Australia Reviews

Australia is an Epic Adventure....
.........to a place most of us will never see, in a time we can't go back to.   This high-budget drama goes all out to depict the drama that plays out from a vastly remote cattle station in the Aboriginal-inhabited outback, just prior to World War II.   NIcole Kidman is perfectly cast as a well-to-do English lady who flies around the globe only to step into a mess that's far from her comfort zone.  She quickyl pulls on her big girl panties, however, and goes after the bad guys with the competent direction of Jackman's character Grover, a free-wheeling cattle...

This movie is a must see.  It was not really what I expected, but I loved it.  I think Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman have great chemistry together.  I never got bored and wondered when the movie would end, in fact, I hoped it wouldn't end.  It's a great blend of comedy, action and a little romance.  The little boy in the story was a great story teller.  I love the accent that Australians have.  The costumes were great also and oh yeah the scene where Hugh Jackman pours water over himself is good enough to make any lady wanna see this movie.

Australia was a really good movie, but I have to admit, it wasn't really what I expected! When you watch the previews you get the impression that it's a love story from the 30's, when in reality, it's not really that movie about the love aspect. The movie is mostly about cattle herding, but it's still really interesting. The acting is really good, as it stars Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. It has a little bit of humor throughout. Overall, I really thought the movie was good, I just didn't think the previews were very true to the actual story line.

I was pleasently surprised with the movie Australia.   I thought it might be boring but it was not at all.  I rented it but I am planning on purchasing it as it a movie I would watch again.
