Not sure what all the fuss is about.
It's a rollicking story of adventure, love and the outback, told in a comic book format with intentional cartoony special effects and artificial lighting typical of Baz Luhrmann's style.

Anyone who claims errors in historical accuracy obviously doesn't understand that it's a bloody movie!

Thanks for the review Mark.
Doesn't the film run for over 3 hrs though?
Andrea and I are planning to see it, just hope it's not another "The English Patient"!!!!

Kind of cheesy that Jackman goes through an entire 3-hour movie being called "Drover". If you take it as self-satire, it's reasonably amusing.

I don't think it's enough of a disaster to end Baz's career....but it hasn't exactly enhanced his reputation. One more like it and he could be making commercials for toilet paper instead of Chanel!

I thought the trailers looked good; I'd like to see it.

Nicole Kidman makes me puke. Her best acting was in BMX Bandits. That's also when she had her best hairdo. Or was that a hairdon't?

This film was a great one, that she was in. Highly recommended.
