Elizabeth: The Golden Age

Cate Blanchett and Clive Owen were most enthralling as Elizabeth and Sir Walter Raleigh. Especially in the incredible scenery necessary to tell the story accurately. A genuinely authentic period film truly needs this excellence and it certainly did bring the characters to their roles in costumes where only a true historian would be so detailed. The film also showed the Virgin Queen as a real human being capable of loving but committed to her people.Read full review...

Interesting

I wanted to see this movie due to the oscar buzz. I like Cate Blanchett in pretty much every movie she has been in, so I watched it today. It was kind of hard to follow, I didn't get the connections with the Jesuit and the spanish dude and Mary Stuart right off. I did like the story with Walter and Beth. They had sexual chemistry from the get go, and Elizabeth just never seemed to open up fully to Walter, so I don't blame him for going for true love with Beth. It got a little weird towards the end, but all in all it was a good movie for a Friday nite being sick with a cold.Read full review...

Enjoyed it.

A very good movie. Cate Blanchette did a great job of portraying Queen Elizabeth.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age--a Golden tribute!

This movie is a wonderful tribute to Elizabeth I. She is exteremely well portrayed, and the supporting cast does a wonderful job taking you back hundreds of years to watch her story unfold from where it left off in Elizabeth, the first film of the two. This film focuses on the political struggles she faces after her ascension with not only her own subjects but other countries as well. Fabulous cast, wonderful cinematography, applaudable historical accuracy, and great shooting locations and sets make this film totally believable and the performances therein unforgettable. Highly recommended for just about anyone who enjoys history, medieval stories, or seeing their favorite actors showcased so well.Read full review...

Very Good - 8.5 out of 10 Stars

Although this story has been told a lot. The Cinematography was GREAT along with Cate Blanchett's performance. I'm really happy they released it in the Widescreen format, I hate Pan n Scan. I wanted to see this after I saw Elizabeth. It's hard to come up with something new to tell about a time that is so known but the producer's added thier spin and spot lights to the movie. Over all it was very good.Read full review...

Good not great

I enjoyed it mostly because of Cate Blanchette. It's a little long but still a good film to watch.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2008, DVD)

Cinema's fascination with The Virgin Queen continues unabated, with the key principals from 1998's surprise hit Elizabeth - writer Michael Hirst, director Shekhar Kapur and Aussie stars Geoffrey Rush and Cate Blanchett - all back for this follow up. However it's hard to envisage the same royal approval this time out. Pitched as the equivalent to a bodice-ripping, overripe soap opera rather than anything more exacting, Elizabeth: The Golden Age (aka Elizabeth II) will need more than God to save her from a lacklustre reception.Read full review...
