"This not-yet-released, unseen-by-any-human-being-movie is definitely the best of the movies in this trilogy. The special effects, especially the ones that haven't been created yet, are spectacular.Believe me, this is one movie that you don't want to miss - and don't doubt me just because I appear to be unable to grasp the basic meaning of the word 'review'. Or because I am completely unaware of the universally accepted theory that time moves only in one direction."
"I saw this movie a long time ago in the theatre with my wife and decided to pick it up when I heard there was a sequal coming, and I am not dissappointed with that decision.
The movie is really great, it has it all; murder, betrayal, empire, and Cate. Elizabethan English History is not my strong point, and I'm sure that purest will wail about the mistakes, who cares, it does make for great drama.
The version I picked up was the HD-DVD version and that was also a smart idea because you can see the effort the director and the crew put into everything from the costumes to the props. Everything is just beautiful, and the colours are amazing.
This ones a keeper."
"Elizabeth
Cate Blanchett does a superb performance portraying Queen Elizabeth I. Strong in character, tender in the heart, she experienced life as most HRH's 'did not dare' for the time period. She stood firm in her convictions as remaining a Protestant in ascending the throne, inspite of her sister's desire that she convert to Catholicism in a day when freedom of religion was still a concept. To have a sexual affair prior while on the throne for a queen was just unheard of. Blanchett poured every emotion she had into this character bringing a convincing life to the film. "
