"About as enjoyable as a bad trip."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
5/5
"Fellini's movies work on this level, reveling in their carnival atmosphere while at the same time critiquing them."

Jeremiah Kipp
"More headache than head trip."

5/5
"Years from now, it will be reappraised as a misunderstood masterpiece. Well, this is one American critic who's not waiting until years from now."

Rob Gonsalves
"Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is impeded by both familiarity with its source and esteem for its director. However, the Criterion DVD has a tremendous asset in the collaboration of Hunter Thompson, who appears repeatedly in the disc's supplements."
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Rumsey Taylor
61/100
"If Gilliam was intending to create a film that would disgust, disorient and eventually irritate, then this one’s a bona-fide masterpiece – but don’t expect me to sit through it ever again."
Apollo Guide
Scott Weinberg
"It is Gilliam fastening his lance to a Chevrolet convertible and charging at the windmills with his foot to the floor"

Shane Burridge
"This is the best acid-inspired movie since Roger Corman's
The Trip
- and it is a darn sight more accurate in its depiction [of] the highs and the lows, the terrible confusion alternating with lucidity, the excitement that gives way to paranoia."

"I was terrified by the constant peril Dr. Gonzo and Thompson put themselves in, and yet drawn to it, like an accident scene."
