Adventure
The familiar story of Lieutenant Bligh, whose cruelty leads to a mutiny on his ship. This version follows both the efforts of Fletcher Christian to get his men beyond the reach of British retribution, and the epic voyage of Lieutenant Bligh to get his loyalists safely to East Timor in a tiny lifeboat.

United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "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 |
United States | The New Yorker | this misshapen movie doesn't work as an epic -- it doesn't have the scope or the emotional surge of epic storytelling. It's certainly not boring, though. | NEU |
United States | Variety | "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 |
United States | The New York Times | "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 |
Canada | The Globe and Mail | "A spectacularly sustained piece of epic filmmaking" | POS |
