This movie is pretty intense. It's historical (though I suspect not historically accurate) and it really gets into the court system of English nobility. This movie, if I recall correctly, got slammed by the critics who didn't like it at all. DH and I both liked it. I thought it was interesting and gripping, and it moved along really well. It also wasn't predictable to me at least. This movie is about Henry VIII which I guessed by the end even though it didn't really specify in the start--- I guessed just by the number of wives he went through.

Re: The Other Boleyn Girl
I really enjoyed this movie as well. Actually, it prompted me to google Ann Boleyn because the story was so...compelling. I enjoyed the exploration of relationships and the quest for power. I really enjoyed it. DH's review would be more like :huh: .
Of course, this review comes from a guy who think its o.k. to watch old war movies on date night.

No-- but is The Tudors good? I really enjoyed this movie- and I enjoy the era/setting, etc. Do you recommend the series?Peggy

Re: The Other Boleyn Girl
Just finished the move - didn't really like it. I think that they did a good job trying to cram the (amazing) book into a movie, but I did not go through the same emotional ride as with the book. There's just not enough time to really portray all that went on. It seems to paint an entirely different picture than the book. Left me kind of disappointed...oh well...

Re: The Other Boleyn Girl
I completely agree with this. I just read the book a couple weeks ago, so all of the details were fresh in my mind. The movie changed SO much!!! It re-ordered things, changed the interactions between Mary & the King, totally changed their mother's role. I imagine if I hadn't read the book, I would have enjoyed the movie and found it visually stunning - but I really didn't like it.

Re: The Other Boleyn Girl
I put the book on a hold request at the library last week after reading this thread. Having already watched the movie and loving it, I have even higher expectations for the book! I can't wait until it comes in! aper:Charlene~Married to an attending Ophtho Mudphud and Mom to 2 daughters
