Movie Reviews of Elizabeth R
Movie Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars
This set is superb both in acting and coverage of historical details. You have to invest significant time to watch it (each of the six parts is about 90 minutes) but it is DEFINITELY worth it. The original movie was made in 1972, so there are no modern special effects etc. But in so many cases they are just compensating for a shallow script and mediocre acting. This set does not "feel" 30 years old. It has one of history's most interesting periods as the foundation, great screen plays in the middle, and equally great acting as the topping. What else can you wish for?Movie Review: ELIZABETH R IS THE DEFINITIVE BIO ON THIS QUEEN
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this series in the 70's and thought Glenda Jackson has found a role nobody can supercede..she IS Queen! It's well worth the money for your video collection and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys historical accuracy in brilliant movie-making. Queen E the 1st has been a heroine of mine since I was a kid...if you think of it, that tiny country...that one lone woman...ruled the seas, France, Scotland , and EVERY person loved her. Wish we had an Elizabeth 1 today to help us out!
GET THE MOVIE..YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID!
Movie Review: Great History
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this, it is a a true historical drama. Well researched and well acted. It lacks the elegant scenery and locals of some of the later renditions of Elizabeth and those are enjoyable to watch. They are however not as grounded in research and documentation as this version. I also enjoyed the special features very much. Acting lost a great actress when Glenda Jackson retired to be a politician. I feel her version of Elizabeth is probably as close as we can get to what she might have been like as a person and a Queen.Movie Review: Elizabeth R - Tudor History
Summary: 5 Stars
Bravo! This is an excellent reaching tool for anyone interested in Tudor History. Unlike recent films on the Virgin Queen, this PBS 70's version is far more accurate to historical fact. Glenda Jackson's performance is excellent. This version starts with a young Elizabeth, during the reign of her brother Edward VIII. It also shows her life after the death of her father King Henry VIII, with her Step-Mother Katerine Parr - so the range of this drama covers a life time. Historical and Enjoyable, well worth the purchase.Movie Review: Glenda Jackson is the preeminent Elizabeth
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't get me wrong, I've adored Cate Blanchett's and Helen Mirren's capable portrayals of Queen Elizabeth. The productions have been opulent, beautifully filmed and well-acted.
I saw "Elizabeth R" back when I was in high school and always wished I could see it again. Over the years I wondered if it would hold up to more recent versions. I finally broke down and bought it and it's even better than I remembered. Glenda Jackson simply is the preeminent Elizabeth. I cannot recommend this item highly enough.
