No real chemistry between Blanchett and Clive Owen who looks simply delicious, but there really wasn't supposed to be as you'll find out when you watch the movie.
I had a good time seeing Elizabeth so powerful, the jaded appreciation for Walsingham, her loyal subject and Elizabeth so human and vulnerable in the face of adversity as well as never being allowed Love for the sake of her throne. Watch it, It's worth it. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

I enjoyed both the first Elizabeth movie with Cate Blanchett and this was fantastic too! It shows you the monarch side and human side of Elizabeth after all she was her father's daughter! WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Read MoreIf you like period pieces and know your history this is a fantastic movie. I watched it with my 14 year old daughter and there were some places that we had to fast forward due to the violence on individuals who had different religious beliefs. It is a movie so it doesn't follow history exactly.
Visually it is a feast...Elizabeth's costumes alone were stunning. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

This was actually better than I expected. I am a big fan of historical epics, and this one covers a lot of the famous parts of Queen Elizabeth's time. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes
