The Other Boleyn Girl

I usually like all things that have to do with the Tutors or Anne Boleyn, but this movie didn't cut it.
Most of the characters were miscast for one.
The way the story was told stunk.
I read the book "The Other Boleyn Girl" and enjoyed that, but this movie version was a waste.
Guess after seeing "Anne of the Thousand Days" so many times, I am spoiled. That is the best Henry 8/Anne Boleyn movie ever.
Only reason this movie gets 2 stars is the costumes and scenery were nice to look at.

Catherine Carey, Henry Carey and Elizabeth I, Queen of England, were cousins
and halflings at once? Henry VIII Tudor really wasn't a very nice man.
Mary had two children by the king and Anne only one.
The political and bedroom customs of the time don't seem very Christian.
For lust Henry VIII broke with the Catholic Church and
all his trying for a son seem to have been in vane
except for ones under other people's names?
The acting is very good but the costumes and setting aren't too accurate
either.

A wonderful story beautifully produced and directed. The costuming and sets and landscapes are gorgeous. I haven't read the book and feel there is no need to after watching this DVD.

I watched this with very little expectation it would be good. It is sad how Henry's wives were treated and truthfully I didn't expect a lot from this film. I was pleasantly surprised that I found it mostly watchable.

This is about Mary, Anne's pretty but sweet sister and how she is forced into adultery with the king to bail out her awful family. Anne resents her for it and takes revenge in various nasty ways. Eventually the two girls patch their differences and we all know what happens next.

I found this to be a watchable film. The costumes were pretty, and the acting fairly boilerplate. I probably wouldn't watch it again, but it was worth a look

2 stars.

I was extremely excited after reading Gregory's book that they were going to be making a movie. I was rather hopeful that they didnt butcher it. Honestly they didnt do such a horrible job.
The costumes were amazing and very well done. I felt the cast was well-picked although no one seems to get King Henry right. This was my problem with the TV series "The Tudors". The movie was almosat historically correct and well realistically the script wasnt that bad. It could've been better,
I wasnt disappointed with the movie. I still stick to my opinion that books are always better than movies.
