A renewed interest in the English monarch has been triggered by _The Crown_ on Netflix. I'm just not sure this movie was worth my time. It takes a lot of liberties with actual history. It definitely makes the religious war of post Henry VIII rule look like only the Catholics were crazy. The best part of the movie is future James Bond Daniel Craig playing an assassin priest. Quite the foreshadowing.

The bloom has come off the rose a bit since I first saw this film 20 years ago. I still love it, I still love Cate in it, but the score is awful and the story just feels thin at times.

[8.4/10] There’s an old saying that the definition of an intellectual is someone who can listen to the “William Tell Overture” without thinking of *The Lone Ranger*. Well, a corollary to that may be that the definition of an uncultured film bro like yours truly is someone who can’t watch *El More

I LOVE a good historical drama and it's no different here!!
- Elizabeth's ascension to the English throne is, without a doubt, one of the best known historical facts and, for me, this is a film that portrays that time very well (they certainly took some creative liberties, but overall it is what be More

Cate Blanchett brought me to this film, but I stayed for the Queen! Admittedly, I knew almost nothing about the Tudor time period of English history & the inaccuracies of this film led me to seek out & devour the actual facts!

What a rivetting performance by the young Blanchett though! Man More

Even The Footballer did a decent job
Forget about historical records and accuracy or Henry VIII architecture, their buildings look like they are in the BC XI. I wont give it 10 because is full of historical inaccuracies, if this was a Russian film they would say it is disinformation and propaganda. More
