The Young Victoria (DVD)

The movie arrived fast, and in very nice case. I watch the movie immediately and it was perfect. No flaws nothing wrong with it. I'll give it five stars.

It's a piece of history! I love it!

One of the best period films ever made!!!! I could watch this over and over again.

This movie is the best. We never tire of watching it!!!!!

This movie is wonderful! It was the perfect period piece/romance. If you love romantic movies, you will absolutely love this one :) Great acting too, true to history. Definitely recommend.

I am a HUGE fan of historical/period/costume dramas; so after viewing the trailer online, I knew this would be something I would be interested in! Having already seen "Mrs. Brown" (starring Dame Judi Dench, and Bill Connolly), and "Victoria & Albert" (starring Victoria Hamilton, and Jonathan Firth- yes, Colin Firth's brother)- I already knew a little history of H.M. Queen Victoria. Despite a couple of inaccuracies (such as Albert being shot), I still found the film very enjoyable. This was only the 2nd film I had seen either of the two leads in. Emily Blunt in "The Devil Wears Prada", and Rupert Friend in "Pride & Prejudice" 2005. Being that both of those roles were only supporting characters at best, I guess I wasn't sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised though, to see both of them shine in their roles (Emily especially)!! My only complaint is that it was over too soon! (But since the title is "The YOUNG Victoria"- I guess it stands to reason.) If you're interested in learning more, I would recommend viewing the two films I mentioned earlier. The cinematography was beautifully done; the locations, and costumes are breathtaking! Also, it's only got a PG rating!!

Of course we've all heard of Queen Victoria at one time or another, or at least I know I have. The first time I watched this movie, I instantly fell in love with it. I am amazed at how much you can find out about her throughout the typical given length of a movie. The Young Victoria is like an introduction, a wonderful introduction to all those who are unfamiliar with who she is, what she was, what she did, etc. Emily Blunt (also from The Devil Wears Prada with Anne Hathaway) plays Victoria extremely well, and so does Rupert Friend (also from Pride & Prejudice with Keira Knightely) as Prince Albert. Amazing storyline. Screenwriters, actors, and the rest of the crew did an amazing job with this one. It is my #1 Favorite movie of all time, definitely a classic.

Movies like this really should get more attention! This was a great story about the life of Victoria. I learned some things about her that I never knew before! The love story is so romantic and realistic. The acting is pretty good too. The costumes and set and the best I have seen in a very long time. Everything is very real to life.

If you love romance movies, history movies or just good movies in general this is a great movie to buy. It has romance, history, drama. I would highly recommend it.

This movie falls short of the turbulent relationship of Victoria & Albert in the early years of their relationship. I was left wondering if I pushed the forward button on the remote when the end credits appeared. Turns out - I didn't. Great costumes, acting and scenery, but the story....Opportunity lost
