    Henry VIII being a monster for two and a half hours, no thanks. At least The Private Life of Henry VIII was fun to watch (and shorter). 2 years 9 months ago

    daisyaday said it all really - the costumes and art direction are first rate, but beyond that the film feels less than the sum of its parts - Burton is a good fit for a tortured Henry VIII, determined to get what he wants at the expense of everything, but the ghosts of Charles Laughton and particularly Robert Shaw loom large. In fact there are good number of similarities to "A Man For All Seasons" which covers much the same part of Henry's reign from a different perspective, apart from the dialogue which is gripping in Robert Bolt's play and screenplay - here it is quite pedestrian, and apart from a few scenes fails to really burst into life. Geneviève Bujold gives a passionate performance as Anne Boyeln, Anthony Quayle is a brilliant Wolsey and John Colicos a suitably sneaky Thomas Cromwell though. 12 years 1 month ago
