I saw The Other Boleyn Girl(may contain spoiler)

I looooved the book so much. Couldn't wait to see the movie.
I though it was pretty good ,but not as good as the book not even close(which is always the case )
It was more like a life time movie.

I never make any effort to watch the movies of books that I've read because I'm always disappointed, so I'm not surprised. I'll watch it if I can catch it on cable.

i wanted to see it too after reading the book. For some reason in my mind I had the two ladies mixed up. I was always thinking Natalie and Scarlet were playing each other's roles.

I loved the book, but didn't care too much for the movie.
I actually was watching it on a plane and fell asleep in the middle. I just couldn't buy Natalie Portman as Anne Boleyn.

Re: I saw The Other Boleyn Girl(may contain spoiler)

I really enjoyed the movie- but then again, I have never read the book- so I didn't have much to compare it to.
But I thought it was a very good movie.

There were way too many differeneces between the book and the movie. and i would have like the movie ALOT better if scarlet johanson played anne, and natalie portman played mary.

Yes I agree ,but
In historical documents Ann is described as dark skinned , with big brown eyes and moles on her face.

The movie was riddled with historical inaccuracies. It drove me nuts!

I was OBSESSED with the book.

The movie blew-- total disappointment. They left out so many key elements which made the story different than the one we already knew.
