Rating:  - Hornblower was not a defiant jerk....
As a Hornblower fan for many decades, I am very disappointed in this movie. Ioan Gruffud portrays a Hornblower who is almost a modern high school delinquent - the kind who walks in front of your car when you drive near a public HS to show he is "cool" or a "big man". Whereas this may appeal to someone who sports a "Question Authority" sticker, it is not the Hornblower I know. Overall, it seems that the movies did not do too well with one of the greatest heroes of fiction - but at least Gregory Peck's Hornblower was decent - this one is not quite the material from which a Commodore Hornblower is made... The kind of person portrayed by Gruffud is, above all, childish (as we all know, "cool" is the same as "cute"). Perhaps the other ones with this Ioan Gruffud are better, but these two are bad enough that they keep me from buying the others.
Rating:  - I'm a fan but I'm also sorry.......................
Soy una fanatica de la serie de HH, este capitulo del Motin me encantó, el problema es realmente serio para un joven marino como HH pero, como siempre sabe salir del problema con altura. Se me hizo muy dificil entender con máxima claridad todo lo que ocurre, mi inglés es bueno, pero no tanto. Porque no los subtitulan aunque sea en inglés? No es posible hacerlo? Tambien compre Loyalty and Duty, pero aun no los he visto. Tendré el mismo problema. Una pena.
Rating:  - A Hornblower fan is disappointed...
I love all the Hornblower movies that I've seen, and I'm sure these two are good as well, but I can't tell you for sure because they both don't have closed captioning! Or subtitles for that matter. Why would A&E close-caption the first four and the last two movies, and not these two? I'm disappointed. Hopefully they'll realize their mistake and rectify it soon...I'll buy all of the movies as soon as they do!
Rating: - Great films, not a great collection
Unless these are the last two films in the series you haven't seen, you would really do better to buy one of the other Hornblower box sets, such as "Horatio Hornblower - The Complete Adventures." This box set was put out in 1998 and is fairly dated compared to the other ones.
Rating: - The best gets better
This follow on to the earlier efforts of A&E are actually an improvement where few thought that possible. The widescreen format and the quality of the filming are superb. Forrester's work is excellently adopted to the big screen. With a large screen televison and surround sound this ranks as an all time favorite.
