my bitches wear collars

Rating: 2/10 (13 October 2007)

Yes, we all love Cate and Clive, but is that really enough to carry a sequel...no, I think not. Yes the film is beautiful, Cate's skin luminescent, but cleavage heaving aside, I rolled my eyes more times than the catholic on the racks.
And really, what was the point? That Elizabeth saved England from the Inquisition? We all knew that going in..Oh, that she was the virgin queen, check - we knew that too. How about some story-telling? How about giving the audience some tension? Okay, I came away now aware that Virginia was named after the virgin queen - but she was about as much of a virgin as Madonna was back in the 1980s. I wanted more, and was disappointed.
Save your money, and see something else
