A thrilling movie

Rating: Null/10 (3 August 1999)

This movie captured the time period wonderfully. The scenery and costumes were magnificent, as was Cate Blanchett's performance as Queen Elizabeth I. She wonderfully transformed Elizabeth from a naive, playful girl into the no-nonsense but fair queen who ruled England with an iron hand. Maybe this movie didn't use history all that well, but is certainly worth watching.
