"This 'Bounty' is not only a wonderful movie, high-spirited and intelligent, but something of a production triumph as well (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"  POS

"The Bounty is an intelligent, firstrate, revisionist telling of the famous tale of Fletcher Christian's mutiny against Captain Bligh. Particularly distinguished by a sensational, and startlingly human, performance by Anthony Hopkins" POS

"The movie seems to have been planned, written, acted, shot and edited by people who were constantly being overruled by other people. It's totally lifeless" NEU
