Great ship adventures, but Mutiny is tops.

**VAGUE SPOILERS** Both movies would be 9 or 10/10 stars for me if it weren't for their mediocre endings. Mutiny on the Bounty's ending is way too rushed and convenient compared to the book (whose ending is a HUNDRED times better than the movie). Captains Courageous's last twenty minutes feel like they go back on all the character development that the boy had been gaining. The one way I can interpret this is to show the kid is still a kid, and still not ready to deal with real-life issues without still being spoiled. I feel like there's a better explanation to CC's ending than MotB's, so Captains Courageous for me.
