Title: A Truly Entertaining Movie
Review: First of all --- don't listen to the naysayers who have trashed this film with their silly 1, 2, and 3-star reviews. Most of those reviews are either totally unobjective or so nitpicky that you wonder if the reviewer has ever enjoyed ANY movie!!Also, for the reviewers who have criticized the movie because "it's not like the book" --- when have you ever seen a film that captured the entire essence of the book(s) it was drawn from? There is simply not enough time to do that on screen!!This movie kept me on the edge of my seat for most of the time. The action scenes were probably the best ever for a seafaring flick. Of course, there were stretches that went a lot slower, but these were for character development (for those of you who complained about the "lack" of such).I won't go into the storyline here, as numerous other reviewers have already covered that. I love movies with sailing vessels, and this is probably the best I've ever seen. Highly recommended!!!
Is the review positive or negative?
