I had not heard too much of this film, but had seen the posters for this, so I gave it a shot. After leaving the theater, and I really do not know what to say.
There are a lot of good stuff in this film, but we have some of the pitfalls as well. A great party set and costumes are beautiful. A lot of care and love, taking the direction of art to bring the film Elizabethan Renaissance, full of court intrigues, and foreign ambassadors, who threaten to attack the courtesy of the high seas Thievery character Clive Owen. Visually, this film is very lush and spectacular, but a bit 'limited at times. We are never shown the Elizabethan England, only a "vital parts" that are central to the story.
And as favorite playwright Elizabeth would say, "here's the rub." And here, I think the film is everywhere. This is a costume drama, it's a novel, a thriller political period, it is a military epic, and so on. She even fantasy genre with some slippage of the apparatus of fantasy work has been done. But overall, the main thrust of the film is trying to get all these genres, and tie them together into a kind of coherent and suscint.
The novel, plot, fraternal feelings, the rivalry between the matriarchs, and "Battle Scene" listen back to a time when Hollywood used to turn on the kind of movie with some regularity. But the link between these films and " Elizabeth: The Golden Age "is almost day and night, even though both are fighting for a high water mark in the historical drama.
I thought, "Elizabeth: The Golden Age" is a technically competent production. Indeed, given the difficulty must have been to a few shots I'll give him high marks as a pure production efforts. But as a film that I 'I just thought it was a little too ambitious and too indulgent to the end.
This does not mean I did not much like the film because I did it. Elisabeth Blanchet is a strong woman, full of enthusiasm, energy and a little angry, as it at his opponent. But it is also a head of state, internationalist, and of course the Queen of England. She can not wear many hats. She wears a crown. Even so, and that's where the film falls a bit short, it has not demonstrated a consistent ability to control everything. It shows that it is responsible, but does not react as it is supported only at the end.
The film was directed and targeted at women (which I did not expect), and so much energy has been devoted to the public, the ornaments appropriate emotional. Together with some so-so for the CGI action sequences (and the horse with a permanent, that I almost had to laugh), you wonder where the film has brought. Elizabeth does not record in England for its emotional power alone, yet this is the main movie. It 'a real disappointment in this way.
The film is a double edged sword. There are many decent action and some special performances of the drivers. Married to a little extravagant artistic director to give life to the palace, the throne room, rooms, and the galleons in the sea, and one can easily see that it must be a first-rate production. However, some logical flaws in regards Blanchet character conspiring with some of the failures to remember the story of a better film.
As a guy I can only say that it's not something I can still see and I'm not sure I recommend it to female audience. But if you do not mind your period dramas along the edge of the battle high, so splurge on a ticket and see what "Elizabeth: The Golden Age" is about.
