Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - Criterion Collection Customer Reviews (25 - 27 of 80 Reviews)

Great features but a little pricey
As someone who loves Terry Gilliam, and this being possibly my favorite of his movies, I was very excited when I found out they were issuing a criterion collection of "Fear and Loathing..." The extra features and commentary are really great, I personally like the deleted scenes a lot, but if you are the type of person that really doesn't watch the extras you'll be better off buying the regular version of the movie. This movie would receive five stars from me if the price fell to the range of $20-22 as I feel that is a fair price.

A Rare Gem of a Film
Terry Gilliam's vision of Thompson's book takes the viewer on a trip into the demented visual feast of substance abuse. This movie was a rollercoaster ride of humor, humanity, and insanity. I've seen this moving change the way a person thinks, but sadly I've seen it get misunderstood and ignored by people who cannot keep-up with the fast unconventional story-telling. This is one of my most treasured installments to my ever-expanding dvd collection.

Indescribable Lunacy
Basically, a two hour drug trip. Every drug excess is thoroughly explored and enjoyed and portrayed. A bizarre retrospective trip through the 70's and 60's from the heart of gonzo journalism. Peppered with celebrity cameos and starring Johnny Depp & Benicio Del Toro in fantastic and underrated performances. The movie is all about excess and humor in outrageous drug feuled situations. I can't imagine anyone deriving a moral from this. Watch it high.
