Trivia:
When Elizabeth is shown her suitors, Christopher Hatton stands next to a table with a model of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre on it. more
Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Like so many biopics about Elizabeth, she and Mary Stuart are referred to as cousins when Elizabeth is Mary's father's cousin. In kinship terminology, a "cousin" is simply one whom shares a common ancestor. To be specific, Elizabeth would be Mary's cousin-once-removed but this is not a term that would have been used in the 16th Century and is only rarely used even today. Suffice it to say, referring to Mary as Elizabeth's cousin (and vice versa) is entirely correct and accurate. more

Author: Brent Trafton from Long Beach, CA

Don't believe the poor reviews "Elizebeth: The Golden Age" has received.

While it may be true the film is not historically correct, most of us do not go to the movies for a history lesson. We go to be entertained. On that basis, this film is a winner. It has romance, intrigue and betrayal. It is basically a melodrama.

The photography is great, although sometimes the director gets carried away with the camera movements. The orchestral score in fine, although it is overwhelming at times. The acting is absolutely first rate.

I thought that "Elizebeth: The Golden Age" was more entertaining than any of the "Pirates of the Carribian" movies. If you want an entertaining movie that is geared more towards adults than children, then you should check the movie out.
