Bazz Luhrmann should stick to directing the pointy end of a .22 at himself and give up making elaborate bore fests.

Come to think of it,he really should be a Pom, mind numbingly British as he is.

If he has had anything to do with a project I steer well clear.

Even though Hugh Jackman is a bloody good actor (and my missus would love to see him with his shirt off), I won't sit through 2 and a half hours of Kidman stinking up the screen.


Trouble is sad to say that the Aussie media suffers from a global inferiority complex so they always make a
big deal outa someone from here whose made it big overseas...
ie.
'Our' Nicole Kidman
'Our' Hugh Jackman
'Our' Russell Crowe (unless he f**ks up & then is known as 'That Bloody Kiwi')
It's embarrassing eh!

This is why Luhrman spends so much money on his 'blockbusters'. Try as he might though, he just can't get over the fact that Booney and REB think he's tosser. Give it up man....for the greater good! :lol:

I don’t think I’ve seen the media salivate this much over a movie in a long time. Can’t turn on the TV without seeing an ad for the damn thing. (which luckily enough features a great song by Explosions in the Sky..about the only thing going for it!)

Out in Cinemas today. I was at the 10 am session at West Lakes.

Enjoyed it even if it is 2 and a 1/2 hours long.

Well, I went to see it last night - sat back for my first time in the Gold seats at Marion
with Mrs Jimmy_041 - had a martini...

What did I think of it?


Absolute crap

Story has been done a thousand times in different countries

Scenes so obviously done in a set - wait for the first scene around the campfire (most probably in Randwick Sydney or at the SCG)

Nicole Kidman so badly casted as an English woman and cant act (finally starting to look like a woman instead of a girl though)

Background scenes so obviously canned

Unbelievable storyline

Bryan Brown is a shocking actor

David Wenham only slightly better - still in the same acting zone as his role in 300...and, believe it or not, still the same dialogue.

Wait for the best - the Japanese attack scenes have been taken from Tora Tora Tora and Pearl Harbour - I couldn't stop laughing

and the best till last - a Japanese torpedo plane drops a torpedo on Darwin and blows up some buildings!!!!! No - not into the harbour, but onto dry land! @$#%&^ hilarious

Mrs Jimmy enjoyed it though....especially Hugh with his shirt off.......mind you, I didn't have the courage to suggest that it was probably airbrushed like the rest of the picture.

I hope the yanks like it, because it is going to get caned here Baz - send us a real director/screenplay writer/casting agent/ next time

A lot of reports/reviews emanating from the film gove me the impression it's going to be "Pearl Harbour" like, ie, severely overdramatised and straying further from fact (which to be fair most "true stories" flicks do).
