Australia - This is just about top of my worst film of all time list.

I only saw it because a good friend and colleague had a large role as one of the bad guys. (And because I had free tickets). He now owes me three hours of my life!

Who keeps giving roles to Nicole?! Did anyone tell her that this was apparently a serious film, not a pantomine! And what's with her face and forehead - nothing moves??

Almost everything in this film is fantasy, but the Director is trying to push it as reality. Australia (the country) is neither as bad or racist as this film tries to push.

They couldn't even get basic documented historical facts right; what battalion do we see stationed in Darwin, when did Japanese troops raid islands below New Guinea, Liberty ships in Australia so early in the war, did we really send aboriginal kids out to an island that was never in reality invaded. There's just too much to bother mentioning.

For you people of other countries who see this drivel - please understand - this is not the reality of our wonderful country, it has more fantasy than Lord Of The Rings. The Director is a typical Western hating lefty.

You got one thing right though Baz. There is a great country called Australia, and it does have a town called Darwin, but you failed on almost every other point!

Russell Crowe - Smart move to turn down this film.
