Elizabeth The Golden Age

Rating: 5/10 (15 October 2007)

Disappointing to say the least. Certainly not worth the 7.8 stars it was given. It was fluff with no substance. The story was too choppy. Although, there were a couple of times I felt Elizabeth's anguish most the time the emotion is cut off and the viewer is left dangling. It is not the fault of the cast. The story or direction was not up to the caliber of these actors. But alas, I love period pieces and the costuming was well worth the viewing of this movie. Thus the 5 stars. I would recommend seeing it if nothing more than Elizabeth's costumes. I'm sure Ms.Blanchet earned her salary by having to carry around the weight of her wardrobe.
