    At first glance you may just think Natalie Portman deserves that ending. But it is not difficult for you to have sympathy on her instead. Actually, the whole Boleyn family and even Henry VIII are losers under the power struggle. Ambition and pride destroy all. The price is just too expensive.

    I read the book and also watched the movie. The story of the book and the movie are basically the same but there are still some BIG differences between them. I was attracted by the movie trailer and then I go into the book and the film as well. The actors' performances are good and I appreciate the acting of Natalie Portman. Anyway, the movie itself is not bad but it is definitely NOT what I have expected. The film runs quite fast and I think it is a little bit hurry up to the ending. I think some of the issues are not well presented during the movie. Of course I understand there is time limit for movies...but still...I am a little bit disappointed. If you are really interested in the story of Boleyn girls, I suggest you to read the book rather than watching the movie. The book has a much more artistic story.

    "Bravo! voice of a nightingale!"
    I have sorry but I am not as lenient as the Queen......


    A good historical story, a great cast, and the beautiful costumes are sometimes key to a good movie but poor processed details and an ETV plot were fatal for The Other Boleyn Girl.

    It cannot escape from being compared to Queen Elizabeth the Gold Age and 3 stars are all it deserves.

    The movie itself was ok, but not great. It's really not a good idea to read or start reading the book associated with the movie before going to see it. It just seemed like they made a lot of major changes to the part of the story that I did know.

    Henry VIII movie with a difference - well, from a different perspective anyhow. This time the Boleyn family is centrepoint of attention rather than the outlandish king - though intrigue and dictating what females' limitations were at the time very much in the forefront. It also shows that ambition at any cost is not always the best way forward but can lead to tragedy and loss. The story and performances all-round are well perceived and executed and well worth watching despite knowing the eventual outcome. It is all about the journey after all ...

    Christinewannabe47 - This isn't actually a series, Gregory wrote The Other Boylen Girl well before any of her other Tudor books. Her series is called Wideacre. Although I've yet to read Wideacre, i have read all her Tudor books, and her one on slave trading, and they are all fabulous.

    Personally I think the movie ruined the book. It completely misrepresented the relationships between ALL characters, left out countless important plot points, and just well sucked. Plus it totally missed the point that Mary is The Other Boleyn Girl! It made out Anne was. We've always known about Anne Mary's the forgotten Boleyn Girl, We even know more about Little Kitty Howard, and Mary's daughter with Henry (who was by the way not included in the movie) then we do about Mary herself... So how could they misinterpret that Mary was the other Boleyn Girl? And they ruined George who i adored!

    ruined one of my favourite books and favourite historical character. Eric bana and scarlett were barely trying and her acting was not brilliant.
    Natalie Portman was very good tho.

    READ THE BOOK!

    I own the book and have read the book, which turned out to be an interesting book written about a women that lived in the shadows of one of history's most bewildering women (and queen). I just can't wait to see the movie!
