content: It might be pretty - I don't know, I found it to be too nauseating. I have read several biographies of Elizabeth, so I was very interested when this movie came out. Forget disappointing, this movie was appalling. Its only semblance to history were the names used. If you're looking for a bit of entertainment with sex and violence in costume, and you have no respect for the reputations of real people who lived and died four hundred years ago, you might like this movie. If you watch it, please remember that, as a source of historical insight on the characters of Elizabeth and her court, this movie is complete and utter garbage.
