Yay! I finally got to see the movie. And just in the nick of time, too! I saw it Dec. 23 and on by Dec. 26 it was no longer playing in any of the theatres where I was staying.<br>
<br>
Anyway, I really enjoyed it, more than the people who were with me, I'm afraid. But they weren't Patrick O'Brian readers.<br>
I found Stephen's character in the novels quite a bit more eccentric than in the movie. Though Aubrey and Maturin weren't portrayed quite as I imagined them, they were still sympathetic and interesting enough that I maintained my affection for them throughout the movie.<br>
