I saw this over the weekend and loved it. I haven't read the books so I cannot compare the book vs. film ratio, but I found the movie to be one of the realistic portrayals of life aboard a ship in the 19th century. Not that I'm an expert but you know - horrible conditions.

The acting was excellent and the story engaging. Check it out if a good adventure movie is what you are looking for.

What's the safety word?

This film is a disgrace for not being about a dominatrix.

Some of the Navy guys I work with got a sneak preview of the movie and said it was a very well-done film.

Die Russel Crowe Die.

How pushy is this title. Not only is he "master" but also "commander." Come on. We get it you're the boss. Whatever.

Well you can blame Patrick O'Brian for that, because he wrote the books, not Crowe.

No, Furtherman is right.

Blame the Irish for EVERYTHING.

There's no reason to hate the Irish. They're just like regular people except Irish.....and drunk.

I liked it. IT was well done. Crowe is a great actor, but I found myself bored whenever there was no fighting going on.

I like sailing with a chick and not having any dudes around.

More 'Master and Commander'? Aye-Aye, Captain! (http://www.cinematical.com/2009/07/20/more-master-and-commander-aye-aye-captain/)

I know from comments on past posts that I'm not the only moviegoer desperate for more of Captain Jack Aubrey. I'll go on record and say that as much as I enjoyed Captain Jack Sparrow, I'd much sooner take another journey with Aubrey and Stephen Maturin over a fourth Pirates.

There's a glimmer of hope now, as Russell Crowe talked to USA Today and said that very early talks were underway for a new Master and Commander installment. A script based on Patrick O'Brian's The Reverse of the Medal has been written, and like Far Side of the World, it's a combination of several different stories. Negotiations are currently underway to obtain the rights, but USA Today doesn't specify if they've lapsed, or if Fox lacks the neccessary books of the 20 volume series.

This would be great. M&C is an underrated gem from this past decade. I watch it a couple times a year and it's still as great as when I first watched.

Loved Master and Commander....I also thought the Horatio Hornblower miniseries on A and E a few years back with Ioan Gruffudd was amazing, despite his pretentiously awful name.

There's just something about that whole Napoleonic period of warfare on both land and sea that makes for kick ass TV/film. Great uniforms + awesome swashbucklery = fun stuff

I can only assume that his name is Welsh, in which case there's nothing even remotely pretentious about it.

Russell Crowe better start eating some salads before filming begins.
