Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Customer Reviews (16 - 18 of 35 Reviews)

The most asinine movie I've ever attempted to watch.
I'm on a bad roll here. Last week I rented Dumb and Dumberer which would have kept the above title had I not gotten hold of this "gem". It was so bad I didn't waste the final 25 minutes it would have taken to finish the disk. Really bad acitng by the two main stars and the voices were not even in sync. Johhny Depp doing Jeff "Jurasic Park" Goldblum totally stoned for two hours has to be the most aggrevating film experience I can recall. Pointless would recap it in one word. Enough time wasted on this project. There isn't any way to rate here without at least one star- I'd certainly not even give it one.

****1/2-VERY entertaining!
Though a bomb with the critics and at the box office, I personally loved Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. This film is completely bizarre, buy what do you expect from director Terry Gilliam (Monty Python, Brazil, Twelve Monkeys)? After a very boring opening scene that had really dumb humor ("Yeah, man" was dull when Cheech and Chong did it decades ago). Terry Gilliam gives his vicious and brutal (violent) humor in this film. Roger Ebert said "Some of there trips were real, so hallucinated, all interchangeable." I respect you, Roger, but this film, when they hallucinated, was hilarious. This is a very colorful film, so I wish I rented it on dvd (it has a very well-liked Criterion Collection set). Nonetheless, the grain and independant feel only added to it's quality. For the other reviewers who think Cameron Diaz should have been in longer, "Hello!" It was just a bit part, and if you want to see lots of her, see There's Something About Mary or Charlie's Angels. Benicio Del Toro is a marvelous actor who has spent his acting career making good independants (Usual Suspects, this, Traffic). I really liked when Depp was waiting for his rental car and the guy says, "Take this" about fifteen times with different gestures (it's some kind of paper). All Depp does is adjusthis mirror, and fiddle with his cigarette. Finally, Depp looks over, the man throws it at him, and Depp says, "I'm supposed to keep this, right?" Then the man says "Now, your going to be careful with this car, right?" Depp goes, "Oh, yeah, man," and immediatelly goes very fast in reverse. I wish I could tell you about all the other scenes, but you'll have to see for yourself. Thank you for taking the time to read my review and feel free to leave me a helpful/not helpful feedback. God Bless America!
