The thing that turned me off about "Australia" is that I wasn't prepared to see a "western" of sorts. The storyline was slow moving and I found myself skimming through through much of it.I did find the love scenes between Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman worth watching. I didn't really think of Australia as an epic movie because there were rarely any "sweeping" scenes of this beautiful country. And frankly that plus the romantic aspect of this film is what drew me to it. I should also point out that I found the one scene of a kangaroo being shot very disturbing as well as another of a man being killed by way of a large arrow through his body. Viewers should know that "Australia" has a fair amount of violence, which was a real turn off for me.
