Another Point to the Aussies!

Rating: 9/10 (6 May 2004)

Its so great to see that Australian Actors are making such a big stand in hollywood. It was a true pleasure to see the three talented aussies, Hugh Jackman, Richard Roxburgh and David Wenham all in this hollywood blockbuster. I had read a few reviews in the papers saying that the film was well done special effects wise, but didn't have a good story line, but i beg to differ. I went into the film, a little skeptical, thinking that if it was anything like the Mummy Returns i would be dissapointed. But i was proven wrong. I thought the film had a fantastic story, the director/writer Stephen Sommers managed to combine all these mythical monsters into one story and make it exciting and intersting and that in iteslf is quite a challange to do. The cast was perfect, with the handsome and talented hugh jackman as the lead, and the beautiful Kate Beckinsale by his side. The performance that really inspired me was Richard Roxburgh, he is amazing in everything that i've seen him in and i think that hollywood directors are starting to recognise the pure talent this man has. I think this movie is worth while seeing, its action packed, the story is interesting, the special effects are brilliant, all the actors are fantastic. Its a thrill ride, enjoy!!
