Title: Disappointing & Boring
Review: You can't make up for poor directing and boring dialogue with special effects.This movie was a complete failure. I would give it no stars if that was possible. Having read all of the Lucky Jack novels I was hoping that Russell Crowe would be able to bring to the screen something of what Patrick O'Brian had created in his 20 novel series. After the first hour I had to begin fast forwarding. It was a complete and total waste of my time. Even if I had not read the novels, this movie was just poorly done. I didn't care about the characters, the fighting scenes had good special effects but since I don't watch a movie for the special effects this did nothing to add to a movie that simply didn't make it as far as directing or acting was concerned. Save your money and time, give this movie a miss. Or better yet, get a copy of Mutiny on the Bounty with Marlon Brando.
