    Master and Commander. It was such a great adaptation of a hugely popular series, I expected it to do better at the box office than it did.

      I would have loved a sequel, too. That movie would probably have done better if it had not have to compete to The Return of the King that year.

      It was a great try, visually stunning and true to the overall feel of the book, but it didn’t have a very cohesive story. They tried to cover too much ground. It would have been better if they had just stuck to the first book.
