For those who say that "they don't make movies like they used to," I present Australia as the counterpoint. This is definitely old-fashioned film-making from the decidedly old-fashioned Baz Luhrmann, and whether that's a good or a bad thing I leave up to the viewer. Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman certainly fit the '40s movie star image that this movie is shamelessly ripping off (specifically The African Queen, which STILL isn't available on DVD yet for some reason) but there's just no real movie here to back up the bombast.
