opens tomorrow!

"It's a $135 million art film," said Russell Crowe, who is winning praise for his robust portrayal of Patrick O'Brian's seafaring hero, the captain of H.M.S. Surprise, Jack Aubrey. "I'm confident the audience exists."

I'm going Saturday morning. Been looking forward to this since I 1st heard about it a year ago. I read the whole series a few years back over a two month period.

I am very interested in this film but the advertising is over the top.

Problem with the film I suspect, they've been advertising it NONSTOP on almost all the stations I watch, including the History channel. Makes me suspicious that it might not be up to being good enough to watch.

Wife wants to see it even though its a blood and guts bit, she has liked all of Crowes movies she has seen.

I liked the old freaky moby dick..with Gregory peck.

By the way, how did that "ship" movie with Kevin Costner turn out?? I never heard much out of it but I dont follow movies...(I dont have cable tv either, lol)...but that one loked like it had flop written all over it..what was it called? Waterworld?? Sounds like a bad amusement park.
