I finally got chance to see this movie. I was SO, SO incredibly disappointed. I hate Portman and Johannson to start with, although Scarlett J did do a pretty good job playing hard-done-by Mary. They didn't even touch on Mary and Stafford meeting, all of a sudden he was just there. Ann wasn't witty enough, Norfolk was pretty dead on, Thomas Boleyn was week and feeble, I thought he'd be more ruthless and ambitious, not just following Norfolk's orders. I loved Elizabeth Boleyn in the movie, in the book she made my stomach turn.

I may have liked the movie if I had not read the book, there were so many gaps it seemed a little choppy and the movie made it look like this history took place over a few months rather than almost a decade.

I didn't like the movie either. The whole thing seemed just so poorly done and rushed. But then, I think I got spoiled watching those sumptuous Tudors episodes, which are part fantasy as well, but at least they are much better executed.
