If it's crap... We'll tell you

Australia

As most people know Baz Luhrman's new movie Australia is opening soon and I don't really know how good this movie is gonna be, don't get me wrong I love Baz Lurhman's work on Romeo+Juliet and Moulin Rouge, but this movie looks like it could be his weakest movie. The main thing wrong with this movie is probably the plot, it sounds like so many other films plots like Titanic or Gone with the Wind, and the lead characters seem like an Australian Jack and Rose, and also the running time for this movie has me feeling a little bit worried with it clocking in at nearly 3 hours long.

Probably a best picture nod.; ▶ Reply to This

1) Hugh Jackman
2) Hugh Jackman

Oh and saying two high profile actors is clearly a win is such a stupid thing to say. Its like saying Ghost Rider was going to be good because of Nicolas Cage...; ▶ Reply to This
