Ouch

Rating: 4/10 (14 June 2015)

A single woman is adored by idiot film-makers.
Poor romantic propaganda - and then we have to put up with Clive Owen too. Curses! And I have yet to see a good recreation of the Spanish Armada.
This story is stuffed with Anglo bolloxology and completely fails to get to the heart of an amazing person. Blanchett plays the role well, but Elizabeth was a swat and a bitch + none of the humour of her privileged life comes across.
Plus Burghley was the major influence on her life, not the totalitarian Walsingham. I'm getting too specific. But Clive Owen? Pshaw!
