Watch Ned Kelly For Free

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

A young Ned Kelly saved a boy from drowning. In 1871, Ned (Heath Ledger) finds a horse and rides it into town. He is accused of stealing the horse against incompetent corrupt cops. After 18 months in prison, he's released trying to live the straight and narrow. He is taken with married English lady Julia Cook (Naomi Watts). His sister Kate is harassed by Constable Fitzpatrick and their horses are stolen by the jealous police. Ned steals them back. Soon things get out of hand. Ned is accused of attempted murder and goes on the run with his brother Dan, friends Joe Byrne (Orlando Bloom) and Steve Hart. Superintendent Francis Hare (Geoffrey Rush) is brought in to hunt the gang down.Everything is just so over-the-top melodramatic. The Kellys are the angels of the earth. The police are all drunken Keystone Cops. Even the music is overwrought. He's such a great guy that he lets the cops fire the first shot even though he pointing the gun right at them. It wears me down until I don't care if the Kellys are the good guys. The characters are too simplistic. And somebody turn down the music.

I LOVED this and i thought Heath ledger was brilliant ! Stop saying you lot hate this it really hurts my feelings because your saying mean stuff about a deceased, talented, beautiful man(Heath Ledger)so just leave the poor man out of this.i have nothing else to say so I'm basically just going to type random words - hello, love, true, pink, heath, ledger, Ned,Kelly, Irish, English, police, coppers, ghost adventures, Zak Bagans, beautiful, bored, tired,yawn,interested, angry,sad, depressed, lonely, crying, broken heart, singing songs, Bagans, beautiful, bored, tired, yawn, interested, angry, sad, depressed, lonely, crying, broken heart, singing songs.Sorry about all this.

Ned Kelly (2003, Dir. Gregor Jordan) After getting threatened by Kelly's friends and family, Constable Fitzpatrick (Paramore) places the blame on Ned Kelly (Ledger) and exaggerates what happened. With the biggest ever award available, Kelly and his gang set into the wild, to remain hidden from everyone who seeks them. Even if it means having his family arrested, the Kelly Gang stay hidden and plan a way to get their names cleared.Interesting story of Ned Kelly, played well by Heath Ledger. Took a while for the film to get going, with the conclusion really hooking you in. The supporting characters were well played by Orlando Bloom and Geoffrey Rush. Naomi Watts brought to us an interesting character, but one which really the film could have done without.He said what a lucky fellow I am to be with such a beauty as you. – Joe Bryne (Orlando Bloom)Too lucky, if you ask me. – Aaron Sherritt (Joel Edgerton)

This film is not an action film, nor is it an adventure film. Except for brief moments, it features very little actual shooting. It's a drama, be aware of that. And unfortunately, it's not a very original or thought provoking drama. It's too shallow and too one-sided.I've barely heard of Ned Kelly before I watched this film, but after watching The Proposition, I became very much interested in seeing what else Australia could muster up with an 1800's outback setting. I like westerns, so Australian westerns was an interesting alternative. I made sure to read up some on Ned Kelly before sitting down and watching the film. From what I gather, it was a fairly accurate retelling of his life, except some embellishment and a few sub-plots added for the sake of the script.But like so many films these days, the film barely develops it's characters. Ned is developed thoroughly, for sure. But even his best friend Joe, only passes through the film as a guy who picks up a lot of chicks. Not to mention Ned's brother and his brother's friend. We feel more or less nothing for these. Had only these characters had one extra scene focusing sorely on them in the film, it might have made it a better experience. As it is now, the film feels like a drama, with the characterizations of an action film. Shallow and not intriguing.Even so, it is a fairly interesting film. Heath Ledger plays his role well and the conflict between the common folks and the British Empire gets heavy focus. And if get the story, or legend as it's become, this is exactly what a Ned Kelly retelling should.I also find it interesting to experience a film aimed at an Australian public. Being a fan of history, and of other cultures, I found it a good experience watching this film, and getting something in return. Learning a bit about Australian mentality. For all it's faults, it's an interesting film worthy of a glance if you're interested in the subject matter as well as a pretty and well filmed drama.
