    A masterpiece of cinematic presentation. Not only well shot but extremely well acted with the all-time icon Brando and legendary actor Richard Harris. Old-school filmmaking at its best. A great movie to watch on a snowy January Sunday with a cup of tea.

    This movie was interesting and very impressive since it was made in 1962. Brando plays an excellent role and I really liked the movie. The only problem is that the movie is 3 hours long and the mutiny is only done about 2 hours in. I also thought that they could of done more with...( read more) the end but hey! what do I know. All and all good movie.

    "Midshipman Edward 'Ned' Young: Fletcher, I'm proud to be with you.
    Fletcher Christian: Well you've done rather well, Ned. Promoted to the rank of criminal. Not even 20 and a death sentence on your head."

    Many have criticized Brando's portrayal of Christian, and I simply do not ...( read more)understand this.
    Did we see the same film?
    This is one of his best performance.
    But also Trevor Howard is terrific playing the role of the Capt. William Bligh.

    The story is beautiful.
    After the hardship of a horrendous voyage to the island, the romance and humor of the Tahitian sequence was a welcome relief.
    It's a long movie but you'll never have the sensation of being sit on your couch.

    Watching this is pure pleasure. Marlon Brando and Trevor Howard are fantastic. It's very nicely shot and done. A classic that isn't likely to sink in the grades.
