Movie Reviews of Ned Kelly

Movie Review: our ned
Summary: 5 Stars

after so many makes of the kelly gang they finally get it right having a young person playing his age.not until the late great heath ledger plays our ned we get a great film.way back in 1969 we in oz had to put up with imports playing our heroes.many complained that jagger played ned kelly but expecting jumpin jack flash any moment he did a great job.pity marianne wasn't well then we could have had the ultimate stones flick.
highly recommended

Movie Review: Kelly music rings true
Summary: 5 Stars

The making of the movie caused something of an uproar in Glenrowan Town - Mick Jagger, a skinny pommie rock singer playing our Ned, a true blue big fella Ozzie bloke. Forget the movie, this soundtrack has been ringing in our ears ever since. No other music has captured the essence of the people, places & history of the stringybark country as this soundtrack has. Shel Silverstein's words & music, Waylon Jenning's gravelly voice & Kris Kristofferson's 'The Kelly's Keep Comin' - its said to this day on the ranges between Benalla and Glenrowan a tall shadowy figure walks thru' the mist of each dawn clanging in his armour, laughing deeply . . . rings true

Movie Review: Where's the script?
Summary: 2 Stars

There were some good things about this movie: the photography was nice. The action scenes weren't too bad. I somewhat liked the music.

If only there had been a real screenplay to hold it all together. I can't tell whether the acting was any good, because they had so little to work with. As for historical content, it's amazing that so much of it was incorrect, given how little of it there was.

I'd recommend this only if you think Mick Jagger looks good with that beard. Otherwise I'd say buy a book on the Kelly gang if you want to learn more, buy the soundtrack if you want the music, or watch the Heath Ledger version.

Movie Review: GREAT SOUNDTRACK!
Summary: 3 Stars

I bought this video for the Waylon Jennings soundtrack. The songs are SUPER! But the movie had too much violence for my taste. So I will look for a Waylon soundtrack CD just to hear the music.

Movie Review: Marked as a child
Summary: 5 Stars

I first saw this movie as a small child. Now, 3 decades later, I have been unable to forget it.

An Australian legend, similar to Brittain's Robin Hood, or America's Jessie James, "Ned Kelly" is a shockingly graphic depiction of freedom and justice.

Waylon Jennings and the soundtrack music is unforgettable. While having an aversion to mick jagger, I believe he contributed much to the feel of this film, and this may be his finest performance.
