. It is very complex and thus hard to anticipate what will happen next, managing to attract your attention most of the time. The main actor plays a very exciting role and plays it well while most of the other actors keep up with his performance. I witnessed some superficial scenes and some character's decisions which are quite hard to explain but nothing that can affect the overall experience. This story of the nine gates of hell deserves its nine stars rating, the only thing which kept me from giving it maximum score was its finale which wasn't as conclusive as I hoped. A very good movie from its genre.
