ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

slightlymad22 Continuing my plan to watch every Johnny Depp movie in order, I come to Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas (1998)As someone who has never taken any none medically described drugs, this movie was never going to be my cup of tea. I considered it one of Depp's worst the last time I seen it (in the cinema in 1998) and not a lot has changed. Based on Hunter S Thomsons novel of the same name. This is just a mess, the movie pretty much repeats itself over and over as Depp and Del Toro take drugs, stumble into diffrent situations, wreak havoc, and go back to their hotel rooms. I can't fault Depp's performance, he'd already proved himself a talented actor by this point, and here (with a bald head, strange hats, big shades, and a cigarette holder between his clenched teeth) is no different, as he gives his all and totally immerses himself in his character. Much of the clothing worn by Depp in the movie were the real clothes Hunter S. Thompson wore in the '70s. Thompson himself let Depp borrow them for the movie, after Depp spent four months with Thompson learning his mannerisms and proper vocal inflection for the role.Benico Del Toro is fine as is Toby Maguire as a hitchhiker. Cameron Diaz, Gary Busey and Verne Troyer pop up as does a very braless Christina Ricci. Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas grossed $10 million dollars at the domestic box office to not land a place on highest 100 grossing movie of the year list.

prakswal Adapted from Hunter S. Thompson's 1971 novel of the same name, Terry Gilliam's Cult-Classic 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' is Utter madness! Its bleak, high & absolutely nuts! But Gilliam's brutally honest Storytelling along-with Depp & del Toro's mesmerizing performances take this unusual film to dizzy heights.Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is not just a psychedelic comedy, but also an astute piece of literature-cum-political science on a period in American history that was just really strange. This is far from your everyday movie, and only for those with a deep appreciation for the diversity of film-making. The directing is fast paced with offseting angles a lot of wide angle lenses. Gilliam has a style which is unmistakable, it's like walking around inside of a Dali painting, everything is distorted and stretched to create a strong sense of surrealism. Yet his approach is much less offensive than Oliver Stone, who desperately throws every single filming trick at you repeatedly until you are pummeled into submission.

Enchorde Two friends (?) go to Las Vegas, apparently to write an article, but mostly to do drugs. Not being in the most rational states of mind, the two have quite a few bizarre experiences that they vividly share.Not my cup of tea, not at all. Though I must say, they took the idea and really went for it. This is not done half-hearted, they have really gone all out to make a really bizarre movie. And I must appreciate Depps performance, who narrates all their experiences in a very detached way (albeit not being always so rational) giving a comic air to the setting. But the story contains too much misery and suffering to be entertaining.3/10
