Title: Rollicking Entertainment
Review: I finally got a chance to see this movie and I was not disappointed. I was unfamiliar with the source novels (Patrick O'Brian's novels) but it didn't matter much. This is a movie that takes you back to the days of Captain Blood or the Sea Hawk.Finely made in every way (10 Oscar nominations), Russel Crowe is terrific in the part of Capt. Jack Aubrey and Paul Bettany is great as his friend and alter ego Dr. Stephen Maturin. Kudos especially go to Max Pirkis in the role of the very young midshipman Blakeney. This is not a movie with a message but one made for entertainment's sake and it does that on a grand level.Highly recommended!!
