The Other Boleyn Girl (2008) User Reviews

In our opinion the movie was boring and long and we agree with user:seaside breeze x's review that it was more like a soap-opera. We felt absolutely nothing for the characters because they were a bunch of self-serving despots. It was really depressing to watch such a useless story about useless lives. The acting was fine except for Eric Bana's performance... ugh.

What are you all sick? This was the most repulsive movie ever made, those girls were sold like call girls to a pimp.

I really enjoyed the entire movie. Not sure why it got dismissed so quickly.

This is NOT a historically correct film in any sense. The novel was part conjecture and some fiction itself but this was WAY over the top! AWFUL---AWFUL---the characters are extremely underdeveloped...I could go on and on but............................:

Not nearly what it could have been . The book ., although fictional in part was so much mor einteresting. The characters so much more interesting. This movie could have been a great film if the book were followed more. I was very disappointed.

Loved it! Thought it was a very entertaining movie and would definetly watch it again. I have read other comments that the girls should have played the other ones character. I don't agree with that. It would not have had the same impact that it gave with Natalie as "Anne" if she hadn't looked so frail and would not have been the same if Scarlett had played Anne, Getting the performance out of Natalie as Anne with such vicious force for her size was great to watch. And Scarlett played Mary so kind and gentle but she was actually the "strong" one of the two girls. OVerall I really liked this movie.

I thought this movie was pretty good but I have to agree with some of the other reviews that scarlett and natalie should have played each others roles. I thought they both did a good job though. I bought the book after I saw the movie because so many reviews said the book was better.

This is a very historically correct film. The costumes are fantastic and the acting is wonderful. Natalie Portman is awesome and Scarlett does an excellent job as the "other Bolyn" girl. Scenery is divine - tragic story but wonderful ending!
