 | Chris Columbus "get's it on" with Catherine Zeta Jones aboard his ship, charms Queen Rachel Ward, and finds himself threatened by swords, sabotage, sharks, storms, a scowling Selleck, and a very scary Brando. I loved every minute of it. The Discovery isn't a dry history lesson, but it is a damn good time. |
| Rating | | | Date | May 06, 2005 | | Summary | This movie could've been better. | Content
| The only reason I watched this movie was because Marlon Brando was in it. Unfortunately, the overall look of this movie has the feel of Made For Cable Movie of the Week. You'll see what I mean when you compare this to Mutiny On The Bounty or Pirates Of The Carribean. Both are better movies than this one. For Brando completists only. |
| Rating | | | Date | December 08, 2004 | | Summary | old fashioned high spirited adventure | Content
| If this had only been made a few decades earlier it would have surely been a classic. This is a fine swashbuckling adventure that I've found myself watching time and again when I wanted an old fashioned adventure on the high seas. If you love the Crimson Pirate and Captain Blood then you should give this a look. I hope it's released on DVD one of these days. |

| Since Brando's passing I've been watching many of his films and I just watched the much maligned Christopher Columbus which I'd read nothing but bad press about. I wasnt expecting very much but to my surprise this a GREAT film. Perhaps there's too much swash and not enough buckle for some but in my book it's just the right combination of adventure, history, romance, and legend.
SUPERB! |

| This is a classic. Dramatic and entertaining. The cast includes Marlon Brando and the rest of the cast do an excellent job. The acting, the sets, and the story are superbly done. The movie is very accurate historically.
This movie is truly legendary. What I can't stand is people criticizing it for reasons that are not true. If you are going to criticize a movie, at least get your facts straight. Surely this is one of the greatest movies ever made about Christopher Columbus, like a fine wine it seems to get better with age. I look forward to watching it every year during Columbus day.
