Laughton is fantastic and Gable is good. I enjoyed the story for the most part, but it dragged during the island section and seemed somewhat directionless at times. But it's a very fun and enjoyable movie, due mainly to Laughton's great performance. Also, the movie is very good technically. Directing this large cast on a real ship in real water must have been quite a challenge, but Lloyd pulls it off beautifully.

The middle on the island seems unnecessary, as it simply extends the wait for the inevitable mutiny, but everything before and after is wonderful. Laughton and Gable are really good in their parts, and both the lead up and after effects of the mutiny are exciting and suspenseful.

The definitive film version of the story. Although somewhat abridged compared to the 3-hour epic from 1962 - Clark Gable makes a much more believable Fletcher Christian than Marlon Brando.

Laughton is great.

Laughton's Bligh is an indelible performance, the mold in which all subsequent cinematic dickhead hard-asses is set.

Laughton is fantastic and Gable is just as entertaining as he normally is in this very solid Best Picture winner from the 30s. Definitely worth seeing.

A classic that still holds up well. Laughton is great.

I wouldn't call this a great movie, but it's pretty good. My understanding is that it's a rather inaccurate portrayal of the true events, but that's not very important to me. Laughton, Gable, and Tone are all very watchable. If the characters aren't the most well-rounded, at least they're not entirely one-dimensional. I can't think of anything noteworthy that irked me, maybe a couple of the comic moments. It's a fun film that rarely gets dull, and has some decent camerawork as well.

"The performances by Gable and Tone hold up as fine star and character turns, respectively, but it's Laughton's Bligh that proves unforgettable."

Charles Laughton's is the best performance of Bligh committed to film that I've seen.

What bothers me about this movie is how it presents Bligh as a tyrant and Christian as a hero, when in fact Bligh was an honorable man and Christian was a greedy bastard. It bothers me not because of the inaccuracy itself, but because it is the easier of the two possible stories to tell, and I think the other -- featuring Bligh as a heroic character -- could potentially have been more interesting. But all of that aside, this is a good movie.

Not quite sure when it should end, but, otherwise, a fairly decent movie

There's just something very wrong when the "hero" of a movie is the leader of a press gang

Excellent classic.

Laughton is great. And Gable is good too.

One of the great adventure movies of all time. Laughton's award-winning performance as the infamous Captain Bligh is worth canceling all plans, and staying home to watch.

Maybe not entirely accurate, historically, but a damn good yarn, and Laughton is perfect.

Weird.

Rollicking good adventure that reminds you of how silly the british are/were!
