Historical drama

Rating: 4/10 (8 June 2007)

By far the worst movie i have seen with such a good cast. Blanchett gives the movie an acceptable look-a-like queen. Costumes and scenery are good. But what a dramatic story-developing. The whole movie develops around the idea that sexuality was the only thing that really counted in the life of Elizabeth. Unnecessary sex-scenes, modern-day views and biases and too many scenery and overviews shots slow down the movie and make it hard to watch. Fantasy is one thing, good film-making another. But if you don't have any of them in a movie... If this movie won anything it will have been only because of its political correct hidden agenda and the even worse other movies of this year. Dramatically bad and historically doubtful.
