Russell Crowe’s perfect response to a critic who brazenly bashed his movie

Russell Crowe has passionately responded to a critic who bashed his 2003 movie Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World.

Russell Crowe offered up a hilarious response to a person on Twitter bashing one of his movies.

“Lots of folk complaining about lack of sleep during the Pandemic. May I recommend Master And Commander starring the usually captivating, attention-grabbing Russell Crowe. I’ve never made it past the ten-minute mark. You’re welcome. And thanks Russell,” the Twitter user wrote.

They even went as far as to tag Crowe in the post - and he hit back this week.

“That’s the problem with kids these days. No focus. Peter Weir’s film is brilliant. An exacting, detail-oriented, epic tale of fidelity to Empire & service, regardless of the cost. Incredible cinematography by Russell Boyd & a majestic soundtrack. Definitely an adults movie,” the actor wrote.

The film is set in 1805, with the Aubrey’s crew tasked with hunting down and capturing a powerful French vessel.

Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse director Peter Ramsey also weighed in on the matter, writing, “That guy’s a f***ing idiot, Russell. Peter Weir is a god, the movie’s amazing and you’re amazing in it. Thank you.”

The film was met with rave reviews upon its release, with Variety writing: “Rare proof that a gigantic production in contemporary Hollywood can possess a distinctive personality, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World proves as bracing as a stiff wind on the open sea. Peter Weir’s physically imposing epic is thoroughly satisfying as an atypical adventure tale studded with unusual detailing.”
