- Critics' reviews
-
-
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.
-
"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"
-
"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"
-
"A spectacularly sustained piece of epic filmmaking"
