OK, I saw Australia back in December, so I'm a little rusty, forgive the late review. But looking back on this movie and just thinking about it really did help me in looking at the film and it's story. Australia was... Full review

Australia is a totally unashamedly romantic adventure film painted on a huge canvas. We totally enjoyed every minute: it is what cinema can be - stirring, fun, involving - and made us forget the world for nearly three hours. If Spielberg... Full review

This film struggled, throughout its epic length, to stay upright. Unfortunately at the end it stumbled and fell like a pile of bricks. It tried to juggle so much, but in the end, turned out to be too little. The film... Full review

It seems just about right that Baz Luhrman waited seven years after "Moulin Rouge!" to bring us "Australia". Not because it is a better movie, but because it's very different and a lot more ambitious. Of course that this has a... Full review

I have no idea what to make of Australia. It can't possibly be a serious movie, right? It certainly starts as a camp comedy, then lurches into a clichéd action romance adventure, before descending into an attempt at World War Two... Full review

Baz Luhrmann has done a great job with 'Australia'. While cliché's and political agenda runs rife, this is set nicely into an historic, epic story in three distinct acts. Great casting - Hugh Jackman was what the role needed, and he... Full review
