Title: Still a great adventure, but on a smaller budget
Review: Any fan of the Hornblower books will appreciate the attention to details about life on board the ship, and your blood will still race with the adventure. David Warner is a world-class villain, better than anything in the original series. There are fewer real action/battle scenes, though, since apparently they did not take the ship(s) out to shoot at sea at all (too expensive it seems). So the films seem a little tamer visually than the first set of four Ioan Griffudd Hornblower outings.I still hope they put out more of these, as soon as they can...!
