I mean, the speech at the end? I smelled Aragorn.


A motivational speech before battle does not make it like Lord of the Rings. Braveheart had one, King Arthur had one.

See, that was when the believability went out the window for me. I wondered why they were suddenly splicing Queen Elizabeth I with Joan of Arc, but oh well.

It's funny. A couple years back, I remember pondering on it being cool if there were a sequel made for Elizabeth because I wanted to see her dealings with Philip II and Sir Francis Drake, but hey, close enough with Raleigh.

The difference is that Lord of the Rings is fiction. I don't think armored queen part is very realistic, but otherwise it looks interesting and I want to see it.

I remember being really into Elizabeth, the first movie, when it came out the same year as Shakespeare in Love. I was horribly annoyed that Gwenyth Paltrow won Best Actress over Cate Blanchett (ironically, both ladies starred opposite Joseph Fiennes, who wasn't nominated for anything).

Anyway, I look forward to this one. Costumes, sets, and such: exquisite. Historical accuracy: optional.
