Epic ? Hardly. This film felt so cartoonish and ostentatious, it doesn't deserve this kind of praise. It tries too hard to become a modern Casablanca or Gone with the Wind but falls flat while doing so. One scene was quite effective, but the rest made me laugh out loud. If you're naive, or hungry for Hugh Jackman's chest or Nicole Kidman, who probably had more botox injections than an Asian supermodel, you'll love this film. For me, Australia was a visual snore...

Aiming to mix Gone with the Wind with Rabbit-Proof Fence, Luhrmann delivers spectacle but seem committed to neither the love story nor the tragedy of the stolen aboriginal generation. It's a disappointingly heavy-handed epic and matters aren't helped by the incredibly over-the-top performances from the otherwise good and well-cast actors (Kidman, both strong and fragile, Jackman: irritatingly cool, the boy: undeniably cute). You half expect "Faramir" to burst into a Dr. Evil-laugh at any moment.

A bloated and overblown yet watchable tribute/parody of Australian tourist kitsch with a charmingly silly, bizarre sense of humour about itself and its cartoonish, almost vulgar melodrama. How anyone could take this seriously is beyond me (hell even Nicole Kidman knowingly takes the piss out of herself and her frigid public image). However its completely understandable why it flopped and how it could bewilder a modern US audience but its refreshing that it doesn't pander to them.

an extremely dense, very full story. i would be offended if this didn't get as much acclaim as titanic (it was not deserving of anything good to be said about it.), and i know it won't. this movie is indeed an epic movie, the story alone demands that it should take up no less than two and a half hours. i really wish more epic movies were like this, and more movies took place in australia.

Baz Luhrmann, the director, bears primary responsibility for this silly mess of a film. He has a kitchy sensibility at odds with the masculine ethos of the first two-thirds of the film. I couldn't believe my eyes and ears when Luhrmann made repeated visual and musical references to The Wizard of Oz. Pure camp! All wrong! Australia resembles Pearl Harbor, another awful film with one outstanding scene (the bombing itself) and enough striking images to fill an audience-grabbing preview.

The story is a camp, cliche-ridden, throwaway, weightless, awfully paced and unnecessary mess. I can't imagine a worse leading duo than Jackman/Kidman. But.. It's damn pretty. Luhrman can't write but he knows his way around the camera. A few particularly epic scenes, a surprisingly not suicide-inducing performance by Jackman and dazzling visuals make this worth sitting through, particularly in theatres. The constant Wizard of Oz references made me wish I was watching that instead, though.

The first half is a western, the second half leaning towards war (just as the posters made it seem), but the transition is so gradual and natural, it's almost impossible to notice. It's campy at times, with some hammy performances and a light-hearted beginning that doesn't match the heavy second half, but it all works seamlessly, as hard as that is to believe. Luhrmann surprised the hell out of me with this one.

This movie is full of humor, tragedy and misfortune. The characters are extremes of decency or wickedness. The story is sometimes sappy, sentimental or heavy handed. The dialog was mostly good. It is well acted, but the emotional attachments were not very convincing. Good sound and music. And a quality production. It's a long interesting saga that is worth watching, despite its several flaws.

Somehow I was led to believe this is a historic drama, something like "Cold Mountain". But from the first scenes film established itself as a cartoonish comic adventure film, and it was kept at it until the last dramatic act. Well, I have to admit I was fairly entertained by this syle. Worth watching if you are up for a big, fat and expensive looking Hollywood entartainment film. Just be sure to stack up more popcorn than usually, because it's really damn long.

All in all, this is a nice movie. It's not so special that you will be damned if you miss it, but it is worth your time. Hugh Jackman is great to look at, sometimes a little bit over the top but nevertheless. Kidman gives a great, nervous performance. I hoped for more epic pictures and the story was quite flat but entertaining.

Felt like 2 or 3 movies in 1, but I didn't mind. Deals with standing up for what's right against monopolies in the cattle business, the war, & the equality of Aborginal people. Also about learning to love, and what's important in life. I was captivated by the movie, but did find fault with a few story elements (and sadly the chemistry between Jackman & Kidman wasn't great—though they were wonderful otherwise). I adored Walters as Nullah & completely believed Gulpilil as King George. Recomme

Cheerily corny and intermittently irritating, AUSTRALIA is undeniably entertaining, especially for a nearly three-hour historical epic. Might actually be the biggest swing of Luhrmann's career, but most will struggle to recognize it as such due to the lack of pop songs and feverish camera movements.

Australia is essentially a movie and its sequel stitched together. The 1st part is filmed like a comedy with Kidman strutting about, Jackman getting in barfights and the antagonists twirling their metaphorical moustaches while expositing; bordering on parody. The adventure, cattle-wrangling and comradery is watchable if not particular exciting. The 2nd part is just mediocre war and family melodrama. Luhrmann's direction is uninspired, and some of the subject matter deserves better treatment.

Lurhmann's treatment of this latter subject is indeed provocative, but doesn't illuminate every corner: Jesus' Great Commission calls Christian believers to take the gospel to all nations. But in practice, sometimes that mandate has been misinterpreted to justify forcible, insensitive and immoral behavior. That is what Australia concentrates on--becoming something of a case study in how not to evangelize. (plugged.com)

Ultra-stylised, artificial, mythologistic, self-consciously "retro" and "postmodern" if not simply old-fashioned, and compromised by its status as a tourism advertisement, yet some parts kind of work and it does try fairly hard to do certain things that Australian culture has either avoided altogether or approached in very mediocre and safe ways. But an insecure and cringing Australian public was unlikely ever to accept a lecture in cultural politics packaged with such flamboyant theatricality.

This film is really just strange. It feels like three separate films. The first third has a very wacky, heightened tone to it. Then it becomes very serious, and by all accounts a very well done story. I think the middle of this movie works really well, and ends....or so I thought. It then goes on for an additional hour, which really drags the story to a halt, and gets a rather cliche ending. All in all, I think it's 1/3 of a great film. The portions bookending it aren't so great.

Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman and Baz Luhrmann. My 14-year-old-self's head would have imploded on the thought of all those goodies in one film. Sadly, however, it doesn't meet expectations. At all. The main problem is, it's too long. You think the movie ends at least three times, but no. There's too many stories to be told in one film, so it ends up not telling any of them full-heartedly. It does have a very hot and wet half-naked Hugh, so I owe myself-at-14 to give it +10 points for that.

If this had been released as two seperate movies, each half would have a 99 from me, but as it is, the two halves of the movie are just so vastly different it drags the whole thing down. The first half could have been an amazing "western" sort of film, about the cattle-drive. The second could have been a heavy-handed war movie. But trying to combine the two things together into one film just turned it into a too-long too-heavy-handed bore.

It was goofier and campier then I expected when it started off but that's not all bad. I never did get used to how unreal Luhrman makes everything look. He needs to lay off of the color correction a tad. Once the 'City Slickers' faze of the movie was over it went from somewhat tolerable to unbearably predictable and uninteresting. Nicole Kidman has the dramatic range of an animatronic robot.

Luhrmann's unique love-it-or-hate-it style. This is an important film for the Australian industry, and it certainly has great Australian scenery but I wasn't sold on the acting or story. There's a little bit of magic in this film, but it feels too much like Pearl Harbor.

Well, the same story. One of the film's good part is of course the visuals. And "white man" respects the others, that's odd.

Ticks a lot of boxes. Visually sweeping and majestic. Celebrates Australia's natural resources and deals with Australian issues. Likeable characters with just the right amount of stereotype. Good chemistry between the leads. Plenty of action. Battle scenes. Historical context. Period detail. Well-structured, if slightly cheesy story. One of Luhrmann's best films. Not one of the definitive "Australian" films, but mighty fine entertainment nonetheless.

The first part is comedy and the latter one tragedy. I hated the striking out CGI animation parts and fake comedy on first part. Not that the latter part was any better. Characters did not track any attention of mine. Pretty oddball to be called as "an epic".

Baz Luhrmann's "direction" never seems to help the actors--it only ever seems to be about his gimmicky ideas, and this is a perfect example of that. Highly irritating to sit through.,,for many reasons, not the least of them being its ridiculous length (almost 3 hours). It's at least an hour too long.

Vapid Lean wanabee. This flick drops the ball at the hour thirty mark and never manages to pick it up again. It's beauty (the landscape, the shot composition, the actors) can't save it from being one of most boring flicks of the year.

An extremely long and boring movie. I didnt expect much of this movie so wasnt disappointed. The acting is below par. The only thing worth watching is the cinematography of the Outback.

2 hours of cattle driving? Surprisingly not so bad. Everything else, 10 times worse.
