The Other Other Boleyn Girl

Rating: 5/10 (22 March 2008)

As a fan of the book and a fan of Tudor history this movie seemed like something very different. I know that that book took many liberties with the history but the basics where close and the end product was VERY entertaining. This take on the book is very choppy and awkward and for any fan of the book a big disappointment. You have some amazing actors and they try their best but they don't have the good writing to work with and it seems like they never seem real in their characters (but Bana was a good king). And two things drove me crazy! One...they say "sister" 500 times in the movie...Two..the loose strings. I won't give much away but if you have read the book...or studied English history...this movie will seem like the OTHER 'Other Boleyn Girl'. If you want to see a great movie about Anne Boleyn go see 'Anne of the Thousand Days'.
