Awful movie

Rating: 1/10 (12 March 2008)

I have been studying Anne Boleyn for years now, I will be writing my Grad thesis on her in the fall and this was the WORST movie I have ever seen! I have read much on Anne, Henry VIII, and The Other Boleyn Girl, now I was not expecting much when I went to see the movie, but it was even worse than I could have ever imagined! It stopped being historically accurate after about the first five minutes, and it only loosely followed the book. There is no way that Henry would have fallen for Anne had he met her previously, and they met at court, NOT at the Boleyn's place of residence. Anne was not sent to France as a form of exile, both her and Mary spent their early youth at the French court. In fact both Boleyn girls served Henry VIII's sister Mary when she was Queen of France. There were many important details that were left out, and relationships that were formulated that never happened. There was always an intense jealously between Anne and her sister Mary. In the movie they are portrayed as being close sisters. Save your movie and wait until it is on the $1 rental list at Blockbuster!
