M&C isn't really an "action" film. It's more a slow burn, filled with detail, take you back in time kind of adventure. Which suited me perfectly.I should also say that I'm a long-time fan of the books the film is based on, and I was quite pleased with Weir's and John Collee's (screenwriter) take on the Aubrey/Maturin series. (Which, BTW, doesn't adapt any one book.)
I think the marketing for the film promised a big actioner, Gladiator-on-the-sea kind of blockbuster, which it is not.
Salon.com and David Poland's Hot Button had the best reviews of the movie.
