Movie Reviews of The Bounty
Movie Review: Melvin Looked GREAT, And An Alternative Title
Summary: 5 Stars
Melvin Gibson really looked good back when this movie was filmed, and you could see the origins of many of the theatrical techniques which later became staples of his thespian repertoire -- emotional wide-eyed flashes, exasperated eye-rolling, and drowsy eyelids closing while he tried to stay awake. (This film, set in the past as it was, featured no scenes of another of Melvin's specialities, operating motor vehicles. Some would insist it's just not a Melvin Gibson movie if we don't seem him driving a vehicle in a car chase.)A great alternative title for this film, given the magnificent scenes featuring the robust Tahiti female characters, would have been "The Bouncy."
Movie Review: Roger Donaldson' s masterpiece !
Summary: 5 Stars
Sixty one years elapsed from the first release of the famous Opera prima with Clark Gable and Charles Laughton. But his long waiting was successful, because this superb cast headed by Anthony Hopkins, accompanied by, Edward Fox, Laurence Olivier, Liam Neeson and Daniel Day-Lewis and Mel Gibson and the solid script which recreates with admirable accuracy the real events that took place around this sinister story, make a must-see.
To my mind, this film signed and even determined the turning point as actor and future filmmaker to Mel Gibson
Movie Review: Epic
Summary: 5 Stars
Such a great film. I remember cheering for Mel Gibson's younger Fletcher Christian when I saw this as a kid on TV (he was The Road Warrior after all), and then siding with Anthony Hopkins' Captain Bligh when I was older after rediscovering the DVD. Very few historical films have the kind of emotional impact as this one does which is why it probably remains in my top ten to this day. Also has some good early performances by Liam Neeson and Daniel Day-Lewis. And it has a beautiful Vangelis score to drive the point home.Movie Review: Terrific movie.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have seen two of the three editions of this movie, this one and the first one. Of the two I think this one is far better. I felt that the scenes of being on the smaller row boat helped to allow the audience to empathize with the captain, a scence which the first movie lacked. I also think Anthony Hopkins makes a great British sea captain. The only thing I don't like is the film music, too strange sometimes.Movie Review: Great show.
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a must see. A great performance by Mel Gibson, in his younger days. It has great lessons about humane treatment of others, ethical issues, and even foreign relations issues. It's also a great adventure movie. Some parents might want to use discretion in showing it to young children because it does show topless native women, in a non-sexual way, like National Geographic might.
