Product: Moby Dick [VHS] (1998)
Rating: 4.0
Not bad at all but...
Patrick Stewart did play a great Captian Ahab, almost 'but not quiet like' Gregory Peck in the original, but did show more of a Fatherly and compationate side in this making...However much was cut out in this Hallmark remark which surprised Me being Hallmark puts out some terrific movies, The Oddyesy, Jason and the Argonaughts, Cleopatra, Arabian Nights etc...I did give it 4 stars however because the creaters of this version were tastful enough to give Gregory Peck a guest appearance as Father Mapple which He did this role just as stern and feirce and hard as when He played Captain Ahab in the orriginal... which was perfect!Still though, it is worth getting this movie, as I stated, Patrick Stewart does an excellent job saving the movie and also brings out a differant side of Ahab with out ruining it, just more less enhancing a side We havent seen so to speak, because He is still hard and sea-battered tough at times just like Gregory Peck was in the original when the part called for it...Enjoy!
