Master and Commander - bortom världens ände

Lite ostrukturerad handling sänker betyget. Skådisarna är bra, särskilt Crowe och Bettany. Stämningen på skeppet skildras väldigt bra och realistiskt, likaså sjöslagen. Lite seg dock. Sliskigast - Crowes hästsvans

En medelklassig film.
Jag tycker att Crowe och Bettany gör väl godända insatser men att filmen någonstans dör.
Det finns inte nog med händelser eller spänning som får en att verkligen hålla sig intresserad.
Denna film får ett medel betyg helt enkelt.
Men den tredje "poängen" står Bettany Själv för.
(utan honom, en svag tvåa)

En av de bästa filmer jag sett. Tycker om den här typen av filmer och Russel Crowe är så snyggt bra. Paul Bettany är så snygg och "stark" i sig själv så man dör. Filmen kan vara lite lång men tycker man om den här typen av film så gör det absolut ingenting, då är den super, vilket jag också tycker.

Underhållande film som dock har mer potential

Jag fastnade liksom aldrig i handlingen. Den fortsatte mest utan mig. Det var väl inte dålig egentligen men inte alls i min smak. Alldeles för kall och tråkig.

helt okej film med fina miljöer

Ett hyffsat äventyr. Känns lite tamt tycker jag och handlingen blir lite seg med två timmar speltid. Men den får en trea trots allt.

En - 4 får den både som film & i sin egen genre.

Tagline: The Courage To Do The Impossible Lies In The Hearts of Men.

En spännande film som är ett riktigt matinéäventyr. Det är ngt odefinierbart som saknas, men filmen är välgjord. Hamnar klart i DVD-samlingen för en lite billigare peng. Bygger på två (!) noveller*.

Trivia: Peter Weir shot footage of an actual typhoon specifically to be used during the movie. / 20th Century Fox bought The Rose, the ship which doubles up as HMS Surprise in the film, for $1.5 million. / Two historical advisors were on set at all times. / The miniatures of the Surprise and the Acheron were built by WETA workshops in New Zealand who then spent five weeks filming them in action. / Ralph Fiennes was considered for the part of Dr. Maturin. / Russell Crowe parked his participation in Cinderella Man (2005) to make this film. By the time he returned to the boxing project, it had lost its original director, Lasse Hallström, who was subsequently replaced by Ron Howard. / Russell Crowe broke from the production midway through to fly to London for the funeral of his friend and Gladiator (2000) co-star Richard Harris. / After filming, the HMS Surprise was purchased by the San Diego Maritime Museum for an undisclosed sum, and with the proviso that the ship be loaned back to 20th Century Fox for any future film productions. / Although the book is set in 1812, the film is set 7 years earlier. This afforded the writers the chance to make the enemy of the piece not the United States but France, England at the time having declared war against Napoleon. / The first movie to ever film on the Galapagos Islands. / Shooting took up nearly 100 days at the Baja studios in Mexico, as well as 10 days at sea. / 'Russell Crowe (I)' did most of the violin playing on camera. 'Russell Crowe (I)' learned to play violin for the film and referred to it as the hardest thing he'd ever done for a film. / Over 90% of the film takes place on water. / 'Russell Crowe (I)' had the crew of his ship play rugby together while they were not filming so they could bond and better work as a team. / Paul Bettany (Dr. Maturin) was one of the only actors who did not get seasick during filming. This was because he was a member of Sea Cadets when he was a kid. / *The movie combines two novels - "Master and Commander" and "The Far Side of the World". Both deal with chasing down a privateer, and the movie combines the long chase of the latter with the furious climactic battle of the former. / Heath Ledger was in talks to join the film, presumably to play the part later taken by Paul Bettany. / The original HMS Rose (the replica of which became the HMS Surprise for the film) was actually a French ship, captured by the British in 1757. When she was in dry dock in Hull, England, she was modified along British lines and saw action under the British during the American Revolution. She was scuttled in 1779. The replica, based on the same plans as the original which were housed at the Admiralty in Whitehall, London, was built in Nova Scotia in 1970 by Rhode Island historian John Fitzhugh Millar. It was the only remaining working frigate in the world when Peter Weir came across it at a maritime festival. When he learned that it was for sale, Weir concluded that he was fated to make "Master and Commander" after all, a project he had previously turned down.

Gillade den här filmen. Men kanske lite seg ibland vilket ger den en svag 4:a

Sevärd film. Den hade fina actionscener, men jag skulle ändå inte se om den.
