The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)

Fun but no history lesson

I have not seen the DVD but did go to the movie at the theater. I had read the book and knew that it was great fun if not even close to historically accurate. That is OK by me. The movie is short so has very little time to tell a very long story. I was expecting it to be longer and I think it would have been better if it was longer. Having said that, I thought it was a very beautiful movie and the costumes were wonderful. I thought that Natalie Portman is great as Anne. July 22, 2008

The Other Boleyn Girl

I liked it very much. I have already watched it several times. I thought the actor that played King Henry was the best. I would watch other movies he is in.

Very Dissapointing

This movie was absolutely horrible. It was also a very big letdown after waiting for it to come out and then watch. Where was Wolsey in this? He played such an integral part in the lives of Henry VIII and Anne. I think they mentioned his name once. The movie was choppy and did not flow at all. It seemed as if the script was the result of the good idea fairy gone bad. Too much cognac at a cigar bar is not what makes good script. If you want a much better movie see Anne of a Thousand Days with Richard Burton and Genevive Bujold. July 20, 2008

alright

I like period pieces and the two actresses, so I though it would be a good movie. The whole movie was a fight for the king. Wasn't that interesting. July 19, 2008

Wife loved it and I thought it was pretty good too.

My wife really liked the movie and so did I. She said it wasn't as good as the book, but how many movies ever are. Not wholly historically acurate, so I wouldn't use it to study for a big test. The set designers did a great job in immursing the viewer in to 15th century England. July 19, 2008
