A good attempt

This is period piece does deliver what you expect from a period piece. And Emily Blunt is proving she one of the best young actresses working today. The cast was good, however wasted in some parts. Jim Broadbent and Mark Strong could have been given more to do. The main problem with the film, was they seemed unsure of what angle they were going for. Was this a romantic story of the love affair between Victoria and Albert, or a political drama surrounding the Queen as she learns to be a ruler. The filmmakers attempt to mix the both, and were not overtly successful in either attempt. Though if you are interested in history, you will learn things and it is an enjoyable couple of hours.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Classic Reborn

I really enjoyed this film. In the age of "reboots" and "re-imagining" this is one of the best. Guy Ritchie, who has not fared well outside of London gangster films, has done a great job of bringing forth a story that is modern and classical at the same time. We get the proper English gentlemen we know for the past, and add it 21st century wit, and action. A stellar cast, with a scary villain. Everyone should see this film.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
