Ned Kelly

Rating:
Summary: Ned&Joe are very very cool!!
Review: I'd seen this movie on DVD bought from Australia, 'cause I'm a fan of Orlando&Heath!
This is fiction but based on the real character"Ned Kelly&The Kelly Gang".
I know it's hard to make real character into a movie, but this film is very brilliant!
Music and image are beautiful, story is so movig, and more importantly title role Heath's Ned Kelly and Orlando's Joe are amazing!!
Though description of characters seems to need some more details, I'm sure that this film is well worth watching!!

Rating:

Summary: excellent
Review: This is a very good film that tells the story of the legendary outlaw Ned Kelly. Most of the negative comments on here are by folks who pick on aspects of the film that are in reality fine and accurate. Those who know the story of Ned Kelly and expect a realistic film and not a CGI action flick will appreciate it the most.

Summary: A Western from the Outback
Review: Tones of brown pervade this somewhat dark film based on an Australian 'hero' Ned Kelly, a lad who was true to his immigrant Irish family roots to the point of becoming an outlaw in their defense. Director Gregor Jordan (BUFFALO SOLDIERS) has gathered a cast of Aussies and has managed to find the kind heart of the legend of Kelly and his band. Heath Ledger sustains a fine performance as Ned, and his gang of friends and family include Orlando Bloom, Lawrence Kinlan and Phil Baratini - all capable actors who make their characters credible and yes, lovable. Naomi Watts and Rachel Griffiths lend scenic decor and not much else and Geoffrey Rush replays his 'Jauvert'-type character with his usual authority. The camera work and set design is atmospheric and aptly/oddly claustrophobic in the vastness of Australia. The music score is particularly fine, mixing fine Irish melodies with original orchestral writing. While not a great film, there is enough of the still desperate need to find heroes in our midst to make this a movie most folk will savor. Bears watching.
