Movie Reviews of Henry VIII
Movie Review: Henry VIII is THE MAN!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this on PBS a few weeks ago, and thought it kicked major ass. Henry VIII is just too damn cool... I want to get a picture of him eating a turkey leg and swigging some ale to hang up in my living room.
Henry VIII does what Henry VIII wants. Bobby Brown was ripping him off when he sang "That's my Prerogative." And that's what I like about him...
Got beef with the Pope? Kick all the Catholics out of your country. Wife not giving you sons? Off with her head. Some dude in York talking smack? Have him drawn, hung, and quartered. They should start making WWHVIIID bracelets.
So anyways.. Henry VIII is one of my personal heros alongside the likes of Charles "Chuck" Bronson and anyone who can crush things with their mind. He truly is a king among men. This is the movie that started it all for me.
Movie Review: Really was not that Bad!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
If I cited inaccuracies in every historical film I have seen I would be writing a book length review per film. This is simply a production with a non-traditional slant on Henry VIII. The movie Elizabeth had a lot of...how should I say..."embellishments" but it was still an exceptional film and I can say the same for this production. Forget what you know (or think you know) and sit down and enjoy!! The acting was great, the costuming wonderful, the soundtrack exceptional and the overall production design not too shabby!!!! This film is not a class teaching you historical fact but a movie for entertainmant value so simply watch and enjoy. Goodness knows in these dark times dealing with actual current events we could use a fantasy break with a good movie. You are hearing this from a serious Tudor History Buff!!!!!Movie Review: Ray Winstone and Helena Bohnam Carter are great!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'd been wanting to buy this dvd for sometime, but for a long time the price was too high for me. I did not buy it based on the reviews up unitl now. Well, I finally purhcased it for the super low price.
I viewed the movie in its entirety, and I enjoyed it!! I was not looking for historical accuracy. I viewed it simply for entertaintment purposes. The acting was great, the costumes were great; brutal in some scenes, but then again, that was Henry VIII's life.
I thoroughly enjoyed the way the director portrays Henry's love for Anne Boleyn. This is a movie of uncontrolable passion, lots of betrayal and political back stabbing in and out of the court, and heads rolling.
Simply entertaining and full of drama.
5 *****
Movie Review: EXCELLENT MOVIE 5 Stars
This is an older movie ..but so excellent. Remember seeing it all a mini series on Masterpiece Theather and NOW ITS ALL MINE.Beautiful costumes..and wonderful history listen.
You get to see King Henry from his youth up until his death. He had many beautiful..and not so beautiful wives. Its again an excellent movie.
Enjoy
Movie Review: Henry Vlll
Summary: 5 Stars
I am and have been for a long time an avid reader of English history. From everything I have read about Henry, Ray Winstone is Henry Vlll in this wonderful performance. This is one of my favorite movies. I am just blown away with his Henry.
