I never was big on the divine right of kings n' queens, but as far as entertaining stories go they sure can whip up a frenzie of interest. I just watched The Young Victoria last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Not really good history, yet really great fun to watch the dazzling array of historical figures engage each other in plots n' intrigues. The Iron Duke Wellington, salty old King Willy and the snake oil salesman Lord Melbourne, they're all here to enjoy. The music's exceptional except for the closing credits song by Sinead O'Connor which really does not fit at all... I think I'm in love with Emily Blunt though...ha ha..recently seen in The Wolfman and before that The Devil Wears Prada. Nice twist with Albert taking a bullet for Vicky too! Tons of fun and dazzling costumes and sets to boot! I highly recommend it if you enjoy this sort of thing.
