I didn't know who Ned Kelly was before I saw this film. I wasn't expecting much since I've heard mostly bad reviews of this film. But I was surprised by how well Heath Ledger carried the main character. He was excellent... Full review

The performances were superb, the costumes delivered a unique feeling for the period and being a Victorian Living Historian, I was impressed with the accuracy of weaponry and attention to detail. I wouldn't say you need any knowledge of the Kelly... Full review

The story of Ned Kelly has been enshrouded in myth and exaggeration for time out of hand, and this film is no exception. What ensures Ned Kelly has a permanent place in history is the effort he went to in order... Full review

I always go in and watch a movie with an open mind, including this one. The movie is dull and already in the first five minutes of the film I want to leave. Im a big Orlando Bloom fan, but this... Full review

I'm sure that not many people outside of Australia have ever heard of the legend of Ned Kelly. I once saw a documentary about the man, but that's the only time I once saw or heard anything about him. And I... Full review

the impressive Aussie import "Ned Kelly" will need some truly heroic word-of-mouth to overcome a tentative initial release....Despite a strong cast of rising international stars.... ... Full Review

The lush cinematography and fast paced but strangely lyrical direction from Jordan give the film a moody....Though gutted by some for its lack of historical accuracy, Gregor Jordan's Ned Kelly practically bristles with energy and righteous passion..... ... Full Review

This is a truly exciting film which concentrates on the narrative to help the audience be part of the proceedings....The overall look of the film is amazing, glorifying the Victorian bushland and dusty towns....Orlando Bloom is sharp and engaging as Ned's best mate and inveterate lady's man, Joe Byrne.... ...
