It depends on YOU

Rating: 6/10 (28 November 2007)

Somehow I do not dare to write anything bad about this movie. With movies like Die Hard and stuff like that you can always say, that you find the movie dumb and just eye-candy, but this is just not a silly movie with no meaning. However, it really depends on you and your personality and origin how you feel about this movie. Basically you see The Queen Elizabeth II. for 2 hours answering calls, writing letters, seeing politicians etc.
After I saw the movie i summed it up for the fun of it as "You know in those really exciting movies you see once in a while, there's got to be a scene where the two parties negotiate, and you might think that that scene slows down the movie. Well, 'The Queen' is two hours of exactly that scene"
So what I was trying to say with the title of this review is that you will definitely be moved by this movie if you're British or in general are linked emotionally with The Queen and Princess Diana. For those who cannot relate to that cult about these persons - like me - they probably won't be touched by the movie. Except the sequence that deals with Dianas death, you really feel the anger for those paparazzi afterwards.
It's decent and in some ways extraordinary and some other ways too ordinary and down to earth to excite (me).
