DVD Reviews of The Other Boleyn Girl

DVD Review: Henry VIII
Summary: 4 Stars

Good period piece, exceptional costuming, sets.Good Story, but had difficulty picturing Natalie Portman in the role as the deceitful sister.

DVD Review: THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL
Summary: 5 Stars

GREAT DVD. ON AMAZON YOU CAN GET IT AT A FRACTION OF THE ORIGINAL COST.

DVD Review: Pretty Good
Summary: 4 Stars

Saw this at the theater, first. Not too bad. Good to see natalie Portman has started to act. her amadala was, to be honest, pretty plastic. Scarlet Johansson was good. She has a much better range than Portman. The Henry VIII actor should have been chosen to look a bit more like Henry. Also, the presence of the English King was a bit weak.

DVD Review: Okay, but see HBO's the Tudors for real drama.
Summary: 3 Stars

The drama was weak compared to the Henry VIII story line in HBO's the Tudors. In this story, Henry visits the Boleyns, falls off his horse in a ride with Ann (NP), injuries nursed by recently married untitled mans wife Mary(SJ) who is then asked to come to court (gives husband job), takes Mary to his bed, she eventually becomes pregnant and Henry's eye continues to wonder (to Ann) who teases Henry with flirts yet rejects his gifts. It glosses over the separation of England from the Roman Catholic Church as well as the religious and political turmoil, and treasonous plots other than adultry and thus becomes boring. Ok for a 2 hour rent.

DVD Review: A Better Choice is Anne of the Thousand Days
Summary: 2 Stars

Forget buying The Other Boelyn. A better choice is Anne of the Thousand Days. The story is told with a far superior script, and cinematography. Richard Burton as King Henry VIII is outstanding. Eric Bana's performance pale's in comparison. An extra reason is that the outstanding movie Mary, Queen of Scots is included on a second DVD. It is a real bargain.

Description of The Other Boleyn Girl

Based on the best-selling novel The Other Boleyn Girl is a captivating tale of intrigue romance and betrayal starring Natalie Portman Scarlett Johansson and Eric Bana. Two sisters Anne (Portman) and Mary (Johansson) are driven by their ambitious family to seduce the king of England (Bana) in order to advance their position in court. What starts as an opportunity for the girls to increase the family fortune becomes a deadly rivalry to capture the heart of a king and stay alive.System Requirements:Running Time: 115 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA/CLASSICS Rating:?PG-13 UPC:?043396214507 Manufacturer No:?21450

A tale of two sisters competing for the same king, The Other Boleyn Girl uses historical facts as window dressing for this work of fiction that is entertaining, if not wholly believable. Anne Boleyn (Natalie Portman) is the doe-eyed vixen ordered by her power-hungry uncle to bewitch King Henry VIII (Eric Bana). Her shy sister Mary (Scarlett Johansson) has always been in Anne's shadow; Anne is prettier, more accomplished, and desired by many men. So when the King picks Mary--the "other Boleyn girl"--as his mistress, Anne turns on her sister and schemes to become not only the King's consort, but his new queen. With a pair of American actresses in the lead roles and an Aussie portraying their hunky object of desire, the English accents are all over the place in this period piece with a modern feel. Though the Boleyn girls' mother points out that her "daughters are being traded like cattle for the advancement of men," it is Anne who ultimately throws her slight weight around to bully Henry into doing her bidding. When he begs her to give herself to him, Anne--wearing a Carrie Bradshaw-esque "B" pendant on her neck--counters, "Make me your Queen." Is the audience really supposed to believe that Henry the VIII--the most powerful man in the land--would divorce Catherine of Aragon, separate from the Catholic church, and put England in upheaval simply because Anne refused to sleep with him until he jumped through all her hoops? "I have torn this country apart for you," he hisses at her before finally getting his way. Based on Philippa Gregory's bestselling novel of the same name, The Other Boleyn Girl features an attractive cast and a familiar plot with some icky twists. Kieran McGuigan's cinematography is breathtaking and is as crucial to setting the film's tone as the dialogue. Actually, it fares better: Lines such as "Well? Did he have you?!" sound almost comical. But the sweeping shots of Henry's kingdom and the carefully framed close-ups of Portman and Johansson are breathtaking in their beauty and say what words simply cannot. --Jae-Ha Kim
