This movie almost follows the book word for word and that is rare. Hunter makes a cameo in this movie and the red car is hunter's. Depp lived with thompson before shooting this film to get a feel for the real hunter s. He was hunter in this film. If you have not seen this movie go out and buy it you will not be dissapointed. | |

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (the Criterion Collection version, which this happens to be) comes with a great booklet with sketches and excerpts from the real Hunter S. Thompson. It is a two disc set and the first disc is just the movie but the second is full of special features including some shots of Depp hanging out and getting messed up with Thompson lol. Great movie set at a great price. | |

Thompson brought to life by director Terry Gilliam. Johnny Depp plays a fantastic role as well as Benicio Del Torro. There are many small roles by some actors/actresses that we know very well today (Cameron Diaz, Toby McGuire, Christina Ricci). This movie is about the end of an era as seen through the eyes (for real and some hallucination) of a journalist and his attourny on a long drug binge in Las Vegas. I highly recomend buying or at least renting this film. | |

I'm just glad Johnny Depp, Benicio Del Toro, and Terry Gilliam were able to pull this project together and maintain the respect due Hunter S. Thompson. The look of the film is fantastic -- surreal, chaotic, moody, atmospheric, and populated with characters filtered through the minds' eyes of the Doctor and his Attorney. There are also a wealth of special features on the Criterion edition which cannot be found on any other edition of the film to date. | |

I love the alligator suit that Doc Gonzo wakes up in at one point. Oh- but watching this movie FOR SURE makes me want to stay away from the ether! | |

Not recommended for children. But definitly recommended for someone who can get a laugh out of two guys on a drug spree!! I have watched it many time and plan on watching it many more! | |

Remember, "All life flows according to the whims of the great magnet!" This is a must see for those who want to be enlightened or those who have a tendency to push things to extremes! | |

| 1 out of 1 people found the following review helpful. I am a huge fan of johnny depp and have seen all of his movies. This one stands out because he plays such an odd character and noone could ever attempt to play the character quite like he does it. If you like drug and stoner movies HERE IT IS!!! he plays a wacked out drug addict Magazine reporter who takes his drug addicted lawyer to vegas for a few days to cover a motorcycle race (dont worry there is only like 15 minutes of racing in the whole movie and it is really funny) they went to vegas for the race but they were too high and drunk to do the job so the whole movie is one crazy drug induced adventure. They special effects are so good it will make you think you are on something just watching it.... If you like to party, like johnny depp, like comedies with drug induced scenes, or are have a thing for weird movies THIS IS THE ONE FOR YOU- 420 | |
