Wordiezett So much average
WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
rutledge3512 Overall I thought Gallipoli was a top-notch mini-series with high production value, but held back by a few unnecessarily flaws...The major flaw being the very distracting back-story of Tolly & Bevan (the main characters/ brothers in the series) ... and the girlfriend back home. The way this side story is woven into the series unfortunately makes it seem to be far more defining to the main character... than the war itself. A somewhat slow paced production like Gallipoli can work if it ends up carrying the sort of gravitas it was aiming for (and that the story deserves). With a few changes this could have been accomplished, but fell completely short due to the girlfriend back-story. With a better choice of "side-stories" and a few casting changes, this could have been in the major leagues ... but ultimately is just a very good minor league series. Worth watching, but not as great as it could have been!
speedysteve Wow. This just got better and better. It must have been hard to have re-created such a difficult story of the Gallipoli battlefields. I have to say I was extremely impressed. The young actors were wonderful and very true to what I am sure a lot of these characters were like. I knew some of them as old men.You really felt like you were there. To see what these poor buggers went through really went right to the heart. The director and scriptwriter managed to tell the whole story as it truthfully happened and apparently it was approved by the Australian War Memorial for being factual. I did not fully understand till now just how it all unfolded, but to see this series made it all very simple to understand just what happened. I think this should be shown in all Australian High Schools. I had always heard about the Battle of Lone Pine but when I saw this portrayal I was so shocked. Also what happened to the New Zealanders should never have happened. I think the English people should see it also as it showed a loyal bunch of Australians and New Zealanders giving their lives and losing them so a stuck up English General could add another medal on his chest.I could not believe that this was being lied about to the Australian Prime Minister. And I was very surprised when the Aussie journalist Murdoch and his British counterpart decided to write and inform their leaders of the truth. Upon reading the letter which was circulated far and wide, the troops were finally withdrawn. Amazing story and very well told with this brilliant mini series.
rodroper open book of cliché and you have this mini series down pat. such a shame a wasted opportunity.the story of Gallipoli is powerful a story of courage and disaster to be treated with less finesse than a soap opera is a appallingas a ex soldier with strong family connection to Gallipoli/WW1 i can only voice a bitter disappointment at the shallow and almost meaningless depiction.the uniforms to clean. the disease not shown.the ground almost unbroken from artillery.
nonib-240-939027 It brings to home the tragedy and futility of Gallipoli. Four Aussie men from our ancestor families fought at Gallipoli. One man from Orange NSW was injured on landing on the 25th April - witnesses said it looked like his neck was severed, he survived after 30 days in hospital, he was in the 2nd battalion, later wounded on the 7th August at the battle of Lone Pine sadly he died on the 9th buried at sea from the Delta along with his commanding officer.His cousin, also born in Orange NSW, was a Sergeant Farrier in the 4th Field Ambulance, he would have witnessed the shocking injuries of the Anzacs. Perhaps he was able to comfort his younger cousin? Two brothers from Leichardt Sydney NSW, 2nd battalion reinforcements, survived Gallipoli but died later in France and Belgium. I see their faces in this film. The realty and emotion is overwhelming almost too difficult watch. But so well done.
