  • Must Go!

    Must go, really!!!

    It's a really good movie but no "Pride and Prejudice" Im sorry this movie was about lust not love. I did not feel the love and the desperation for two hearts to join as one. It was more on who will win, and who will gain more.

    Two sisters fighting over a man is beyond me. This movie should be rated R.

    BUT.....

    Bottom line....Performance and acting was great. I was a bit desapointed at the writtersfor leaving parts off from the book. I understand he/she has to make it interesting and give it some action, but realize that most of your audience are women, and we want the drama.

    The book is one of my favorites. This movie overall was in one word, spectacular. Great casting, and great acting.

    Moving, heart racing, sad, and leaves you thinking.
    Makes you care of what you love most, you don't find good movies like this these days.
    I hope to see more from this director. Next time though a romance like pride and prejudice.

    SHOULD BE AN OSCAR WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The other Boleyn Girl- not that great

    This movie was fine but it didn't have the effect i thought it would have had. I read the book and when i watched the movie, i was totally dissapointed. It wasn't like i had read. The acting was good, natalie portman and scarlett johanson did a very fine job in portraying the two girls, their tempermants. This movie is definatly a rental

    Awesome historical film!

    The craziest part of this movie was that a lot was based on historical fact. It's life or death for these woman. Seduction of the king is everything, and these girls father is willing to risk anything. Women are seen as pawns to get to the king. When no one has these girls best interest at heart, the two sisters are pitted against each other as they fight for the affection of King Henry.
    The movie follows the real lives of these men and women but the film writer fills in their interpretation of what could have happened between the sisters and King Henry. I believe that it's awesome that the author kept the beginning and ending mostly to true events, however the movie did drag a bit. The acting was awesome. 4/5 stars
