Australia (the movie)

I was disappointed with this movie. I think the reason it wasn't the epic it was touted as is because there was too much humour and too much of the whole hollywood feel and not enough of the usual arthousey feel we find so much of in great Aussie flicks.

For my mind, if this movie had been made purely as a drama and the characters had been less corny it had the potential to be a great movie.

It was entertaining, but not one I'd bother watching over and over again.

eta: I also think it would have done better with lesser known lead actors.
