THE BOUNTY is a well-made adventure based on the disastrous voyage of the HMS Bounty, starring Mel Gibson as the rebellious crew leader Fletcher Christian and Anthony Hopkins as the stern Captain Bligh. Although the story was filmed twice before, this revisionist version of the mutinous tale offers new insight into the characters, particularly through its depiction and exoneration of Bligh. In this film, he is seen as a professional seaman who maintains an appropriate level of discipline, rather than an outrageous tyrant. Under Bligh's autocratic rule, the Bounty begins an ill-timed voyage around Cape Horn. The crew approach a breaking point, and Christian leads them in revolt. But Christian fails to grasp the dire consequences that await them all. Roger Donaldson's movie features a remarkable cast that includes Gibson, Hopkins, Laurence Olivier, Liam Neeson, Daniel Day-Lewis, Edward Fox, and Bernard Hill.

User Reviews: The Bounty (1984)

  • Overall:

    High Drama on the high seas...

    A thorough probing into the eruption of the mutiny aboard the HMS Bounty. The film keeps you on the dge of your seat, wondering when the men aboard the ship will strike back at their tyrannical commander. Great energy from Gibson and Hopkins.

    The Third Time is the Charm!

    There were three movie presentations of the famous mutiny on the Bounty and this one is definitely the best of the three. The scenery is good, and the action is more realistic and dramatic. It is also the only film in which the viewpoint of Captain ...Bligh is presented in an organized fashion and the only version in which his heroic journey back to England is covered in some detail. The flogging scene is also the most realistic. Read more Less
