It is a mix of great acting and a comedic look at drug use. Don't stop here this is bat country.

Hunter Thompson practiced total immersion journalism. He called this form reporting gonzo journalism.
Hunter Thompson drove to Las Vegas to report on a motorcycle race and ended up writing a story about himself writing a story about a motorcycle race. If he would have written a conventional report on motorcycle racing it would have been interesting to motorcycle enthusiasts for a few days. Since he wrote a gonzo story he had a very wide canvas and he used it well to create a classic.
Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro do justice to the outrageous characters created by Hunter S Thompson. The reader might be turned off by the obstreperous behavior, extreme self indulgence and offensive inconsiderate language. If you can look past this offensive conduct and you will see that Hunter S Thompson gave us an insight into the American character of the 1970's.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
I completely enjoyed this film and recommend it to others.

I am sure to get eaten alive by fellow reviewers rating this movie straight 5's.
I just didn't care for it too much, I realized drugs were involved and all that good stuff... but I felt like it had no real storyline besides two druggies on a road trip and having psychedelic hallucinations (dinosaurs, etc) and rage trips.
I deeply respect Toro and Depp on their great acting regardless, and am a great fan for other movies they have been in, this one as another reviewer said... is just not for me. I put it on the same boat as 'A Scanner Darkly' - which people who love this movie will perhaps love that one as well.

I think there is some pretty phenominal acting going on here. Johnny Depp is pretty amazing with what is going on in his mind verse how he is actually been seen.

One of Depp's best movies. He is really showing some insane acting skills in this one. A crazy journey from start to finish! If you were on lsd while watching a movie, this is how it would be :P
