Fear and Loathing
Terry Gilliam does the original book justice, within the limits of any film. Thompson's narrative is ably delivered by Depp and the film captures the warped decadence of early 70's Vegas in a way you won't see anywhere else. This film isn't for everyone, but if you get it, you'll love it.

Finally got to see a Classic
After finishing the book, I had to see the movie. I began to grow very frustrated when I realised that you couldn't get a copy of the movie on DVD in Ireland. So onto Amazon I go and low and behold not only do I get myself the Movie in all it's glory, but I also receive a real collecters item in the 'Criterion Collection'. All the extras are amazing, including a really interesting documentary with the real 'Dr. Duke'. Overall classic movie and a DVD must have! Cheers, Alan Healy, Dublin, Ireland

Prepare to be weirded out
Being an extreme Depp fan, I just had to see this movie, not knowing what to expect. This film is probably the strangest film that I have ever seen, but it is very good. Johnny Depp's acting is unbelievable as Hunter S. Thompson. If anyone can act stoned, high, or just completely delirious, it's Mr. Depp. Basically, Fear and Loathing is a journey through Hunter Thompson's drug-infested world, set in 1960s Vegas. This movie is like putting on a pair of drunk-vision goggles and never ever taking them off. Also, the 2nd disc has tons of interesting stuff about Hunter S. Thompson and the movie in general.

Two words to describe this movie: psychadelic dementia
