Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Director Roger Donaldson (Thirteen Days) has breathed vibrant new life into the classic story of the mutiny on the Bounty. With a dream cast--Mel Gibson, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Sir Laurence Olivier, Liam Neeson, and Daniel Day-Lewis--and a script by Robert Bolt (Doctor Zhivago, Lawrence of Arabia), The Bounty takes a revisionist tack through the well-charted waters of an oft-told tale. Hopkins's Captain Bligh is no raving sadist in the Charles Laughton mode. (Laughton played Bligh in the first Mutiny on the Bounty, 1935.) Instead, Sir Anthony plays Bligh as a hard-nosed imperialist explorer simply trying to get the job done in the time-honored manner: on the backs of the poor gobs under his command. Still, when Bligh's suppressed powder keg of rage finally blows, Hopkins is formidable indeed. Mel Gibson gives one of the most soulful performances of his career as mutiny leader Fletcher Christian. He's also at the height of his blue-eyed, buff good looks, and his romance with Tahitian maiden Mauatua (lovely Tevaite Vernette) is decidedly erotic. Liam Neeson is a veritable force of nature as the scrappy seaman Charles Churchill, and Daniel Day-Lewis is sublimely hateful as Master John Fryer, a pompous toady. With special effects to rival those of The Perfect Storm, the alluring eye candy of a tall-masted schooner under full sail, lush tropical greenery, and bevies of bodacious South Sea Islands babes, plus a gripping story line, The Bounty deserves a rescue from undeserved obscurity. --Laura Mirsky

I liked this movie alot, up until the crew gets to the island. I was not prepared for the excessive nudity, and it was offensive. The nudity was upper body of island females. It was done to be authentic to the time and place, and perhaps the islanders really lived that way. So, if nudity doesn't bother you in this context, then you would probably enjoy this movie. If you find nudity in movies as inappropriate as my family does, then I would not purchase this movie.

The premise of this Australian film is to purpose an historically more accurate and plausible explanation for the famed "mutiny on HMAV (His Majesty's Armed Vessel) Bounty." That proposal is that Captain (actually "Lieutenant") Bligh (Anthony Hopkins) was a working class stiff trying to be upward mobil and had basically a working class mouth -- i. e. he was too verbally abusive, not the fictional physical sadist that Charles Laughton portrayed in the 1930s classic.

The 1935 black & White version of "Mutiny on the bounty" may have won an oscar for Best Picture at the time, but will likely strike modern viewers as dated and unrealistic. Marlon Brando's 1962 remake is the most epic, captivating and compelling version even though it failed at the box office when first released; indeed the '62 version is a masterpiece (see my Amazon review). But Mel Gibson's 1984 version, simply called
"The Bounty," is without doubt the most historically accurate and realistic ... Read More

Awesome movie, just a pity there wasn't time to cover the pitcairn story and also more on Bligh's boat journey to timor.

If u love this movie, like I do, forget this region 1 edition and go for the UK region 0 disc. The UK disc has two exclusive commentaries and lots of extras not found on the US disc. It, the UK disc, is also NTSC (the US television system) so is perfect for US customers.
