Just saw this today, and it just wasn't that gripping. If you've seen the trailer, you've seen the film.

I'm giving it 7 out of 10 stars because it was well-executed and risky.

Now I will simply repeat my point in order to have enough lines in the review to be posted.

I was expecting a thoroughly enjoyable film, and am sorry to say it is not even marginally enjoyable. What is all the hubbub about? Nothing about this movie charmed me.

This is easily one of the best films made in the past ten years. The human story is so compelling, noble, and deep, that you will wonder how anyone can make the junk they do today.

Cinematically, it is unparalleled. There may be a few films that are just as good, but none that are better.

Crowe is at his best here. I am not particularly a fan of him (nor a detractor), but in this role he towers as a great captain, man, and actor.

This will be a favorite of mine for years, and is destined to become one of the classics of all time. You just don't see movies like this made -- you're lucky if you get one every two to three years.

It ought to be re-released every ten years or so on the big screen. Everyone needs to know about this film. It stirs the senses and the soul, the mind and the heart. Simply stunning.
