Hard to point out exactly what's wrong with these movie but after 10 minutes I found it obvious I was never going to like it. Perhaps it was seeing Kidman practically reprising her FAR AND AWAY role of the hard headed but beautiful, fish out of water aristocrat. Perhaps it was the constant sight of Jackman preforming shirt-less horse related activities in slow motion. Perhaps it was seeing them both hot-and heavy all overeach other while surrounded by the destruction of the Japanes bombing. Perhaps it was the imbecile bad guy who's always looking for new inspiration to do mean things but is unlucky enough to learn the kid is his son only after a spear goes through him ! Certainly not the worst of movies but the best thing I can say about it is that I was fortunate enough to see it at a practically empty theater which allowed me to comment on every stupidity out loud with my wife which made this a pretty good time at the movies.
