Not sure why there's so many terrible reviews. I thought it was a very good movie... Not great, but very good. I confess, I've never read Moby Dick, but after watching the movie, I put the book as my next "purchase" on Amazon. One negative I will say though... I thought Hemsworth's accent was TERRIBLE!! I couldn't figure out for the life of me which country he was from. His accent changed each and every scene. One scene, he sounds American... Next, he sounds like he has some British in his accent... Next, he sounds Australian. I'm not sure why people haven't been discussing this so much. I've read only 3 reviews on here which mentioned it. Other than that, LOVED the movie.
And by the way, I am a HUGE fan of Chris Hemsworth (or is it Liam? Lol I never remember. Whomever Thor is ha). This is the only film I didn't like of his. Rush, in my opinion, was his finest performance.
