This is at least watchable through its entire overlength, but not even Terry Gilliam's show-offy style can make it dramatically engaging. Hunter Thompson and his attorney, Gonzo, go to Vegas, do enough drugs to kill all of Mexico City, and…

Johnny Depp plays Dr. Hunter S. Thompson to perfection here. Critics complained of his hurried speech and odd mannerisms but that's how Hunter spoke and acted. Depp lived in Hunter's basement for a month. He HAD to get the mannerisms…

A couple of drug-addled bums on one wild bender after another; the vulgarity and slovenliness is out of this world. The visuals of the film are extraordinary. The narrated parts were interesting and even funny to listen to; this film…

To be fair, it couldn’t have been easy shooting a POV film about two men who chow down on mescaline and cocaine for breakfast and director Terry Gilliam, never known for his subtlety anyway, gives it his best shot with tight sweaty…

An easily avoidable visual stain based on Hunter S. Thompson's novel about a psychotropic road trip across Nevada, in which Thompson's alter ego, Raoul Duke (Johnny Depp) and his drug-addled attorney, Dr. Gonzo (Benicio Del Toro), travel…

I thought this movie was great when I saw it originally. It is hilarious for about 10 minutes and then you get bored and press eject. Almost as bad as the FVRL website has become, confusing and hard to understand...

It's a Terry Gilliam film based on Hunter S Thompson's, book! Of course it's not for everyone, it's ugly, gross, bizzare, scary, and hillarius all at the same time! I LOVED It!! The books great too!

This movie was so boring I couldn't even get halfway through it. The book is way better, read it instead of watching this movie.

What a treat! This is surely a team Gregg movie and is great popcorn classic. Any decent human being can enjoy this comedy, it's a hoot.

I turned this movie off within the first 10 minutes because of such horrid acting! I find that Depp's acting skills are hit and miss. Not my type of humour.

I thought this movie was awful. I got it because of a long-term recommendation from a friend. This movie will forever rank in my memory as only the second movie in my life that I didn't finish watching. It was pointless, stupid, and had…

Funnier than I expected. Weird and, sure, for some, wonderful. I however couldn't relate, but Gilliam has a fanbase that would eat this kind of tale up. Depp does a decent character performance and there's cameos galore to behold. Plot…

...there are two camps those that can't relate to Terry Gilliam & those that get wrapped up in the crazy worlds he creates. I am from the latter group. This film is straight up Terry Gilliam & he takes you for a ride with this film...only…

By 60's and 70's standards - this movie has a certain appeal. The drugged-out paranoid nut-cases portrayed by Benicio Del Toro and Johnny Depp, would have been very much in vogue. And it's no secret that Depp's character Raoul Duke, the…

I read this book as a teen and enjoyed where the buffalo roam with bill murray as Hunter S. Thompson. However, Johnny Depp rocks in the role. The movie is a very good almost literal representation of the book. Hilarious and well acted. I…

Fun fact: Prior to filming, Johnny Depp swapped his car for Hunter S. Thompson's red Chevrolet convertible and spent weekends driving it around California in preparation for the role. Meanwhile, Thompson spent that period in Depp's car…

The whole movie is about drug addiction. I couldn't find much about Las Vegas nor Fear nor Loathing. But it's a good DVD, if you're interested in the 1970s' documentaries about Drug & Gambling. Johnny Depp's most ugliest role ever.

Such a weird movie. Be prepared for something out of the ordinary.

Just as weird as the book. Good performances by Depp and Del Toro
