Rating:  - the movie can not match the book
The Other Boleyn Girl is a historical novel written by British author Philippa Gregory, based on the life of 16th-century aristocrat Mary Boleyn, sister of Queen Anne Boleyn.It was a phenomenal success. I still remember when I bought the book "The Other Boleyn Girl" at a bookshop at Angel in LDN. I was hooked from page one. That lasted to the very last page. I honestly can not say that about the movie.

Rating:  - Could have been so much better
I enjoyed the book very much, so when I heard that they were making a film of it I couldn't wait.

Rating:  - charismatic but nothing compared to the book

I wouldn't ahve cast Natalie Portman as Anne but I've ... Read More
Rating:  - Ghastly
There have been a lot films, books etc about the 'romance' between Henry 8th and Anne Boleyn but this surely must hold the record of being the worse ever! The book on which it is based is engrossing but the film is so unbelievely bad that I had could only watch it in total astonishment. Buy teh book but please don't waste a penny buying this truly awful movie!
