Movie Reviews of Elizabeth I
Movie Review: A not to be missed biography......
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one the best biographies of Elizabeth I have seen. Most take immense liberties with the actual history but this one laid it all out.
Helen Mirren I thought was superb as Elizabeth. She embodied all the qaulities the great queen has been said to have. The movie covers the last 15 years or so of her life. The attention to detail in the sets and costumes was breathtaking. I felt like I was really there!
You will NEED to see this if you are a fan of the first Elizabeth and/or period movies. You will no be disappointed.
Movie Review: Well Done!
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this movie several times when it was on HBO. I felt the cast was cast well. Helen Mirren did an excellent job portraying Queen Elizabeth I. But, what I can't get over is how much she looks like Queen Elizabeth II -- so it was fitting that she was cast for that role as well. Who knows what really happened between Elizabeth and Essex. History is passed down the way people want others to know. Time has proven that the truth eventually comes into the light. All in all -- WELL DONE!!
I cant' wait to add it to my collection.
Movie Review: Elizabeth I
Summary: 5 Stars
Given the subject matter, I can't believe how wonderfully done this movie was. It is rare that one can capture Elizabeth's wit and sarcasm. She was one-of-a-kind, as Helen Mirren must also be. Jeremy Irons was fantastic. I almost forgot the "bad guy" he played in Die Hard. Hugh Dancy is one of the most handsome men in Hollywood, London, or anywhere. I, too, would have had a hard time with the Earl of Essex. I wish they all could have won the Emmy. It would have been a sweep for the movie.Movie Review: Elizabeth I
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a brilliantly directed and acted saga of the life of Elizabeth I of England. The performances by the lead actors are excellent and spell binding! The set includes two discs, both centering around affairs Elizabeth I had with two men in her Court; the second being younger than the first. Anyone who has interest in the history of the British Monarchy, and of England itself, will find Elizabeth I irrestible. These are two DVD's that you will want to watch over and over. (Hugh A. Whitesell)Movie Review: superb mini series, better than most films, and a bargain!
Summary: 5 Stars
Here's an example of another HBO special mini series that outclasses the over hyped, over paid, and over priced Hollywood banalities of our age.
Mirren's and Iron's performances are up to the first class screen writing, and the production is richly done. Surprising to hear that Royal historian David Starkey annoints this as the most historically accurate, as it delights and entertains for a whopping 4 hours.
A bargain at twice the price!
