SMH Staff Sydney Morning Herald 06/24/2020
Messrs J and N Tait, in the result, presented an ingeniously realistic succession of pictures taken at Glenrowan, the Strathbogie and Wombat Ranges and other Victorian spots at one time haunted by the robbers in question. Go to Full Review Age Staff The Age (Australia) 07/08/2019
A conscientious and, on the whole, a creditable, effort has been made to reproduce the tragedies as they occurred, and if there were any imperfections in detail probably few in the hall had memories long enough to detect them. Go to Full Review NZ Herald Staff New Zealand Herald 11/06/2020
The story of Ned Kelly and his gang is as well known... in Australian history, and the representation presented last night by Messrs. J. and N. Tait was a most creditable effort to give the story in pictorial form. Go to Full Review Sunday Times Staff Sunday Times (Australia) 06/24/2020
An army of supers [extras] shouting, firing, and giving commands from the rear of the cloth added greatly to the excitement. Go to Full Review Mercury Staff The Mercury (Australia) 06/24/2020
Without offering an opinion as to what were the actual facts, it is safe to say that the pictures generally have considerable merit. Go to Full Review Tele Staff Daily Telegraph (Australia) 07/08/2019
The exploits of the Kelly gang... were admittedly sufficiently daring in their character and tragic in their sequence to provide a sensational page of Australian history, but it is not the class of history to which a nation points with pride. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Robert C. @RobertJCross Jul 2 Better than some modern movies. Blown away by the narrative pacing and acting this early in film. See more Lucas t @Groovy Feb 21 From what I've seen from a YouTube restoration I found it was quite good, but all the best parts were told through intertitles and not film, because they are, well, lost. See more arjay m 10/28/2024 For one hundred and eighteen years ago, this is a masterpiece, it's very intresting. See more Erik H 10/08/2023 damn masterpiece COME ON 1906!!!!!! See more 03/13/2022 What little has survived of this film stands as a testament to its vast ambition, and its place in history needs more appreciation. I can only imagine seeing Ned Kelly dawn his infamous bulletproof armor must have been an Iron Man like spectacle for the time. See more 03/11/2021 good good movie! i liked the show See more Read all reviews
