    Heath Ledger and Orlando Bloom are two of my favorite actors, and I could not pass up a chance to see them in action in the same movie! Both men were exceptional in this film; however, I really thought this movie was going to have a wee bit more action in it than it did. With as clever as the movie makes Ned Kelly (played by Heath Ledger) out to be throughout the entire movie, it really leaves you wondering in the end where all those smarts went to, and why no one he wanted to save was saved. Pride kicked in instead. Anyhow, the movie was ok, but a little on the boring side. I thought it was one of those movies that starts out slow, and then give you one big, great finish, but no...it was pretty disappointing. The Young Guns shoot outs were much more entertaining. True story or not, I think Hollywood could have added some fiction just to keep the story more interesting.

    This was a decent movie. The filming location was absolutey beautiful. Heath Ledger does a great job. The fact that it is a true story adds to it. Sort of like an irish Jessie James.

    Heath Ledger was an awesome actor. So sorry to lose him. He was a real natural. THis movie starts out a little slow, but builds! IT was great. I watched it several times and saw something I missed everytime. It was just as interesting and attention getting as the time before.
