Horrible film

Rating: 3/10 (9 April 2011)

I had high hopes for this movie, not having read any of the reviews or summaries. Alas - this film is total rubbish.
1. The acting is mediocre at best. Natalie and Scarlet will never be known as great actresses and they do nothing to elevate this film.
2. Revisionist history. Yes, the Boleyn family is known for its power hungry characteristics, but in this film they make Henry look like a moron and suggest Ann was behind most of the schemes. Thats just fail.
3. The film omits many important events that helped shape Henry's court, skipping ahead from pregnancy to pregnancy. A lot of the interesting maneuvering and intrigue is lost in the process.
If you want to see decent cinema for this time period - watch The Tudors mini-series. This film is not worth your time.
