Stop one minute I had no idea that the handsome Clive Owen who plays Sir Walter Raleigh, would be in this movie. I couldn't get pass his character in the recent Pink Panther movie, talk about a chessy role. The acting by Cate Blanchett who plays Queen Elizabeth, never grows old on me. She is just a sweet fragrance of grace when it comes to acting. She did great in this movie.
In a time when the changing of religious and political tides of the 16th Century Europe, the fragile yet strong Queen Elizabeth finds her rule challenged by the obessive Spanish King Philip II, who is played by Jordi Molla. Queen Elizabeth was queen of England and King Philip wanted to restore England to Catholicism, so he wages war against the Queen. Moreover, the Queen's desires for a man's love, that is Raleigh love (Clive Owens' character) was interwined quite immaturely in this movie, as well.
Elizabeth: The Golden Age is a thrill to watch. It about a story in an era of darkness, of one woman's God given faith to stand up against her land's enemies, to understand love and secure her position as a leader who cared.
I give this movie: 3 TIARAS
