Truly Dreadful Film

Brilliant and touching

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

This was a very bad remake of an amazing film. The acting was good but the script was hugely long with none of the wonderful suspense and effects of the original film. Essentially the entire book/movie was re-written as an entirely different story. It lacked everything that was amazing about the original film including the small nuances such as the seagulls, the prophesy and the way it came to pass or the way the coffin was carved. It held my interest for the first installment but I was disappointed with myself for watching the whole thing.

Stiff acting!! CGI whale looks more fake than the puppet model in the Huston version. Starbuck had a modern California accent, and he came across like he was bored and couldn't wait to say his lines, and get out of there. Richard Baseheart was a far far far better actor then that baby faced kid playing "Ishmael" Patrick Stewart did NOT play a convincing role as Ahab...it was just Stewart playing Stewart. Gregory Peck actually was Ahab in the earlier version. Even little Pip was better portrayed i the Huston version then this bomb. In fact the entire cast seemed to be bored and just wanted to get it over with. Many of the others did also.

What an awful film. Geez. I watched this in a film class and just plain hated it. As I watched this I couldn't help but think what Franc Roddam and Anton Diether thinking. I usually don't base a film on one specific thing and I didn't with this. The visual effects were terrible, the acting terrible and the story was nothing as the classic book or '56 adaption. Even Patrick Stewart couldn't bring the film out of the huge hole it dug . Everything for a bad film is used in this mini-series and it really shouldn't be seen by anyone. Nothing is explained and nothing really happens except a bunch of guys talking about a whale.Moby Dick. Starring: Patrick Stewart, Henry Thomas, Piripi Waretini, and Bruce Spence. 1 out of 5 Stars.

"Moby Dick" was one of the most boring books ever written. Of course, this is my own opinion, but I think I speak for most young teens out there. The story is OK, in my opinion, but too much detail makes it seem drawn out. However, I decided to sit down and watch this (just out of curiosity). It began a bit slowly. I enjoyed the acting of Henry Thomas and the feel of the movie. As it progressed, I found myself so enthralled that I didn't pause it until I absolutely had to. The end of the movie was very sad and the acting rocked! Some people I have talked to about this movie thought the whole story was pointless in itself. "A bunch of men led by a deranged captain hunt down an albino whale and get themselves killed.. Where's the point in that?" But for me, it was more the meaning of it all. Its all about obsession and power. Ahab cared more about killing some stupid whale than saving his own crew. I think this movie did a great job in depicting the finer points of "Moby Dick". I can see how some might think this is movie is a bit boring, but if you understand what the story is really about, I think anyone'd enjoy this movie (despite its length.. heh).
