Average Movie

Rating: 6/10 (1 May 2009)

The Other Boleyn Girl is an average movie, but I most likely wouldn't make the effort to watch it again.
The plot is interesting and entertaining (for the most part) however even though the film is just over 100 minutes, I felt it tended to lag in parts, and I nearly fell asleep during certain parts (particually during the middle of the movie). It is quite slow moving, however as I said have previously, it is an interesting story, but very historically incorrect.
The cast is chosen well, and all three leading roles (played by Eric Bana, Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman respectively) are well acted and believable.
If you are seeking a film with a bonus history lesson, then look elsewhere. As I have previously mentioned, the majority of "The Other Boleyn Girl" is fictional.
