Negative Positive
Title: great actors-poor script
Review: Cate Blanchett and Geoffrey Rush were perfect casting for the historical personages they portrayed. Unfortunately, the script is such a total distortion of history that they were wasted.If you know any history, you know that Elizabeth was no political innocent at the beginning of her reign. She knew what she was doing and had the sense to listen to Cecil (here portrayed as an impotent fool). I watched this movie in disbelief of its manifold inaccuracies. Particularly distasteful was the character assassination of Mary of Guise.
Is the review positive or negative?
