I loved the movie. Still do. It's obvious that the producers and screenwriters actually read the O'Brien books. I think Crowe and Bettany did a fabulous job of portraying these two characters. There was somthing for everyone in the film; action, music, humor and tragedy. I just wish they'd make another one with the same cast.

Actually the film was adapted from three novels in the Aubrey–Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian.

All the books are by far better than the movie, but saying that, I must admit I enjoyed the film as well.

I wish they would make another. It's to bad they had to ruin the chronology of the books as they would have made for an outstanding series of films.

Agree also that the Hornblower series is first rate. Love em.

Steve
