A must see for curious "sequelers" otherwise save your $$$

Rating: 5/10 (30 October 2007)

After looking forward to the sequel of "Elizabeth", I was very disappointed with this film. The script left us with a weak, fearful queen. She seemed to spend a disproportional amount of time wringing her hands and whining about personal issues.
So very hard to believe a woman who was incredibly ahead of her time and utterly successful would doubt herself as depicted.
I also felt the musical score was over dramatic and too noticeable.
I did enjoy the sets and costumes. The gowns, jewelry, fabrics were all exquisite, as in "Elizabeth".
Whatever the cause....direction,script,editing ??...the film left me less than entertained and feeling sorry for Cate. Her work in the first film was awesome!
Oh, well history geeks will have to see "Golden Age" ...I don't think we'll be buying the DVD though..
