Reviews
The Times - Kapur's film is visually arresting, each frame a work of art in miniature. But there is something rather breathless about the storytelling., New York Times - A kitsch extravaganza aquiver with trembling bosoms, booming guns and wild energy, Hollywood Reporter - All in all, it's a grand package of hearty acting, design and action with the only caveat being that unlike the first film this Elizabeth can no longer surprise us with its modern twists.
Consumer Advice
Contains moderate violence, infrequent bloody battle scenes and injury
Additional Information
Nearly a decade after Cate Blanchett drew the attention of audiences and critics alike with ELIZABETH, the Oscar-winning actress returns to the role of the Virgin Queen. Though the protestant ruler has been on the throne for decades in 1585, Elizabeth I's reign is still under attack from both inside her country and from the continent. Her cousin, Mary, Queen of Scots (Samantha Morton), carries the favour of the nation's Catholics as she schemes for the throne from prison, while Spain's King Philip II (Jordi Molla) plots an invasion with the power of his famous armada. But Elizabeth is also concerned with the arrival of Sir Walter Raleigh (Clive Owen), a charming pirate and adventurer. Unable to reconcile her feelings with her crown, she encourages Bess (Abbie Cornish), her beloved lady-in-waiting, to pursue a relationship with Raleigh.
Nine years haven't dulled Blanchett's ability to play this--or any other--character with an impressive range of fire and tenderness. Her chemistry with the infinitely watchable Owen is one of the film's highlights. As in ELIZABETH, director Shekhar Kapur doesn't restrict himself from using artfully constructed shots that aren't normally used in period dramas. It's a modern retelling of history, and Kapur and his director of photograpy, Remi Adefarasin, aren't content to let the film have the standard look of many films in the genre. Costume designer Alexandra Byrne follows the same logic, creating stunning dresses for Elizabeth that draw inspiration both from modernity and the time period. If Blanchett weren't such a gifted actress, the gorgeous costumes might threaten to overtake her as the star of the film.

Disappointing
Purchased one of these from musicmagpie a few months ago intending to watch it on a rainy day. However when I went to play it, found it to be a HD DVD which I am advised is old technology and will not play on modern DVD players. musicmagpie didn't want to know as I was passed the 60 days cut-off limit. Just tried to buy another described as a DVD by musicmagpie. Turns out that this, too, is a HD DVD and will not play. Looking back at musicmagpie's advert, the area which would indicate it to be a DVD is concealed in the insert. I also notice that there is another purchaser complaining that his could not be played too. musicmapgpie should take much greater care in describing properly items for sale but surely at least three mis-sales is not a coincidence, is it?
