Disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (23 March 2008)

Absolutely nothing wrong with the production, cinematography, editing etc., it was the screenplay. This was a very exciting and enthralling period of British history, and particularly Elizabeth herself.
Those dedicated historians amongst us should be horrified actually. As it underplayed the extent of the drama and trauma Elizabeth put up with.
I don't know how the Roman Catholic church could be annoyed about this film, I reckon the filmmakers under played the intrigue etc., from the Roman Catholic church and the Spanish Royalty and RC sympathizers in England at that period of time. They were and it was much worse.
Disappointing personally. But if you are not a historian student for this period of history, who really doesn't know exactly what went on then, you most probably enjoyed it.
