Blobbo X @Blobbo Mar 20 Pretty good old adventure film. Easier watch than read book.

Peck was unfortunately too young for the part (not awful but he's clearly trying too hard) which is noticeably distracting. See more Blu B @RT43513976 03/18/2025 A Classic Adventure flick and the best film adaptation of the classic novel. Cinematogrpahy is excellent. The location, color, costumes are all really good with great direction by Huston. The classical golden era way this is done also really helps given this is a 1800's novel. Something that it feels like all other adaptations on film miss. The special effects are really clean too. Minitures, stock footage, on location effects are all so cleanly edited especially in the end too. The fact most of this is actually on a ship too in the ocean really brings this to life and gives something tangible that a lot of others miss with majority sound stage and green screen. Everything else is really good. Peck is phenominal in this. Easily one of his best performances of his career. If there is one area where this struggles slightly is once they are in pursuit it feels like chracter development moments in the novel are missing. It's there but you can tell the main focus is Peck and everything else is secondary. Given how large the novel is I don't know how'd you'd really fix that for a movie. The 98' mini series is better served for that and arguably better apples to oranges. It's pretty cool too how despite the english being old time I can still understand pretty much 90-95% of what there saying and where I can't the visuals on screen make up for it. It's a great tale and still delivers the message of revenge can destroy others around you as much as you. Anyone who is a fan of the novel, any actors in this, Huston, movies on ships, or adventures should check this out. See more Read all reviews
