Could be better

Rating: 5/10 (2 January 2008)

Well, the story is interesting and Cate Blanchett play her role very good, but the story is stretched and at the end when Spain attacks with its armada is quickly finishes end the attack scene is really short.
They could have made this a spectacular movie, nice story, great costumes. But after the first 45 minutes it get boring and you ask yourself why. Then towards the end i hoped to see a great battle at sea, but it didn't happen.
The movie is watchable but don't expect too much.
It might be wiser to rent this one on DVD instead of going to the movies.
