Customer Reviews of The Murders in the Rue Morgue
DUH Yes it's a monkey!!! Either you were too illiterate or didn't pay attention in school. It's like being disappointed that Romeo and Juliet die at the end of that movie. HELLO!!!!!!!
a **cking monkey
I wasted some good time watching this movie until the damn awful end. a monkey for christs sakes. man and this is a Edgar Allen Poe story, well I guess why the director felt to do this remake then. Val Kilmer is wasted and so is Scott. ahhhhh. cant believe it was a monkey, I was gonna go for insane patient or something, or some supernatural being of somekind, but a damn monkey. the end was not suspenseful at all when the monkey attacked Kilmer. bahhhhh
George C. Scott is fantastic...but everything else suffers
George C. Scott does a superb job portraying a recently retired detective who is dissilusioned with his life and sulks in his study playing chess with himself. But a series of grissly murders in town and the subsequent arrest of his daughter's fiance lead him into his own private investigation.
The movie is based on the famous story by Edgar Allen Poe. Like all of Scott's later films, his acting is great, but everything else can't seem to live up to it. Scott has such a great appreciation for the power of words and subtle facial expressions and gestures (he probably aquired this from his theatre training). However, most of the other actors seem plastic and unconvincing. His daughter does a particularly horrible job. She plays her role lik a 1980's teenager living in the 19th century. Val Kilmer (very young looking) does a decent job with his role but nothing spectacular. I think it had to do more with the script than his acting abilities. The ending of the film is very bad. I won't give away any secrets, but the word is "corny". I think a better script and editing would have helped immensly.
