[Analyzing Inconsistencies]

Isn't this a major letdown for the latest Russell Crowe movie? Even A Beautiful Mind, perhaps the only hit since Gladiator, didn't fare all that well at the box office (despite its Ron Howard luster). Perhaps Crowe should have left a married woman / mother alone 3 years ago (Meg Ryan)? It's tougher rallying behind the guy now. At least it is for me.

Eds not the star Farrel is and from what clips I have seen Farrel is funny.

I saw Master & Commander this weekend and was very impressed (except for all the shots of the ship cruising with gunports open and guns run out). It'll be getting good word of mouth from me.

They did change the nationality of the priavateer Acheron's crew from American to French out of deference to American sensibilities (and box-office reality), but that didn't hurt the story.
