I love movies that make you think, but not because of the "relationship." Movies with a twist and all that stuff are my favorites.

It's a different kind of movie. Anyone can like it, but only a few can really enjoy it. And if u don't like the story, remember, it's based on a book (actually a series of books)
Actually, my friend's dad read all the books before he saw the movie, and he said that the story itself was nothing like the movie version.
I love M&C... Loved it the first time I saw it. I don't understand people who don't like it.

I don't know what Myth is getting so worked up about. An 18 pounder gun at high elevation had an effective range of a mile- and that shooting at the start was at far less than a mile. There is only a small amount of dramatic license in that fight.
Those cannons were highly inaccurate. They seriously couldn't shoot accurately for more than a couple hundred feet. I know it wasn't a full mile, but it was definitely out of the accuracy range for what those things did back in those days. Hell, even the old shitty pirate movies were better about having cannon balls miss and hit the water.
Originally posted by Stormy Dayi really thought it would be more about the captain and his crew instead as you said its was w/ the doctor, what would have worked is to see if he died or something...... also the ending really didnt work for me........ it seemed like a sequel type ending yet i know they wont make one, the end really was like.... oh come on.... i deserve to see them catch up to the other ship and to see them blow it to shreds
If you couldnt find the relationship between the Captain and Doctor interesting then thats really all of what there is to the movie.So that why you didnt like it 😉
