In 1998's Elizabeth, Shekhar Kapur added a layer of suds to his history lesson; the director follows the same audience-pleasing recipe in Elizabeth: The Golden Age. Since the first film, Blanchett scored an Oscar for her note-perfect rendition of Katharine Hepburn in The Aviator, and she plays the preternaturally bemused monarch in a similar fashion. By 1585, Elizabeth I is an experienced ruler about to face two of her biggest challenges: betrayal by her Catholic cousin, Mary Stuart (Control's Samantha Morton), and invasion by the Spanish Armada. It isn't so much that the Protestant Elizabeth wishes to rid England of "papists," but that she wants her country to remain free from foreign domination. Closer to her home, she enjoys a sisterly relationship with lady-in-waiting Bess (rising Aussie star Abbie Cornish). That changes when Sir Walter Raleigh (a dashing Clive Owen) hits the scene. In order to continue exploring the New World, he seeks the queen's sponsorship. She is charmed, but Raleigh only has eyes for Bess. As in the previous picture, Elizabeth enjoys better luck at affairs of state than affairs of the heart, but the conclusion is more beatific than before (and Kapur intends a third installment if Blanchett is willing). Elizabeth: The Golden Age is a rush of royal intrigue, bloody torture, fantastic headpieces, and irresistibly ripe dialogue, like "I have a hurricane in me that will strip Spain bare if you dare to try me!" To Kapur, victory for the Virgin Queen was a viable alternative to sex. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

This movie has been on my to-view list for too long. So now, I broke down and rented.
Phillip II raises an army in Spain to attack the Protestant England, ruled by Elizabeth I. Elizabeth struggles to balance the Catholics and the Protestants in England, and to face off against the Spanish Armada.
The costumes, sets, and scenery are goregous, stunning. I can't tell you how often I would look at Cate Blanchett and think she was Elizabeth (in her costumes, she looks a lot like the paintings ... Read More

I'm going to go against the grain and say that I loved this movie. I didn't expect a clean and accurate history lesson, so I simply enjoyed the fascinating character of Elizabeth (portrayed perfectly by Cate Balnchett), the stunning cinematography and the gorgeous musical score without worrying about historical accuracy. I was not bored at all while watching this (Unlike "The Queen" with Helen Miren) and I can honestly say that I will be watching this film again.

Good, but by no means as good as the first one. Cate Blanchett is, as always, exquisite, but the story line did not go deep enough. They glossed over some major pieces of history.

Cate Blanchett alone makes this movie fantastic. Her characterization of Queen Elizabeth is genius - every cell in her body becomes the powerful queen. Cate Blanchett shows Queen Elizabeth's ability to change "masks" - The queen who holds court shows her intelligence, strength, ruthlessness, yet has a sense of ironic humor. The queen in private shows her emotions, love, and fears. There are threats all around her.
Sir Walter Raleigh (Clive Owen) appears on the scene and throws his cloak ... Read More

Here we have a wonderfully produced semi-epic film, with sprawling scenes... film art at its best; however, it really drags in terms of action.
In a more positive defense of the film, if you are really into historically-based movies, I think you'll enjoy this one a great deal. But like similar productions such as Becket and Anne of the Thousand Days / Mary, Queen of Scots, in an effort to accurately convey the tale the details here prey heavily upon the final achievement.
