Not sure when or why I watched it and the original, although I expect they were probably watched one shortly after the other. I really liked this one and its music in particular, and have listened to the score many times.

At home.

At the school I was working at the children had been learning about the Tudors for a while, which started to pique my interest and I guess at some point I was reminded of these two films, which I had watched once before and enjoyed. On the evening of the 25th of March 2014 I watched this one, having watched the first the night before.
Although it seems this one was criticised and compared unfavourably to the original, I liked it. I'd allow that the original was better, if I was going to be especially critical, but this one had more dramatic flair. Different approaches, I guess. I think I would have enjoyed it even more if it had either been less about Elizabeth's weird attraction to Walter Raleigh, or in a weird way more.
