Solid story, literate dialogue, special effects never become the movie. First rate film-making the like of which is seldom seen today

How would i rate this movie..hmm..I think its worth one`s while to catch it...I am the sort who falls asleep at most movies...action or not...but surprisingly..time flew by with this one..and the VCD for this movie will be the first in my collection..but face it..being a movie how accurate can it be? For those clamouring for 100% accuracy are bound to be dissapointed....As a MOVIE..its great..not one dragging moment..Though i am not a fan of Russell Crowe, his portrayal of Aubrey deserves applause as far as i`m concerned..oh..and BTW NO movie can capture the exact atmosphere during war...

All I see in these reviews is `good action, but the rest is slow`. The whole POINT of the movie is to show what life aboard these ships was like, and it succeeded. ANd they mention Cape Horn several times - how could you NOT figure out they sailed south past Argentina?

Beautiful photography though not for the squeamish or those prone to sea sickness at times.Thoroughly enjoyed it,a tale of friendship, hardship and how different war was then .

It was just wrong, on every level. It is a carbon copy of every other hollywood film ot there. Every `twist` was expected, characters were not developed, dialogue was too simple and limited. There was no feeling for the characters... we simply didnt care if they lived or died. Plot was not developed, and a shame too, it had great potential in becoming a good film. The one thing that i found more or less desent were the sound effects and camera use. that is it Overall the film brought nothing new to the viewer, story or cinematography wise.

This movie was very poorly thought out. It is a 30 minute movie streched into over two hours. Just go get the trailer and watch that and save your money, you will enjoy it more. This is Russel Crowes worst movie ever.

It was a good movie however there were a few things that i felt were missing which could have made it a great movie. Not enough action it seemed to drag on and on

If you`re a fight-a-minute seeking, bubblegum action fan, you`ll hate this movie...and don`t come to the theatre and moan about it in our ears - this movie is art and action, a beautiful mix of conflicted ideals and the almost forgotten ancient art of war. It was beautiful to watch and thoroughly enjoyable.

A Fantastic movie, didnt quite make the expectations but non-the-less a movie worth watching.
