Title: Do not buy this film unless?
Review: This movie may rival Ishtar and March or Die as among the worst movies of all time. You will not see much in the movie unless you collect Elizabethan movies or unless you have a part of your portfolio dedicated to the worst movies. This makes The Tudors seem like Shakespeare.The Golden Age is poorly written, badly acted and predictable. It does not deserve to be equated to March or Die. It is as inane as Ishtar. Blanchett, Rush, etc. play the same predictable roles as in any piece of this genre. It is hackneyed and trite.I am a history moviefile. I love every movie of this genre, but this is often unwatchable. It is formulaic. It would be a waste of time except it is a beautiful film in terms of cinema and costume. Maybe it would be better as a silent film or if watched in a foreign language.
