Customer Rating:
Summary: Historical Opera
Comment: Evita is a powerful production! This is an historical journey of the short and powerful life of Eva Peron. The story is told almost entirely through music. Madonna is at her very best. Not only does she have the rich full voice for the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber but she has the dancing and acting talent to make the persona of Evita come alive. Excellent.
Customer Rating:
Summary: 2.5 stars out of 4
Comment: The Bottom Line:
Though some of Evita's musical numbers have some flash, the movie feels overlong and oversimplified; there is definitely a movie to be made about the controversial Eva Peron, but this isn't it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: my favorite musical
Comment: This is a very good musical with a rich overview of Argentinas history and its struggle towards democracy. Madonna is amazing and her talent is reflected in her ability to not only be a pop artist, but also a classical artist. This is a good musical for people that dont usually like musicals and for Madonna fans to see her in a different light.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A star-making performance.
Comment: Evita starring Madonna is her best performance ever! She truly looks like Eva Peron, her voice has never sounded better and there's no trace of the "material girl" anywhere in sight. Antonio Banderas also stars, who knew this guy could sing his heart out. The songs are gorgeous and the cinematography is breathtaking. The only problem I have with Evita is their is no dialogue, it is just song after song but the songs are good. Give Evita a viewing soon.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Antonio Banderas steals the show.
Comment: Antonio Banderas' performance as Che was simply amazing. His facial expressions, snide observations, and powerful singing voice were consistently good during the entire duration of the film. The best songs that he sang are: The Lady's Got Potential, Good Night and Thank You, and O, What A Circus.
