Very good, but better if you haven't read the books.
This movie is very loosely adapted from a pair of Patrick O'Brien novels, and therein lay the problem for me. As a fan of O'Brien's twenty-volume series of Aubrey-Maturin novels, I found the changes made to the major characters for the sake of making an entertaining stand-alone film jarring. If you can get past that, however, or haven't read the books, this is a very enjoyable movie, especially if you're interested in the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars. It's quite historically accurate for a movie, the plot is gripping and the battle scenes are vivid. So mix yourself up a mug of bosun's grog (1 part 109-proof rum, 3 parts water, add lemon juice and sugar to taste) and pull up a sea chest—it's great way to pass a long winter evening.

A Classic.
Not only is this movie very funny, it's uncharacteristically accurate (for Hollywood) in both how the trial process works in the United States—it's actually screened in law schools—and automotive trivia. Highly recommended for today's youts.
