seemed like more fiction than fact

Rating: 4/10 (10 January 2009)

I thought this movie had a lot of fictitious things in it. The story is based on true events and people, but I don't think that everything that happened in the movie happened in reality.
Also, none of the 3 main actors were very good. Bana had little chemistry with Portman or Johannason. Maybe it's because he is so much older. Also he looks to polished to be playing the gluten, Henry the VIII. It even seemed like the actors lost their English accent as the movie went on.
FINAL VERDICT: The Tudors on shotime tell the Henry the VIII story a lot better. I recommend watching that series if you want to see something on this subject.
