A must buy for all fans of Hopkins and Gibson.
Review of The Bounty (Wide Screen) by Cooky87

Advantages: Brilliant acting from both Hopkins and Gibson, Amazing score.
Disadvantages: Only slight con is the questionable west coast accent from Hopkins.

...and bloodshed" That was the quote i read on the front of the box when i bought this DVD thinking to myself "hmm this seems alright, if it isn't at least its cheap at £5.99" The third incarnation of the same story, "The bounty" tells the story of the ill fated voyage of the HMS Bounty, and the men who sailed her. The story focuses on two men, Lieutenant William Bligh (Captain of the Bounty, played by Anthony Hopkins) and Fletcher Christian (Master's ...

DVD Description

THE BOUNTY is a well-made adventure based on the disastrous voyage of the HMS Bounty, starring Mel Gibson as the rebellious crew leader Fletcher Christian and Anthony Hopkins as the stern Captain Bligh. Although the story was filmed twice before, this revisionist version of the mutinous tale offers new insight into the characters, particularly through its depiction and exoneration of Bligh. In this film, he is seen as a professional seaman who maintains an appropriate level of discipline, rather than an outrageous tyrant. Under Bligh's autocratic rule, the Bounty begins an ill-timed voyage around Cape Horn. The crew approach a breaking point, and Christian leads them in revolt. But Christian fails to grasp the dire consequences that await them all. Roger Donaldson's movie features a remarkable cast that includes Gibson, Hopkins, Laurence Olivier, Liam Neeson, Daniel Day-Lewis, Edward Fox, and Bernard Hill.
