If you remove all the preconceptions that this film is suppose to be historically accurate, The Other Boleyn Girl is actually a fairly decent flick. The film was well acted and both Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman put on strong performances alongside Australian born actor Eric Bana who portrays a believable Henry VII.
I’m not a fan of soap operas whatsoever, yet I can’t describe this film in any other way. Its just one big budget soap with some extra bells and whistles. The Other Boleyn Girl definitely has all the elements for a Daytime Emmy and the plot is filled with enough passion, betrayal, intrigue and romance to satisfy any soap opera fan.
Although the film lacked any real action or violence, it kept me entertained enough to finish it. If your one of those individuals who enjoy a drama filled movie and are fans of a good soap opera, this movie is definitely for you.
