    Often handsome but sometimes turgid account of the life of an often celebrated figure that seems uncertain whether to treat him as a folk hero or as an ordinary person driven to extremes.

    One to watch

    Ned Kelly, arguably Australia's favourite son is brought back to life courtesy of Heath Ledger. Although there are the odd bits here and there that would not stand up to closer scrutiny by the historians, it really is a film worth seeing.

    The film portrays Lelly in a very favourable light and even though it is a one sided account, it certainly is worth watching. Rush is cast well as the 'evil' constable.

    good but not great

    ned kelly is a man that stood for what he belived in and became a legened from it and has had many movie made most have been historicly wrong untill the one with mick jagger was made and now there is this one which dose seem to remain very true to the kelly legend yet seems to move slowly compared to the mick jagger film but you do get enwrapped and it dose portray the injustece by the police so well that you have to keep reminding your self that this happend in the 1800 and not today
