Synopsis:
Reprising the roles they originated in Elizabeth, Academy Award®-winners Cate Blanchett and Geoffrey Rush return for a gripping historical thriller laced with treachery and romance. Joining them in the epic is Academy Award®-nominee Clive Owen as Sir Walter Raleigh, a dashing seafarer and newfound temptation for Elizabeth. The Golden Age finds Queen Elizabeth I facing bloodlust for her throne and familial betrayal. Growing keenly aware of the changing religious and political tides of late 16th century Europe, Elizabeth finds her rule openly challenged by the Spanish King Philip II with his powerful army and sea-dominating armada determined to restore England to Catholicism.

CRITIC REVIEWS
Lew Irwin
Critics are removing a bit of the sheen from Elizabeth: The Golden Age, starring Cate Blanchett in the title role, or as Manohla Dargis remarks in the New York Times, "as David Bowie in his Ziggy Stardust period." Dargis writes that the movie is "reductive, distorted and deliriously far-fetched, but the gowns are fabulous." Likewise, Joe Morgenstern comments in the Wall Street Journal, "When you see Cate Blanchett in one fantastical gown after another, you understand why Elizabeth's reign was golden." But that may be one of the problems of the film, Roger Ebert observes in the Chicago Sun-Times. The movie, he writes, "is weighed down by its splendor. 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." Still, Blanchett receives a polite round of applause from critics for her performance. As Carrie Rickey writes in the Philadelphia Inquirer: "Blanchett commands the screen as she commands the royal navy. Her unforced majesty makes a so-so film worth watching."
