Not a bad movie at all. It was a bit slow at times but rather well played out overall. I'm not a big fan of Scarlett Johansson but I didn't hold that against the movie. Eric Bana played a good King Henry and the rest of the cast faired rather well. The costumes were excellent and as a period piece, it seemed honest enough although it's still a Hollywood film and liberties are often taken.

I am a sucker for historical pics. I just love them... well they are well done and well acted, of course! It took me a long time to see this one, mostly because of the cast. I just did not think that Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson could pull it off. I figured that Eric Bana could. Well, I was wrong about Portman and Johansson, as they were surprisingly very good and convincing. Bana was exactly as I expected, spot on for the most part! The story was very well drawn out. For history buffs and fans of The Tudors, don't miss this one. It's a great movie and can lead to some interesting debate about what really happened! I'm giving this one a solid 8/10.

To be honest, before I watched this movie, I was not a fan of historical fiction, but this movie changed my mind. The story of Mary and Anne was very captivating, with twists and turns that were very unexpected. I actually did some research on Anne Boleyn and discovered that many of the events in the movie actually happened, and the movie is, for the most part historically accurate. If you enjoy anything related to the tudors, you will fall in love with this movie with a slightly tragic twist. However, if you know the outcome of the characters before seeing the movie (as I did) it does loose the "shock value". Well acted too.

Don't know what was not to like. Natalie Portman did an excellent performance. Eric Bana played the role like I would expect king Henry to be! Very great. Big history buff.

Scarlett did well but Natalie Portman was just not believable as the sexy and cunning Anne Boeyln. I read the book before seeing the movie and was a little disapointed how the movie seemed to gloss over the sexy and brutal side seen in the book. It was still good but could have done better with some recasting.

Even if you haven't read the book this movie just doesn't stand on it's own. It was so rushed. The costumes were great and the ladies looked beautiful and Eric Bana made a great looking King but that is it. Save the price of the movie read the book.
