I had negative feelings about this film going into it, and for the first 30 minutes of the film I didn't know if I could finish it. With slapstick comedic moments, mixed with drama, romance, and adventure, this film lacked direction completely. Then after a waste of an hour and 15 minutes it turned into an emotional epic which it should have been in the first place.Director Baz Luhrmann is an Australian, and this was his first feature film since Moulin Rouge! (2001). So now he is a Musical Director crossing over into everything else at once? Nicole Kidman has another failure in my eyes, she has been unable to succeed in anything but children's movies since Cold Mountain in 2003. I'd rather not take the time to comment on those said failures such as The Stepford Wives , Birth, and The Interpreter. Hugh Jackman's best performance last year was as the host of the Oscars, and being Australian himself I completely forgive him for being in this awful movie. He was one of the only redeeming qualities in this very long directionless film.
Save yourself two and a half hours and watch something else.
