 damaged when opened June 5, 2009

The movie looked like it was fine, but when I played it made this horrendous noise and started vibrating. I am going to exchange it , but I will be getting another copy of it. I love this movie!
 Superb effort for Depp and Polanski June 4, 2009
William R. Ray (Arden, NC USA)
As other reviewers have stated, this is not your modern computer-generated-image horror story with out of this world screen monsters. Instead, we get a great adult horror/suspense film which should keep you glued to the screen. Subtle imagery and plot twists make this film extremely easy to recommend.
I love this movie and have played it over several times. The vision from Polanski is almost as good as "Chinatown." Well, almost anyway. So sit back, get out the popcorn and don't miss a scene. You'll be well rewarded. Highly recommended.
Gaining the Angel of Light's Favor May 19, 2009
Aufreizen (Long Island, New York)
Johnny Depp once again gives an excellent performance as a book appraiser who is hired by a very rich and powerful man to authenticate his copy of a book supposedly written by Lucifer itself.
The element about this story that is classic and thought provoking is that in the end, the Angel of Light Lucifer shows its favor towards Depp's character for his willingness to do whatever it takes to survive in this world of false morals that are only followed by the mentally and spiritually weak.
A very good expose in true Satanic thought versus Hollywood Satanists.

I reeeeaaaally wanted to like this movie. Yes, the opening credits were good. The movie itself, however, was utterly pointless and nonsensical...and yes, boring. Even the actors looked like they weren't taking it seriously. I'm convinced Polanski only made this film as a showcase for his wife ("the girl")...
Blech. Need some brain soap now.
The Ninth Gate-Genuine Roman Polanski+Depp = Great! April 21, 2009
Keith Mirenberg (www.spaceanimations.org)
The Ninth Gate was a wonderful four to five star film by Roman Polanski starring Johnny Depp and Frank Langella. It was a well paced film which metered out horror at a deliberately measured pace. Direction and casting were all superb. Johnny Depp's performance was outstanding as a totally amoral book dealer on a mission to find none other than Lucifer himself.
Many scenes contained fantastic imagry and appear to have been filmed on location. The final scenes were surprising and left me feeling a bit unfinished. Then again, this ending (as in Rosemarie's Baby) left the viewer very interested in what happens next and several directors believe that a good way to go. In any case, I really enjoyed this film and recommend it to all fans of Roman Polanski and Johnny Depp.
