Review of Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) by Georget. — 22 Jul 2006

Very good and intelligent movie, but not for those with 21st century attention spans that need something new blowing up every scene. Its commendable that this movie did not feel the need to resort to senseless violence throughout in order to please its viewers.

Its just as historically accurate as the books, and just as a note to all the people that seem to be complaining about how "theres no way they'd carry an extra mast," if you knew anything about history you'd know that they DID carry extra masts and timber, and that it was kept below deck so that it would not be damaged.

Think people.
