Title: Master and Commander: Grade A-
Review: Master and Commander is a slow, but good epic telling the story of Captain Jack Aubrey, a valiant sailor played by Russel Crowe. The story is set amidst the open ocean, in which Aubrey is frequently attacked by the French army. The story tends to be slow at times and the characters lack development even with the films length. What holds the movie together is its realism and accuracy to history and the period. Russel Crowe gives a performance worthy of Oscar nods but doesn't outshine his roles in Gladiator and A Beautiful Mind. This film is a must see of 2003 and a great film for fans of films like Treasure Island and Mutiny on the Bounty.
