Elizabeth - The Golden Age
Aroview: Cate Blanchett reprises her all-conquering role as Queen of England, in dir. Shekhar Kapur’s grandiose sequel to 1998’s acclaimed ELIZABETH.
Trading in bombast and formal extravagance over intimate chamber politicking, the always-excellent Blanchett commands full attention as the film’s single, fleeting spark. Dazzles as a flamboyantly mounted costume epic, replete with royal pageantry and an impressive theatre of war, yet will surely be too popcorn for historically inclined tastes.

2 stars (Good Try) She's not a Glenda Jackson but Cate does well and looks the part.The costumes and props are fine but there seems little point in dramatising again this well known part of history. ~Tubbs
