Kidman struggles with accents, thinks emoting is a gaping mouth and just plain annoys me. I agree she is an awful actress and ruins every movie she is in. Time to retire old girl before your face cracks.

Oh dear, this is what I had feared. I have long doubted the talent of ‘our Nic’.I really hoped that Australia was going to be a turn up for the books for her. It seems I may be bitterly disappointed. It is good to hear I am not alone in thinking she is overrated, I have never understood her appeal. I thought everyone loved her and that I was the weird one. I kept looking for things to like about her, forcing myself to think of positive things about her. If I had known the whole world felt this way, I would have spoken up earlier. Aussies like to bag our own, but hate it when foreigners do. Get over it I say, don’t be so jingoistic, it’s not a good look.

She can’t act – spot on. And from what I’ve seen of the trailers she’s got even worse. They should have gone for Cate Blanchett. Or even just an English actress – it’s not meant to be an Australian so the part didn’t really have to be a local. Just anyone but Kidman. Any person who can’t even own up to getting surgery done when it’s blatantly obvious really shouldn’t be given any work.

I don’t think Nicole Kidman is a good actress either, and I’m allowed to say that because I’m an aussie! She is always very wooden and her face is always severe, she just plain overacts. Good Australian actresses are Cate Blanchett, Toni Collette (even though I don’t particulary like her) and Rachel Griffiths. Nicole Kidman only got to where she is today because she married Tom Cruise.

I disagree that Nicole Kidman is a bad actress, but I do think she's lost her spot on the A-List, and she has to admit that she isn't able to draw in the crowds anymore, assuming she ever did.

Having said that, I think 'Australia' would've been better served with someone like Naomi Watts or Miranda Otto.

I think she is fairly accurate.
I love love loved French and Saunders piss take of Cold Mountain with the Kidman character doing just that, hopefully they'll get to have a go at STRAYA too.
