Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Paul Evans I feel a little naughty watching this right now, as ITV are currently transmitting Jenna Coleman's portrayal of Victoria, but I had to see it. A totally sumptuous film from start to finish, it looks sublime, the costumes are meticulous and opulent. Ir is easy to see the involvement of Julian Fellowes, it has a lot of historical accuracy, many costumes are exact copied for instance. The location work too, is simply first class.I know during its Cinema run, many people raised an eyebrow at Emily Blunt's casting as the young monarch, but in my humble opinion she does an incredible job, an utterly beautiful girl, she has more then enough presence to fill the shoes. Some of my favourite actors here, Miranda Richardson, Jim Broadbent etc, and they are all brilliant, but it's Blunt you can't help but keep your eyes fixed on.The music is glorious, from the very off, we here Zadok the Priest in the opening, and it just gets better.A tragic, but wonderful story truly is brought to life. Pure and raw emotion is captured in this film, the torment of longing and missing someone is beautifully captured, a very human film. 9/10

chriskunselman this movie looked gorgeous and most of the acting, especially from blunt and bettany was very good but it was too heavily edited. i watched the DVD extras and most of the deleted scenes in my humble opinion should have been left in, especially the lady hastings affair. while watching the movie the affairs of state come across as confused at times due to the lack of depth in the story. now i understand this is mainly a love story about the queen and albert but w/people of such monumental historical import the backdrops and intrigues can only enhance even a love story if handled correctly. still, an enjoyable biopic just not definitive.

movie_watcher 1234 As I said on another post, I love period pieces. This one was very good too from a lot I have watched until now. But a bit flawed too. Emily Blunt was a great actress, she did a very good job, but not her best. Now I'm not an actress to dispute other's abilities to portray a character, but as a viewer giving his three cents I just got a little bit annoyed by her constant laughing at some scenes. I don't know the history about Queen Victoria, nor I read or learned about who and how she really was, but from this movie she seemed not that royal-sh. But Mrs Blunt still did a great job though, her laugh didn't made me rank lower this movie. The story was slow, decent and beautiful by the end. The acting was great, Rupert did a wonderful job as prince Albert. He is new for me on screen, unfortunately I haven't seen other production's by him until now, but I'm looking forward from now on. The costume and designer's were great also. But it didn't make me feel that I was watching a 1800's placed movie but a really modern one. Hope everyone understands what I mean.All in all it was good. Minor flaws, but worth watching.8/10

jc-osms Yet another historical costume drama this time focusing on the early years of queen-at- eighteen Victoria and in particular her burgeoning relationship to her adored Prince Albert. Cue the soft focus and romantic music as Hollywood trains its trademark feather-light examination on the UK monarchy, having the too pretty and much too old Emily Blunt play the title role and Paul Bettany much too young as the elderly Prime Minister Lord Melbourne as her mentor and escape route out of the clutches of her weak-willed mother and the grasping, ambitious Sir John Conroy as the latter's controller and alleged lover.Somewhere beneath the well-presented pageantry and pomp, there probably is a good dramatic story trying to emerge but every scene it seems has to contain a resonant phrase or utterance to make you admire the writing, rather than allowing the characters to reveal their true selves with more everyday speech.I didn't like the shallow, showy acting of Blunt and Rupert Friend could play his part in modern dress, so little does he connect with the time and place of the action. Jim Broadbent gives his typical good turn as the blustering King Willam IV but Miranda Richardson shows that she played costumed nobility much better for laughs (as in "Black Adder") than here when she plays it straight, although that tricky German accent might have thrown her off.No, for me this too sanitised, too fawning, too calculating production looks all too much as if it was aimed at either the Academy and / or the US box-office, which I'm not unhappy to see it failed in both respects.
