Awful

Rating: 1/10 (21 April 2008)

Instantly, the movie starts telling a different story than the book. It continues with gorgeous sets, great acting, but a horrible screenplay. I was not expecting the movie to be half as good as the book, but I was not expecting it to not follow the book at all. The movie depicts Anne Boleyn as a victim of King Henry VIII, but in the book she is not a nice, caring sister, but a vicious, competitive woman who will stop for nothing, even her sister. The book was a wonderful read that allowed for a great movie, but it was not filmed in that way. If you have read the book you will more than likely be incredibly upset after seeing this movie. If you still insist on seeing it, wait for it to come to DVD and see if you can have it sent during the free 2 week trial of Netflix. I saw it for free and that was even too much!
