Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003)

Enjoyed it, although it slows down quite a bit in some parts. Does a great job of showing the before and after of ocean battles, not just the action sequences like some movies. Since there wasn't a pirate theme to the movie, more time was spent on plot and character development than on looting and greasy sailors saying arghhh.

Surprisingly violent for a PG-13 movie, but I think they were given some lenience by a Peter Weir friendly MPAA. They tend to bend the rules for popular directors.

Rating: B-
