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

Dar Star I'm a huge Roman Polanski fan and not necessarily of his most famous works. Frantic and The Ghost Writer are among my all-time favorites. This film does not have the story and intrigue of those films, but it is interesting as a mystery. The ending is pretty dumb and unsatisfying; however, the journey there is satisfying and enjoyable. Worth a watch. I rate it a 7 out of 10.

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.

dobbiesautographs superb occult horror film , with a good solid cast - fantastic direction from Roman Polanski - deep story line - however as a bibliophile , most of my concentration was concerned with the book collections of the people Johnny Depp tracked down , in his quest to find the remaining copies of the ninth gate & I must admit I did shudder at the thought of how they handled the rare books , but as a horror movie it lived up to all expectations , and was quite fast moving from start to finish , I will be settling down with a couple of beers and a friend , to watch it again very soon.
