1.Elizabeth: The Golden Age [2007] starring: Cate Blanchett, Clive Owen, Geoffrey Rush, Rhys Ifans, Abbie Cornish directed by: Shekhar Kapur February 25, 2008

At once more ambitious and less intriguing than its predecessor, Elizabeth: The Golden Age certainly isn't the abject disaster reviewers claimed on its theatrical release, although it's not nearly as engrossing as the original. Unfortunately, while Shekhar Kapur opens up the action and opts for a much lighter palate this time round, with at least a trailer's worth of striking visuals, the results are not particularly compelling. By focusing on the best-known part of the Virgin Queen's reign there's less of the constant sense of danger that marked its predecessor even though it amps up the threat by pitting her not against her own court but the might of the Spanish Empire and its Armada. Yet, being a sequel, it adheres to the `the same but different,' ... Read More:

This is a worthwhile package featuring the fine historical dramas 'Elizabeth' and 'Elizabeth:The Golden Age'.Both movies show Elizabeth 1st at different stages of her life and though they have received some critisism about their historical inaccuracies they are entertaining and well worth watching. Cate Blanchett is fantastic in the lead role and you can't take your eyes off her.She is a wonderful actress and she is at her very best in both movies.There is very good support from the likes of Geoffrey Rush,Clive Owen,Christopher Eccleston,Joseph Fiennes and many others.The cinematography is excellent also. Of the two,'Elizabeth' is the better movie but as a double DVD set this is a treat and definitely well worth a look.There are also ... Read More:

Among Great Britain's monarchs, two queens stand out in particular: Elizabeth I. and Queen Victoria. Both came to power at extremely young ages, and at times of political instability which would have set the odds of survival against any new ruler, but particularly so, against a woman. Both beat those odds in ways few people would have foreseen: They not only persevered but ruled for a nearly unparalleled long time, and during their reign achieved to both strengthen England's economy and international stance and give new direction to its society. We have long come to identify their reign as "the Victorian Age" and "the Elizabethan Age," respectively. Yet, while "Victorian England" is an expression often used synonymously with moral conservativism, Elizabeth I. ... Read More:

Two hours of overacting and pretentious prattling. He gets caught and escapes, gets caught and escapes. By the time he takes the poison you wish there was enough to go around to put the audience out of their ordeal...then it still goes on... The acting and flow of the story is so bad and confusing that not even the exquisite cinematography makes it worth seeing this one through.

As a HD disc the picture is superb, the colours are bright, detail sharp and the sound excellent. I agree with the other reviews that it was not historically correct and spent to much time trying to find a love interest The navel battle takes about 4 minutes of the film which is such a waste as the detail of the ships and battle scene is amazing. I think Cate Blanchett is a superb actress who plays her part extremely well, I don`t think Clive Owen was right for the part as Raleigh the part was too big. It is a good film only because Cate Blanchett is a superb actress.

I am a big fan of historical movies but I have learned in the past never to expect too much of them. They tend to be over dramatised and sensationalised for Hollywood glamour. Thankfully this is not the case with Elizabeth. This movie is very enjoyable and up to perhaps the final twenty minutes maintains a very engrossing plot and pace. Then it tends to drag a bit but that's no big thing. Yes there are historical inaccuracies (name me a movie now a days that is historically accurate!!!) but unlike so many other historical movies (The Other Boleyan Girl comes straight to mind and I shudder at the memory of it) the misleading facts are not as blatently obvious as they usually are. In fact unless you are quite up on the history of this time you wouldn't notice any of the ... Read More:

With the sequal to this due out soon, I only hope they manage to capture the stunning atmosphere of the original film. Dark and full of intrigue is the world in which the young princess Elizabeth becomes Elizabeth the first. This girl thought up the concept of GIRL POWER. Magnificent is Geoffrey Rush as her faithful advisor Walsingham, whose sole meaning in life is to protect his queen. What I wonder would her children have become if she had married, but that we shall never know. A MUST SEE film, great for those studying the period or just for entertainment (although don't expect any laughs)
