I went and saw Elizebeth: The Golden Age last night. Awesome movie. A little bit too much in a few bits, but overall the acting was strong, the cinematography was wonderful, the costumes were *sigh* Oh Sooo Pretty, and the casting was great. The historical 'facts' weren't all correct, but they are popular beliefs, so I don't fault the filmmakers there.

The movie is about Elizabeth the 1st of England, and the threat of the Spanish Inquisition ("Our weapons are surprise..."). Well done. They had everything; Mary Queen of Scots, The Spanish Armada, John Dee, and lot's of other things that made it seem quite researched. Of course, having some of the facts worng made it a little hard to believe, but it was still great.

I recommend this flm to everyone. 4.5/5 stars.
