Title: Dreadful!
Product review: This series attempts to modernize the 1500s and it is hilarious. Dialogue right out of the worst scripts Hollywood put forth, but this is not fun, as those scrpts and presentations were. This is a bore, and Henry VIII had paintings done of him; he was very tall and very fat, but, he was intelligent too, when not letting sex get the better of him, and this Henry is very dumb. The acting, as in part I, terrible, especially this Henry. Stock gestures of thge 60s and 70s when this period was portrayed. No sense at all about the precariousness of life in those days, and the fear of assasination, of untimely death, and madness. All nuances are missing.See Young Bess, Charles Laughton as Henry..anything but this.
