Movie Reviews of Elizabeth R
Movie Review: great for history buffs
Summary: 5 Stars
Anyone with an interest in Western history will love this BBC drama.
The costumes are exceptional, the acting is brilliant and the dialogue
is very clever.
One negative is the fact that I had issues with navigating the main menu on the disk, no idea why.
Elizabeth R will definately jump-start an interest in Tutor England and provide the novice with a great and entertaining history lesson.
Movie Review: As Good as I Remembered!
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember loving this series when it aired on Masterpiece Theater in the 70's. After recently seeing Helen Mirren's portrayal of Elizabeth I, I became nostalgic for Glenda Jackson's version. It did not disappoint! Glenda is, and always will be, the quintessential Bess! Sure, the sets seem a little high school drama production by today's standards, but in every other way it has stood the test of time.Movie Review: Costumer's dream
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this before ever seeing the series and I must say I couldn't have spent my money any better. This is so beautiful to watch and the acting is right up there! The historical comments are great and the special features are interesting. But I got this for the costumes and my god are they amazing. I already have several classes to teach based off several dresses found on these DVD's. Well worth it!!Movie Review: 'S blood! What fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
Powerful writing and acting make this DVD set a feast for the ears and eyes. And, it's close-captioned, too!
The sparce sets only serve to focus on the actors. Enjoy the long takes, particularly the Queen's addresses, with the camera deftly moving in and around the actors.
For added interest and a different perspective, check out Karen Harper's series of Queen Elizabeth I mysteries.
Movie Review: Excellent Account with Depth
Summary: 5 Stars
This series is an excellent look at the life of Queen Elizabth I. Glenda Jackson portrays the Queen in fine fashion and while they take some dramatic license it is true and accurate. The historical commentary really gives depth to the series and the bonus CD is excellent for even more insights into this period of time. This is a keeper for your collection.
