Peter Weir's 2003 Napoleonic naval epic, based on the Aubrey/Maturin books by Patrick O'brien and starring a post-Gladiator Russel Crowe alongside a PRE-MCU Paul Bettany.

And, like the books, I found this to be quite slow and heavy going: nice visuals, definitely, and some tense moments, but the connective 'tissue' very drawn out and just, well, boring.

Hornblower this isn't.

Your mileage may vary on whether that is a good thing or not.
