Review of Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007) by Habibiehakim — 18 Jun 2022

8.5/10.

I was coming to this movie with a very concerned feeling because I feel like it's unnecessary to make a sequel to the 1998 Elizabeth film, and I was even more concerned when I see the synopsis compare to the title, I don't want this film to have a story about Elizabeth Golden Age of romance instead of Golden Age of Elizabeth war lead supporter, and thank goodness they did not do that at least mostly, now i'm not gonna lie at the first 30 minutes I still have that strong concerned feeling, but as the time goes the movie became a little bit greater and better movie and story than the first one surprisingly, I also thoroughly enjoy the film from the beginning till the end, Cate Blanchett performance as Elizabeth is still as great if not better than the first one, there is still some mentionable nit picky here and there, and I believe my concerned feeling kinda impact my rating but it didn't really matter overall Elizabeth: The Golden Age is still an unnecessary sequel but like I said it's surprisingly a slightly greater and better movie and story than the first Elizabeth.
