November 5, 2011An interesting take on the mutiny on the bounty. Anthony Hopkins is great as Capt. Bligh, Roger Donaldson's direction is competent but Mel Gibson comes off as an aloof Fletcher Christian. Overall an enjoyable and underrated period piece.

January 5, 2011Mom has wanted me to see Mutiny on the Bounty for years. This combination of stars made me willing to give it a try. We watched it together and I was blown away.

This movie requires a bit of patience for the slower points in the plot, but is not likely to put anyone to sleep. Be aware, there are a lot of brea... read more

On the basis of three films, it is now possible to say that the Pacific Ocean is not Dino De Laurentiis's cup of tea. Full Review

Geoff Andrew, Time Out
It's all a brave try, though Gibson is perhaps not up to the demands of a Christian's progress from naive rating to self-loathing exile, and Donaldson's direction often verges on the stolid. Full Review

Chuck O'Leary, Fantastica Daily
Hopkins brilliant perfomance adds complexity to Captain Bligh, and this intense and intelligent historical adventure is the third and best film version of the famous mutiny.

Brian Webster, Apollo Guide
Despite its flaws, this is a film that looks great, includes a memorable Hopkins performance, and is well enough written to keep us thinking rather than latching onto stereotypes. Full Review
