Awfully boring

Rating: 1/10 (18 January 1999)

I'm amazed that this film got such rave reviews. To me it was one of the most boring soap operas possible. Yes, if you like looking at handsome young guys, they're there. But the dialogue, the accents, the music was terrible. Ridiculous to hear Elizabeth I, the most powerful person in England in the 1580's, commiserate with women "Yes, I know how difficult it is to make it in a man's world" Sigh. Tough being the most powerful person in the world. Don't waste your money. Watch "Santa Barbara" or "Secret Storm" and set it back 400 years.
