Bardlerx Strictly average movie
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
The Couchpotatoes The amount of ten star reviews for this movie is so laughable. It's obvious they were given by people that were involved or knew somebody that was involved in this movie. You want to know which people? Just click on the names of the reviewers that gave a high rating and you will see that they only reviewed one movie. IMDb should not allow new reviewers to give a ten star review unless they continue reviewing afterwards. The Legend Of Ben Hall is just a mediocre movie. Only the settings like the landscapes were worth seeing. The acting is for sure not great, sometimes just okay but sometimes also bad. The story itself is a so-called true story. Well if that's the case there must have been alot of dumb Australians at that time. Everybody likes to see outlaws robbing banks, getting the money from them is like stealing from an even bigger thief. But these outlaws just rob normal people, and those same normal people just welcome them in their lifes, bars, houses. It's just too ridiculous for words. The action scenes are also very bad, the unlikeliness of outlaws escaping so easely everytime they get cornered is just too stupid for words. Believe me it was really bad. Add on that that the three outlaws look like they came straight out of a choir and don't look anything like dangerous and it's almost laughable. The movie is also extremely long for the story it is. You are litteraly waiting for it to end as fast as possible. I think I checked at least a dozen times to see how long I had to endure this movie even more. And when I read that this movie won some awards in Australia I'm really wondering with what other garbage it was competing. Don't waste your time on this one.
antonusala This film is historically accurate, with a realistic and compelling description of the main, and supporting characters.I did not find this film boring. Rather, the historical details were very accurate, which is very unusual with "based on real events" type plots.This is a movie worth watching. The historical accuracy leaves the viewer considering ramifications of the relationships portrayed for days.
Wise Guy First of all boring, I couldn't cope with the main character or the rest of them. A fearless outlaw who never shot anyone, a cheated husband who hit at one of his best friend's wife, eager for revenge, never actually does it, wanted to go to America, never did something in that direction. At some point I really wanted to hunt him myself. A non hero, a non anything, with my deepest apologies to Australian people if this offends them. I never seen a gun fight where nobody is able to shoot someone, not to kill but only shoot, in my entire life. Well except the end, there apparently nobody missed ...
jshepherd-07534 This film is awesome. It captures the true history of our local legends and area as a lot of the film is set in Binda, Australia. Knowing the legend well and folk stories surrounding it, the makers and actors of Ben Hall are spot on. Well done and I wished it was longer!!! We also managed to put the movie on for two runs in Binda Hall and there was standing ovation at the end of each screening. If you want to see a bushranger / western movie that is authentic then this is it!!!
