Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
cameronackland Not only did this film make me want to tear out my own eyes, but it almost compelled me to sign up to the Guantanamo Bay terrorist wanted list and get myself water boarded just to avoid watching any more of this!
dlambre173 I never take the time to do this but after reading the reviews of this film I felt I had to defend it. Beware the cynics! Stay away you art house film lovers! This is a sweet romantic "throw back" film to earlier days when movies actually made you feel good inside. Nicole has gotten flack for being too stiff, well, guess what? she is playing a stiff british aristocrat! Hugh is amazing as always and the actor that plays Nulla is a delight! I looked him up to see where he is now but can't find anything. If he was smart, he retired from working in crazy-land and is living on a farm in Australia somewhere.And I love all of the Wizard of Oz references! So BACK OFF! Watch with enjoyment!
Johan Rasmussen I'll make a list of things, that I think was making this film unwatchableTerrible acting from terrible actors. I don't know who was in charge of the casting for this film, but who ever it was needs to be firedThe movie is at times very hard to understand, and the plot is pretty stupid and obviousThe little half aboriginal kid, is the most cringe worthy little kid i have ever seen in any movie. His accent is terrible, and his English is even worse. His vocabulary is just about big enough, for small children to like him. Making him " a magic man" by giving him "speciel abilities" was over the top for me. This film could have been a realistic, funny and probably also good movie, if this kid wasn't in it.There were so many brain dead unnecessary dialouges that could easily been removed.The movie turned from a "action film?" to a romantic movie to the end, a war movie of some sort i believe. 1/100 stars from me. Don't bother buying this stupid piece of crap movie. Save your money, and buy yourself a rope and hang yourself with it, because you probably get more enjoyment from hanging yourself, than watching a mere minute of this garbage excuse for a movie.
vailsy With the title 'Australia', you might expect to see a movie where this wonderful country and landscapes take centre stage. Perhaps a serious and historic movie. Unfortunately from the get-go 'Australia' tries to be awkwardly comedic, like it wants to be Indiana Jones or Blazing SaddlesThe title 'Australian Vacation' would've been more appropriate, with a cameo from Chevy Chase Both Kidman and Jackman are truly awful in this comedic setting. Being Australian themselves you would hope they would know better than to read the script and then still decide to audition for and star in this misadventure The Aboriginal actors are about as unlike regular Aboriginals as you could imagine. The kid narrates the story likes some kind of fairy tale Given that it's basically a comedy, it is ridiculously long at nearly 3 hours Overall this film is a total misfire
