Review of Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007) by Dan S — 26 Oct 2009

A decent, but overall flawed look on Queen Elizabeth, her love affair with Sir Walter Raleigh, and how she ignited a war with Spain. It seems the love story was meant to be secondary, but it takes on more importance as the film goes on, while the plot that should've been primary, that being Elizabeth and the war with Spain, takes a step back.

The acting, as expected, is very good, with Owen proving to be a fine fit as Raleigh. However, when the excitement finally kicks into gear, it seems a little too late.
