      Audience Member One of the best british naval movies of all time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I just rewatched this series. Great attention to detail and wonderful portrayal by all cat members. A hidden treasure. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member The acting was a bit weak and the ending was anti-climatic. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Yiryiryir Hornblower all the way! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It might be made for TV, but I like it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic film...the first of the A&E Horatio Hornblower series. I've read all of the books, and I think that A&E really captured the essence of this story and of the main character, Horatio Hornblower! He gets seasick, he is a hero because he worries about how he would view himself is he did not volunteer or complete orders given to him, etc. You will also love Robert Lindsey as Capt. Pelleum (sp?). Fantastic! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
