I thought Crowe was OK, not a perfect type cast, but acceptable. And he did well in the role. But Paul Bettany???? You've got to be joking! Stephen is small, dark, unkempt and unlovely.
Overall, I enjoyed the film, even though it was a mashup of the books. And it did get conditions on an English Man-o-war closer to reality. Though to really get them, you'd need smellovision.
