Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertThe Bounty is a great adventure, a lush romance, and a good movie.
Variety - 10/10 by Variety StaffAn intelligent, firstrate, revisionist telling of the famous tale of Fletcher Christian's mutiny against Captain Bligh.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 9/10 by Jay ScottThe Bounty is an intelligent, firstrate, revisionist telling of the famous tale of Fletcher Christian's mutiny against Captain Bligh. Particularly distinguished by a sensational, and startlingly human, performance by Anthony Hopkins as Bligh, heretofore one of history's most one-dimensional villains.
Creative Loafing - 8/10 by Matt BrunsonWhile no match for the revered classic that earned the Best Picture Academy Award for 1935 (Mutiny on the Bounty, starring Clark Gable and Charles Laughton), this is an intelligent retelling that relates the historic mutiny through an altered prism.
Miami Herald - 6/10 by Bill CosfordThe Bounty has an incredible cast and a fabulously well-put-together production, and pays impressive attention to historical accuracy – more than any of the previous cinematic recreations. With all this going for it, it's a pity that the drama falls flat.
Empire - 6/10 by Ian NathanFilm is elegant but never beautiful, a pretence at Lean’s magnificence contradicted by a lavish but anachronistic score by Vangelis. It is the words and performances which excite; their director is out of his depth.
Newsweek - 6/10 by David AnsenIt's all a brave try, though Gibson is perhaps not up to the demands of a Christian's progress from naive rating to self-loathing exile, and Donaldson's direction often verges on the stolid.
New York Times - 6/10 by Vincent CanbyOn the basis of three films, it is now possible to say that the Pacific Ocean is not Dino De Laurentiis's cup of tea.
Washington Post - 5/10 by Gary ArnoldThe movie seems to have been planned, written, acted, shot and edited by people who were constantly being overruled by other people. It's totally lifeless.
User Review - 10/10 by Ty HExcellent remake with superb soundtrack. Take me to Tahiti!!
