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
