Reviews for Siegfried and Roy - The Magic Box
A masterpiece of insanity. ... the greatest unintentional comedy since Glen or Glenda.
It truly feels as though you're plunked down in the best seats the Mirage has to offer.
As Vegas as the real thing, a razzle-dazzle entertainment about entertainers.
Has to be one of the most visually startling films ever to reach screens.
I've never seen their show live, but based on the Imax footage, I'm not impressed.
A lot of fun to watch, as long as you don’t pay much attention to the actual content of the film.
Movies are not a hospitable medium for magic, at least not the kind of magic practiced in Las Vegas by Siegfried and Roy.
A match made in movie heaven, because 3-D is the perfect format to tell the story of this stellar, over-the-top duo.
Viewers will have to fight the urge to flick stardust off their shoulders -- it's that real.
A brilliant piece, especially with a ticket price somewhere around one-twentyth of the Las Vegas show.
