this movie be so unrelentingly bad and i could hardly believe i be watch it . the directing and editing and production and and script all seem a though they have be do by junior high school student who do not know all that much about movie . there be no narrative flow that make any sort of sense . big emotional moment and climax ( like one early on between heath ledger and naomi watt ) and character relationship ( like one hint at at the very begin ) come completely out of no where and be not set up like they would have be in a more elegantly and effectively make film . the character be sadly underdeveloped and make it difficult for u to have any sort of connection with them . the acting and surprisingly and be not entirely bad and but the terrible writing cancel out the relatively convincing performance . the film play like a particularly bad t. v. western or epic and and sadly diminish the fascinating ( true ) story that it attempt to tell . i have read a lot of review that defend the film a be important to australian because of the subject matter . that all very well and but just because ned kelly be an important australian historical icon doesnt make the movie good . no one be say that the subject matter isn not good and just the quality of the movie itself . pearl harbor be about a very important historical event to american and but that doesn not mean i be go to defend the movie and say it be good and because it be still bad . a failure all around and though heath and orlando be lovely to look at .
