a quite good sequel.

Rating: 7/10 (14 December 2007)

I am a huge fan of the first one, and of course, i'm also a huge fan of Cate BLANCHETT. I was so terrified, when i heard Americans critics said that this movie was a disaster. It's not my opinion, i think it's a good sequel, which follows the history not so bad at all, we find again betrayal and conspiracy against the Queen, and it is a portrait of a woman torn apart her fragility and her authority. Geoffrey RUSH, reprise his part as well as, he was in the previous film. Clive OWEN, a newcomer in this adventure, is very seductive, Samantha MORTON, plays an heartbreaking "Queen of Scots" and Abbie CORNISH is pretty good in her character too. This picture is perhaps less interesting than the first one, but it's a good movie, it's real cinema. Sometimes, i don't understand American people. I'm European, i think differently than you.
