Elizabeth: The Golden Age

Rating (1-10, 10 being highest): 3

Quick Rating: (skip, watch, watch when no other choice): Skip

Story Line: Cate Blanchett again as Queen Elizabeth this time facing the formidable Spanish Catholic King's naval attack, while going through elusive romance with Sir Raleigh (Clive Owen).

What's good: Cate Blanchette continues to bring credible performance as the Virgin Queen.

What's bad: It is a historical moment in 1588 when British fights the epic naval battle with Spanish, but the film fails to render such greatness. It probably focuses too much on the romance side.

Bottom line: While the previous Elizabeth (probably the first one mostly) are good movies, this one is average and is forgetable.
