Yes, it was good. Not the greatest movie of all time, but well acted, good effects, captured the spirit of the time and you always believed it was a real crew on a real vessel.

I know WAY too much about the period (have helped design and test some Age of Sail wargames) so there are quite a few historical inaccuracies, but not more than I can put up with.

Thanks, it definitely looked like an interesting film in the trailers.

True.

The Hornblower movies (made for TV a few years back) were also "accurate enough" so that the movie (dialog, sets, images, animation, and camera work) never got in the way of the story.

My problem with the Hornblower movies was that they warped the script where it wasn't needed.

But, having read M&C books, the movie does better than the book.
