Dumbed down history and bad acting, 10 July 2008
1/10
Author: akunau from United States

It was a real chore to endure 2 hours of this weak film. The historical inaccuracies aside, of which there are more than will fit on this page, the acting was awful, and both actresses' English accents were laughable. Why can't English actresses be cast in English roles? It's a difficult accent to master especially for American actors, similarly hard for English actors to get down an American accent or specific dialect. Bottom line not worth the $4 rental fee, and definitely does not do these real people of history any justice.

There are much better films about the Tudors already made. Recommended would be "Anne of the Thousand Days" and "Elizabeth" and "Elizabeth: The Golden Age".
