Ned Kelly (2003)

As usual......
Heath Ledger gives a performance that is so real, so genuine and so meaningful, that you actually think you are watching the real Ned Kelly, even if you knew nothing about him before seeing this movie. Another reminder of losing one of the most incredible actors of this lifetime, all too soon. The film itself is interesting, and almost unimagineable at times. At times, the story is told in somewhat general terms, and so some of the detail missing makes you have to think about what would have happened or could have happened to these young men. I would recommend seeing it for the interesting, sad, heartwarming and unfortunate life story of Ned Kelly, but more than that, if you are a fan of Heath Ledgers, will not be disappointed.

Irish Pride
I really enjoyed this movie on the whole. There are parts where it is a little slow, but overall it is a great movie about the underdog. Ned Kelly and his outlaws stood up to the British and the coppers who declared war on them and their families. They had no idea what was about to hit them, as they soon learned, Irish people stick up for their own blood. Heath Ledger was great in this movie as Ned Kelly, a strong leader with a sense of right and wrong. I only give it 4 stars because it was a little slow in parts. I don't really know the exact history and if all the facts were here, but as a movie this is a good one. Along the same lines as The Patriot and Michael Collins. Worth watching especially if you are Irish.
