Movie Reviews of Elizabeth I
Movie Review: Helen Mirren Offers a Totally Compelling Portrait of Elizabeth I
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is absolutely superb! Helen Mirren's portrayal of the great Renaissance queen is simply mesmerizing. She shows the multifaceted qualities of this fascinating historical figure. She offers a finely-nuanced performance, providing all the subtleties of characterization that make Elizabeth live and breathe in this film. I have seen all of Mirren's magical character work, but her powers here are simply beyond compare. This performance will go down in history as one of the best (if not, THE BEST) of our time. I recommend this wholeheartedly to everyone the world over. Mirren is surely the 21st century's finest actress.
Movie Review: One of the Best
Summary: 5 Stars
I confess to being a Tudor fanatic and I'm constantly searching for a new book or film to satisfy my craving. Most films (and the recent TV series on Showtime) utterly fail when it comes to historical accuracy or characterization, but this film manages to do a fairly good job in representing Elizabeth I. Helen Mirren is a wonderful actress and the costumes and plot are all very well done. While I do enjoy the sets and costumes in the Cate Blanchette version of Elizabeth - this film is far less Hollywood and more satisfying to watch. Now if only someone with some sense could tackle Henry VIII.Movie Review: Helen Mirren is the Queen 1 and 2
Summary: 5 Stars
Helen Mirren is one of the best actors around. She can do anything and playing Queen Elizabeth the 1 and the second in the same year was a challenge and Ms. Mirren came through like a champ. She deserved both her Golden Globe as well as her Oscar but Elizabeth the 1st was her best; the costumes are gorgeous, the scenery enchanting and who wouldn't fall in love with Jeremy Irons, but it was Ms. Mirren who stole the show going from the young Queen to the elderly Queen-getting you to understand how Elizabeth kept from getting married and ruled England for so long. Long Live Queen Mirren!Movie Review: Simply Amazing.......
Summary: 5 Stars
It's not very often that a story line can be as good as the actors in it. After seeing 1998's "Elizabeth" my expectations of this miniseries was not very high. I had no doubt that Helen Mirren and Jeremy Irons would deliver exceptional performances but my concern was the story. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised. The story, the actors, the costumes all lived up to my expectations. The passionate and powerful speeches delivered by Helen Mirren were truly inspiring. I've always loved period films and I have to say that Elizabeth I is now one of my favorites.Movie Review: Enthralling performances...
Summary: 5 Stars
I love all that is English, when it comes to history, and this is the icing on the cake. Helen Mirren gives an outstanding performance as Queen Elizabeth, the later years. She "feels" the part and "lives" the part. Adding personality to a much misunderstood royal ruler. Even going so far as to play pinch and giggle with the younger Robert. You can see the pained emotions on her face when she is forced to make a choice between love and her throne. But her heart belongs to England so she lives out the remainder of her life as a woman without love or family.
