Movie Reviews of Henry VIII
Movie Review: Great film, great value! (full-frame edition)
Summary: 5 Stars
This 2003 color film (DVD) is now available in a 2-disc set at Big Lots for three bucks which is where I got mine.
It's the story of Henry VIII, from the time of his youth on through his adulthood and his many wives. His chief concern throughout his life was to sire a male heir and he really didn't care who had to die to make this happen.
The cinematography is terrific and vibrant (I know that the widescreen edition would be even better) and the acting is spot-on. David Suchet (PBS's Poirot) is especially compelling as Cardinal Wolsey. Some of the Henry VIII films come across as documentaries (in fact some are) but this one is a movie of the first water.
If you enjoy this historical genre of films you're sure to like this one. Technically, I guess this film qualifies as a mini-series, being originally broadcast in two parts as it is presented in this DVD set. The movie runs for a total of 200 minutes and is an HBO production.
Highly recommended!
