Movie Reviews of Ned Kelly
Movie Review: Such Is Life...
Summary: 5 Stars
I rented this movie five or six times from Blockbuster before I finally made the wise decision to buy it on DVD and save myself some money, which was probably good considering I have watched it many more times since I bought it. I have never seen a movie quite like this. The scenery is breathtaking - as are Ned Kelly's quiet, narrating comments throughout the movie. He always says something poignant right where it fits. Watching this movie is like finding your footing for the first time under a strong waterfall. It feels like you understand so much more after you have watched it. This movie isn't just an outlaw tale. It is truly tragic, emotional and moving. It honors the true Ned Kelly in a way that no other movie or book has. Heath Ledger was phenomenal, as always, and they couldn't have chosen a better actor to play the part. This is the movie I will remember him for - probably the best performance of his career. I cannot quite describe it, but this movie captures the spirit of Australia as well: the natural freedom, openness, and equilibrium of justice. I feel like there is more to this movie than I will ever know, no matter how many times I watch it. In closing, I would like to say that I would not recommend this movie to everyone; only those who will appreciate the subtle beauty of a much simpler world and marvel at the amazing talents of an actor now forever gone.Movie Review: In keeping with the history
Summary: 5 Stars
I first heard of Ned Kelly on one of the many Ted Egan tapes that my father purchased as my family was driving around Oz when I was 12. "Such as life Ned Kelly, Such as life." When my boyfriend and I went back last year we went and saw the film (twice) upon it's release in Adelhaide. We went on to Glenrowen and I was very pleased with how closely the movie and the song had followed Ted's Life (although as Hollywood is wont to add some things, there is no mention in the history of the love affair with the boss' wife) We also visited the Melbourne Gaol where Ned was held and saw his death mask. I was disapointed that the movie did not premier on the big screen in North America, we know so much about folk hero's from the United States that this was a welcome change. I recommend Ned Kelly as a wonderful glimpse of Austriala's history. For more movies about Australia check out Rabbit Proof Fence.Movie Review: Interesting Movie, Story, and Life
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this movie without seeing it first, but you know what?...I didn't need to! It was a great and very interesting movie!I had only seen the trailer for this when I bought it and I knew it looked good. I have never seen the other Ned Kelly movies, but I really like this one! Also, I never really heard of Ned Kelly to begin with, but I have now! This is a wonderful movie that I HAVE watched more than once. There's also wonderful acting from this cast. Heath Ledger is one of my favorite actors and I think he played a great and intense Ned Kelly. Orlando Bloom also played a very smooth and charming Joe! Naomi Watts and Geoffrey Rush did great as well. I am glad to say that I now know who Ned Kelly was! He was a man and a legend! The bonus features are very interesting and informative, too. I recommend this movie to all movie-watchers!

Movie Review: An interesting story and a great drama
Summary: 5 Stars
I went to see this movie because I'm a fan of several actors in this motion picture and I found a really good film. The story begins with Ned Kelly and the problems that lead him to jail in the Australia of the beginnings of the 19th century and it shows not only the injustice of the criminal law of those times and the friendship that lives with in the Kelly family but the English, the Irish and the Chinese inmigrants that are finding a way of living in this land during the development of a new nation that is creating it's own identity.
This movie is kind of a Robin Hood that lives in Australia, with a twist of comedy that just makes it a stronger drama, is an really good chronicle with the kind of ending that marks a good historical narration, also it has beautiful landscapes of the Australian soil, I truly liked it :).
Movie Review: Great movie
Summary: 5 Stars
As an Aussie, I grew up learning about Ned Kelly along with all the other Bushrangers but with my kids growing up overseas, I am always looking for ways to keep them in touch with their Aussie roots. This is, unfortunately, not a movie for young kids so mine haven't seen it yet but it will remain in my collection for when they ARE old enough. In the meantime, my husband and I enjoyed watching it. I liked learning more about this colorful character from our rich history and my husband really enjoyed the movie too.
