Console best movie i've ever seen.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Jeffrey Burton Actually I would've given this movie an 8 but I find I have to compensate for the idiots who review on IMDb using their personal tastes instead of some artistic criteria. If you want movies to be exactly tailored to your taste MAKE YOUR OWN MOVIE.I also have to compensate for the 'history must be as accurate as a documentary' idiots. If you want precision watch a documentary. This is historic FICTION if you can't understand that within the first 15 minutes of the movie I just don't know what to tell you.Now that I've got that out of the way... This is a well done costume drama. Natalie Portman as Anne and Scarlett Johansson as Mary are just incredible. Natalie shines, especially. The movie is as accurate as it needs to be to tell the story of two sisters set against each other and a family doomed by it's father's ambition, the intrigues of court and the whims of a king. All the actors are great.The story is very engaging and as I usually do with historic fiction, I checked it against the Wiki entry on the subject and found it be accurate on all major points. The direction and art production are also good.This movie got me from the very beginning and I found myself rooting for characters even though I knew how it would end for them.Yes, the movie does have some rough edges but for what it is and what it sets out to do, it succeeds. It's a compelling story, well told and well acted and if you like historic fiction and costume drama, well worth your while.

Rebecca Robinson I have read the book version of this movie at least 8 times, as I really enjoy reading about the Tudor period. I have waited a long time to watch this film and finally managed to, lets just say I am very disappointed. The film has cut out many of the main storyline's found in the book. 1. Mary's relationship with Catherine of Aragon.2. Mary had a daughter first, not a son straight away as implied.3. The illness that drained Anne and killed Mary's husband William.4. The summers Mary spent at Hever with her children...and so on.These storyline's seemed important to me as they built up the character of Mary, we did not get this in the film. Her relationship with William Stafford also appeared out of no- where, they didn't kill off William Carey and I felt this caused some confusion in the film.I was very disappointed in the film portrayal of the book, I will read the book again but the chances of watching this film again are very slim.

Python Hyena The Other Boleyn Girl (2008): Dir: Justin Chadwick / Cast: Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson, Jim Sturges, Eric Bana, Kristin Scott Thomas: Historic film about lust and curiosity regarding Henry VIII's adulterous affair with two women who happen to be sisters. Mary Boleyn ends up pregnant but the King lusts for her sister Anne. Anne's jealousy and hunger for power predictably lead to dark consequences. It seems as if Anne is pregnant three times within fifteen minutes. Director Justin Chadwick is backed with terrific art direction. Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson are fetching and it is truly a pleasure to witness the two perform together. Portman as Anne is driven by greed and power going to great length to ensure her place but met with extreme and fatal consequences. Johansson is more focused despite being played by higher powers. Despite the fact that her children were pleasing, her final decision makes her the strongest character in the film. Jim Sturges plays their brother caught in a dire predicament that bares consequence and perhaps the audiences greatest sympathy. Eric Bana plays Henry VIII driven by lust and greed with two beautiful sisters at his disposal. Kristin Scott Thomas makes an appearance as one of the more adult roles of Elizabeth Boleyn, a countess. Not the easiest film to view but it does convey the consequences of sinful actions. Score: 8 / 10

Bertrand Of course, it is politically correct to nail everything on men in this period of history. It's true some of them had been manipulative, but one cannot reproach Henry for wanting a male heir. One shouldn't forget that these times were dangerous ones, for everybody, men and women alike.No, when I saw the movie, I kept saying to myself : Ann is the perfect slut, using all female weapons, jealous of her sister etc... That such a snake should be beheaded was no Wonder.The question is : is all this historically true, or have the script writers spiced the portray of this lady ? If so, I think Ann deserved what happened to her, considering of course the criteria of this period of history.
