The Other Boleyn Girl

[MemphisMasenko]

I haven't seen this movie but I was sure interested in it though cause it deals with world history.
But watching The Tudors and having a movie that came out this week is weird enough. I like Scarlett Johansson, but from the commercials itself it sounds really dumb.
These reviews are telling me that I should just wait untill season 2 of The Tudors March 31st

New York Post: Lou Lumenick
It's pretty hard to make a dull movie about Henry VIII and his complicated love life, but The Other Boleyn Girl, a failed Oscar contender, manages to do just that, with yawns to spare.
Wall Street Journal: Joe Morgenstern
After covering much of its ground at a stylish canter, The Other Boleyn Girl finishes at a plod.
USA Today : Claudia Puig
Can't quite figure out what it wants to be. At times it strains to be a stately period drama about 16th-century political intrigue. Then it devolves into soap opera muck and emerges as a rather tame bodice ripper.

And done, and done so many times it has become trite. Save your money and watch the first season of The Tudors on Showtime.

But if it was these people playing king Henry IIX and Ann Boleyn then I would still love it anyways and went out to see it.

I'm very interested in this for two reasons - I am a history buff, and I think Scarlett Johansson is the most beautiful woman on earth....

I saw it the day it came out -- my girlfriend wanted to see it, she's as obsessed with natalie portman as i am sylvester stallone.

I thought it was good, but not in my taste.
It's odd it got a pg-13 rating with what subject matter it has.
By that I mean an instance where - slight spoiler, you might want to skip the line if you're paranoid;
spoiler - highlight to read: a baby fetus is burned post-miscarriage


plus other scenes.

Not complaining, i love me sex sex and blood, I'm a horror addict, but it surprised me that the movie could get away with so much sex, and a scene including an overhead view post-decapitation of a criminal.







I can't remember what I've said by now, so, serious review;

*I thought it was interesting enough.
*I didn't get bored, and I'm not even into movies like this.
*It had some clever tie-ins to keep it history oriented, ie elizabeth is thrown in there, the old lady in front of me didnt realize until the credits why the baby's name meant anything.
*It had a lot of pwn moments between the sisters (my constant thought throughout the movie; "bitch, i own you")
*Natalie Portman.

-Well. I can't really think of anything I entirely disliked. maybe I'm just forgetting.

but.
hopefully my long rant hasn't put you off.
I ramble.
I don't even know what I've typed in this by now.
