Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2006)

This is a great film! Cate Blancett is one of my favorites on the screen. She gives Elizabeth a soul. I was really mad when Cate didn't get an Oscar for her performance. It was interesting to get a glimps of the queen's life. Her fears, her strenght, her fight for her believes. How the men try'd to control her and how she fought back. How she got her heart broken and became the "Virgin Queen". The cast of the movie is good. They have found a group of people who complimate each other in a good way. Geoffrey Rush plays Walsingham to the fullest, Christopher Eccleston is great as Norfolk and you get a few laughter from Vincent Cassel. Shekhar Kapur get all my love for making this movie. And I'm glad his going to make one more.
