Review of Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) by Jackson W — 26 Sep 2013

My goodness, this film is boring. The fact that so many people give this the thumbs up is really alarming. I have seen educational films with more engaging moments than this. Throughout the film, all we are given is nice visuals to just a bunch of actors talking in butchered accents and never once do we have a formulated story.

Just bloodshed, madness, and a few semi-likable singing and music scenes. From the cover of the DVD case, I was expecting to be thrilled, but minutes after I saw the end credits, I am still waiting. To me, this was an extreme failure on Crowe's part.
