one of the most underrated movies out there.

no one talks about it and it doesn't have a wasted scene in three hours.

Incredible.

Wish we could have had a couple three sequels even half as good.

There’s plenty of material for them to make some sequels!

The sound production on it is spectacular. You need to watch it on a proper surround setup if you don't have one. It's absolutely stunning

Just wanted to point out that it was nominated for Best Picture and Best Director at that year's Oscars...but it was the same year as LOTR: Return of the King.

The scene when they had to cut the rope to the mast so the boat wouldnt take on water is such a sad, but fantastic scene.

Hey this is a good movie

This board is so obsessed with it though it may have single handedly made the movie overrated

No the movie is brilliant. A nearly perfect example of showing, not telling. Especially if you have read the books, you know the detail of all the technical stuff. The fact they were able to just integrate so much of it into the movie with minimal exposition deserves an award all its own.

Henry Cavill is awesome and I wish they would stop fricking around and cast him as Bond already. But he's no Jack Aubrey. Russell Crowe was perfectly cast. Unfortunately, probably too old now for a sequel. HBO needs to do a big budget series. You could easily make multiple seasons with the book material.

I really have to re-watch this film. I hated it the first time but after all the high praise here I have to give it another go.

It's a shame Russell Crowe is eating himself into a heart attack now.
