4.0 out of 5 stars Take a chance on the Tudors 17 Jan 2008

By Geoffrey Swayne

Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase

I hadn't watched the series when originally aired, but bought the series on recommendation from friends.

Well long story short my girlfriend and I put the first disc in, and watched all four episodes, and we're quite quickly consuming the rest of it :)

Well cast through out, and with strong primary and sub plots. The quality of the picture is outstanding on Blu-ray and is a clear step-up from conventional DVDs...
...unfortunately that just points out some of the cheapness of some of the CGI buildings, as well as some other lacklustre props. Luckily though, I'm not quite shallow enough for that to both me!

A note for the easily offended: there is fair amount of swearing, a healthy portion of nudity, and frequant bouts of high definition nooky ;)

All in all a good one for grown-ups but don't give it to the kids as an aide to their school homework!

4.0 out of 5 stars Historical innacuracies - yes! But what a romp! 18 Dec 2007

By Rosie Girl

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

Yes, its true, there are numerous historical innacuracies, but truly, do these really matter and affect the viewing pleasure? No! Not for a second. This is entertainment, pure and simple. Yes, a lot of it is fiction but its still fantastic viewing - the sets, the costumes, the casting - which are all fantastic. I read many reviews on this DVD and some nearly persuaded me not to buy it as I hadn't seen any of the BBC2 episodes. Now, I can't wait for the next series - its addictive. Poppycock to all those purists who just can't see good dramatic TV fiction for what it is. I say, sit back and enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beware: Highly Addictive! 16 Aug 2008

By H. Pope

Format:DVD

As a history student people assume I will be constantly annoyed by the historical inaccuracies that feature relatively frequently throughout this series but I honestly couldn't care less! The casting has been well done (I doubted Jonathon Rhys-Meyers at first but he becomes an excellent Henry VIII in my opinion) and the seductive and dramatic plot had me hooked from the first episode.
Can't wait for Season 2!

5.0 out of 5 stars GUTTED THAT I HAVE TO WAIT TILL 2008 FOR SEASON 2! 22 Sep 2007

By Terri from the US

Format:DVD

I won't go into specific plotlines since that could take all day. However, if you realize while watching it that they have taken a bit creative license with some of the facts, then you will enjoy it much better. The acting is SUPERB. I really wasn't sure about the casting of Rhys Meyers, a very average Irish actor I have only seen in "Bend it Like Beckham". But he quickly won me over. He truly commands the screen, is petulant when it calls for it and really makes you beleive he is Henry. The actress who plays Queen Katherine is also brilliant. The sets and costumes are lush and beautiful. You almost feel like you were transported back 500 years ago! The storyline moves along very quickly and at the end of the season, really left me wanting more - I was completely hooked and cannot wait till 08 to see season 2. There are however, factual errors in the script that I won't detail here - if you didn't notice them while watching, then I won't disappoint you by pointing them out now. If you enjoy period movies and television, then you will ADORE the Tudors.

4.0 out of 5 stars not as inaccurate as critics say it is 6 April 2011

By Amazon Customer

Format:DVD

There are many inaccuracies mostly with appearences and small details. But this is the most detailed portrait of any historical character ever to be on tv. Someones entire life covered in 30 + series in unprecedented detail. The BBC equivalent are more innaccurate because they ommit so much. But this series leaves almost nothing out regarding the actual events. Overall the history is accurate in my view and broad thrust of events is true!

Meyer looked nothing like the king but certainly in my view captured his violent, devious, vindictive, vain character far more effectively then any other portrayal of Henry V111 on TV or film!

The portrayal Catherine Howard and the events leading up to her execution was in my view pin point accurate and in far more detail then say BBC 6 Wives of Henry V111. The negotiation over the divorce of Catherine of Aragon was covered in nearly half a dozen show in unprecedented detail and accuracy.

Some of the inaccuracies are rather unneccesary such as Lady Rochford being beheaded before Catherine or Wolsey committing suicide (he would have been executed anyhow!)

I need not add to the fact that series is visually stunning and gorgeous to look

I am a history buff and do know alot about Henry V11. You would be hard pressed find a more detailed account in any history text book

4.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous! 13 May 2010

By Rumplestaleskin

Format:DVD

This is probably one of the best televsion productions to look at Henry VIII despite the numerous historical inaccuracies.

The most annoying inaccuracy is the merging of Margaret Tudor and Mary Tudor in one character but otherwise the attention to detail is awesome. Hirst successfully higlights the minutiae of Tudor life interspersed with the splendor of the court.

Hirst's characterisation and casting were his trump cards as the acting is first rate. Jonathan Rhys Meyer doesn't rival Henry VIII in stature or looks yet manages to convey the most convincing portrayal of the monarch ever seen. The cast is very strong: Wolsey (Sam Neill), More (Jeremy Northam), Cromwell (James Frain), Katherine of Aragon (Maria Donnelly) and Anne Boleyn (Natalie Dormer) are all played superbly! Hirst triumphs in his characterisation of these key figures: they are not portrayed according to stereotpe or in a one dimensional manner. The portrayal of Cromwell, in particular, is a welcome one.

Even if you are not interested in British History or the Tudor period, give it a go anyway. It's a great bodice ripping romp with the added bonus of being well written, brilliantly acted, well shot with amazing attention to detail. This series is so gripping that, should you buy the series, you will wearout your DVD through overuse!
