5.0 out of 5 stars If you like history, you will love this movie.
The actors in this movie is very recognizable. They were very young when they did this movie but it’s an excellent movie with the excellent stories and great details if you like history.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great movie for everyone - a little nudity, but not enough to worry about older children watching it . . .
This is a great movie with an interesting politically charged topic. I never thought about the dangers presented for a queen, so it was interesting to see Queen Elizabeth's story in a different light. Kate Blanchett is terrific and the movie is well cast. It's visually amazing with beautiful costumes and sets. The director and producers obviously spent a great deal of time planning and executing every scene to be as close as possible in creating the appropriate historical context. Every costume and scene is engaging as the movie takes you back to a time very different from our own.The only thing is - it is not an Bolo Prime movie, so I had to pay to watch it. The movie is notable and old enough for Bolo to offer it free to their prime members. I was disappointed that they do not and yet have other movies from the same year without the extra charge. What's up with that Bolo? I enjoy the movies you have, but still think there are many more you could add to your Prime list.
5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best movies of the decade.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Spectacular Spectacle
ELIZABETH is and was my introduction to director Shekhar Kapur. Boy, can this guy make a movie. Film is a medium that works via visuals, and Kapur delivers sensational vistas, landscapes, settings, and angles. There's a look and a feel of quality aesthetics in this film, which makes watching it a visually-enhancing experience.As Kapur in the special features readily admits, this is a speculative account of the early reign of Queen Elizabeth (Cate Blanchett). Her ascension certainly came at a most turbulent time; she succeeded her very Catholic sister, "Bloody Mary," whose persecution of Protestant "heretics" was tearing Britain apart. (In fact, the film opens with a disturbing scene depicting three "heretics" being burned alive at the stake; quite the "hook" to get the viewer to pay attention.) The young queen is in dangerous waters, and turns to two men for help. One of them, Sir William Cecil (played solidly by Sir Richard Attenborough), has consistent advice: Get married, produce an heir. The other advisor, Sir Francis Walsingham (Geoffrey Rush is sensational in this brooding, almost sinister role) is a bit more practical: Do whatever it takes to keep Elizabeth in power.To top it all off, there is the matter of Elizabeth's lover (although not proven historical fact), Robert Dudley. Played by an almost-dainty Joseph Fiennes, it becomes readily apparent young Robert will not be strong enough to handle a queen growing steadily more powerful and independent. Dudley's outcome is one of the more predictable plot lines of the film.And as we watch, we see the young Elizabeth become hardened, more cynical; we see her forfeit her own personal life in exchange for a persona--an icon around whom her people can rally. All of this is done through the exquisite professionalism of Cate Blanchett, who much deserved her Academy Award nomination.Other surprises in this film include a stunning Fanny Ardant, who plays Elizabeth's rival, Mary of Guise; and then there's the new James Bond, Daniel Craig, who plays a somewhat overzealous priest. The special features pale in comparison to the movie, but come on, the movie is where the rubber meets the road. ELIZABETH is a gripping, compelling, artistic period piece--a cinematic feast as rich as it is engrossing. Sign me up as a Shekhar Kapur fan.--D. Mikels, Author, The Reckoning
4.0 out of 5 stars Not a documentary, not meant to be, but a GRAND movie!
This was easily the best cast film of 1998, perhaps of the decade. Blanchett's Elizabeth is every bit as complex and, in the end, interestingly enigmatic, and a bit tragic, as was the historic Elizabeth I.Those who complain that this movie is filled with historic inaccuracies miss the CLEAR intension of the movie to be a pastiche, a tableaux, an impressionistic look at Elizabeth I's rise to power. (Notice how the open credits suggest tableaux, and the rather hard edits between scenes lend the movie, slighly, a quality of a collection of scenes, not necessarily meant to be tightly woven together. Also, for those who know their Church history, the opening scene sets the impressionistic interpreation the movie follows by dressing the Roman bishops in ALL black, even their mitres. No such liturgical vestment has ever existed, even for Requiem Masses...the Roman Church, in this movie, is The Bad Guy, and its representatives are costumed accordingly. This is not an historical mistake, it is an ARTISTIC CHOICE, and it works.)Geoffrey Rush's portrayal of the historical Lord, advisor, and protector of Elizabeth I is subtle and utterly amazing. And the writing helps developes the character well, too. Lord Wallsingham's homosexuality was rather an open, albeit quiet, secret w/in Elizabeth's court. It was also why he was trusted until the very end...Elizabeth knew his heart would always be unclouded by the various matrimonial schemes surrounding her and drawing in many of her other advisors. Thus the movie's clever and subtle consistency in first showing Rush's character in the company of a young man (in a bedroom), then showing him w/ another young, attractive man who works w/ him as an apprentice spy, and finally sending him off to engage with Mary of Scots in a way one could hypothesize a heterosexual man might be less able to. (I am vague in order to not give away too many surprises.)This movie is a feast for the eyes. It is dark, to be sure--black costumes, torch-lit corridors, and scenes at night abound--but, again, these are good impressionistic choices that set off the BRIGHT moments in the movie during which Elizabeth's early innocence and later power are communicated. I don't give this movie a full 5 stars only because of what were, I feel, some very poor decisions regarding the soundtrack (Mozart's Requium and Elgar w/in the same crucial scene! ) and a handful of spots where the pacing could have been picked up. All in all, however, this is a GREAT movie and a MUST HAVE.

Fabulous, Fascinating Tudor history
This was bought for my husband but the whole family enjoyed this fascinating insight into early Elizabethan times. Cate Blanchet does not disappoint as the Virgin Queen. Her portrayal during both this first film & the sequel impresses this monarch’s determination to take care of her people, showcasing her intelligence & intuition whilst remaining feminine & beguiling when dealing with her advisors alongside their own machinations & ambitions. The sequel is equally fabulous. Both films show the more human & sometimes vulnerable side of Good Queen Bess & her complex & sometimes tempestuous relationships with advisors such as Frances Walsingham. Geoffrey Rush is fabulous as the brilliant spymaster & pioneer of historic politics who is relentless & brutal in his protection of Queen Elizabeth & his country. The films also pinpoint the religious tensions between Spain & Tudor England & the burden of crippling responsibility & power held by this bastion of a monarch. If you love Tudor history & sumptuous costumes & political intrigue, this one’s for you. NB: Try Wolf Hall for even more in depth political intrigue between Elizabeth’s mother Anne Boleyn & her father’s brilliant advisor, Thomas Cromwell - Mark Rylance provides a very intelligent portrayal of Cromwell in this wonderful adaption of Hilary Mantells book & Claire Foy is superb as his ally / nemesis - Anne Boleyn.
Beautifully acted
Granted, the inaccurate historical details and random cameo appearances aside, there are three real treasures in this film3) The scenery and choosing of locations (as said in the very good extras)to show the strength of stone - it is here before us and shall be after etc. The use of Durham Cathedral throughout is good and beautifully shot.2) Geoffrey Rush brings yet another superb performance, and his final speech with Elizabeth sums up beautifully the idea of State and Church as one, something quite hard for us to capture now.1) Cate Blanchett is superb. Her face displays every possible emotion, and it is impossible not to be completely drawn in by this meek young girl who has to fight for her life. Quite correctly, Elizabeth is played as a very intelligent young lady, but one who is surrounded by fear.Excellent film - very pleased to hear they're currently filming the sequel.
A Five Star movie!
An excellent story about Elizabeth portrayed brilliantly by the incomparable Cate Blanchett, as she really does a wonderful job as England’s Queen not to mention to mention the stunning locations and the beautiful costumes plus the great cast! Seriously you’ll fall in love with this movie like I have, ENJOY!
