Elizabeth: The Golden Age Ratings & Reviews
MSNBC
Alonso Duralde
But saddled with this dopey script, [Blanchett] is stuck pulling a series of poses and wearing one ornate gown after another.
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
A pedigreed romance, an excuse for Blanchett to bind herself in satin and channel Kate Hepburn.
Film.com
Jonathan F. Richards
This is romantic fantasy, not history, and much of the time you fully expect Kapur, here making his third post-Bollywood feature, to turn his cast loose in song and dance.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
Shekhar Kapur's Elizabeth: The Golden Age, from a screenplay by William Nicholson and Michael Hirst, turned out to be more rousingly entertaining than many of its less-than-lukewarm reviews had led me to anticipate.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
I can almost recommend this film as a great-looking, bombastic guilty pleasure. But the soundtrack is unbearable, the soap opera love triangle -- laughable.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
From its extravagant costumes to its pompous score, The Golden Age is packed with distractions. But the biggest of all is the story itself, which works so mightily to tarnish the queen at its core.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Expect a fast-paced, beautifully mounted and well-acted soap opera with overripe dialogue that plays fast and loose with history -- just like they did in the '30s, '40s and '50s -- and you won't come away disappointed.
AV Club
Keith Phipps
The events beg for Shakespearean gravity, but the only tragedy here is that so little could be made of so much.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
The danger in making a costume drama is that all of it will be as lifeless as wax figures. Kapur escapes this fate by relying on sex and a luminous star capable of being at once regal and alluring.
San Jose Mercury News
Bruce Newman
Every time the camera finally settles on Blanchett's regal cheekbones, it's a relief.
Seattle Times
Jeff Shannon
What compelled Kapur to film half the movie through scrims, curtains, screens and arches? How can you appreciate human drama when you're constantly being distracted by the 16th-century equivalent of Architectural Digest?
USA Today
Claudia Puig
The movie looks beautiful, enhanced by intriguing camerawork and sumptuous production design. But the music is overbearing, perhaps to compensate for the pedestrian script and dull history lesson.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
When you see Cate Blanchett in one fantastical gown after another, you understand why Elizabeth's reign was golden.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Elizabeth: The Golden Age is a Rolls-Royce, car-crash of a movie -- classy, beautifully made and ultimately crushed beneath its own pretentiousness.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
What Elizabeth: The Golden Age finally lacks is something its subject never lacked: a sense of majesty.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
The Golden Age feels like two movies: one a bodice-ripping romance, the other a study in statecraft and power. But these strands, one private, one public, come together in the title character and the balancing act she must master.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
It is a silly film about serious matters, challenged by a multiple-personality disorder -- multiple multiple-personality disorders, in fact -- but more or less saved from pure nonsense by Blanchett.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
There are scenes where the costumes are so sumptuous, the sets so vast, the music so insistent, that we lose sight of the humans behind the dazzle of the production.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Where's the political sophistication that made the first movie slightly more interesting? That was a decent game of chess. The Golden Age is checkers.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Despite good performances all around, particularly the ever-brilliant Blanchett, Elizabeth: The Golden Age is a gilded ornament, speculative and uninterested in much besides this queen's matters of heart.
