80A lavish, exciting, well-acted and admirably thorough movie adaptation of Herman Melville's 1851 classic.
-
80The glory of this particular adaptation, intentional or not, is that what we bring to it with today's sensibilities can actually enhance the experience.

75Dopey? Yes. But the action scenes are terrifically exciting and very well done, and Hawke does his damndest to survive the overacting of Hurt and the underacting of Cox, who is so wooden he should be the one hobbling around on that wooden stump.
-
60The action will hold your attention, though Moby Dick is really more a drama of character and flaws and faith. At times, in fact, it lapses into melodrama.
