Not history but worth watching

Rating: Null/10 (18 December 2001)

It amazes me that people continue to say this film is historically accurate. You could count the real facts on the fingers of one hand! Even the Goofs are wrong in this respect. But who looks to Hollywood for an accurate history lesson? The film is good fun though and suggests a valid reason for Elizabeth's adoption of the role of the Virgin Queen. The costumes and sets are great too.
