Dir. Roger Donaldson
Rating: [PG]
Genres: Action/Adventure / Adventure

Feat. Mel Gibson, Anthony Hopkins, Laurence Olivier, Edward Fox, Daniel Day-Lewis, Bernard Hill, Liam Neeson

Aroview: Robert Bolt’s (A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS) version of the ‘Mutiny on the Bounty’ tale of Fletcher Christian’s (Mel Gibson) mutiny against Capt. Bligh (Anthony Hopkins) on a British naval vessel in 1789, directed with high-spirited flair by NZ-er Donaldson. Top-rate design and action accompany a slightly romanticised version of the tale.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
3 stars (Good Enough) Another good performance from Hopkins and although Gibson is out of his depth there is talent to burn in the supporting cast with Edward Fox stealing the courtroom scenes. There are very good production values and photography. ~Tubbs
