Fantastic!

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

The period setting was wonderfully done, even shooting on location. If you are patient there is a payoff for the excruciatingly slow proceedings of the series. A nobody's rise to the favours of the King of England and the famous Boleyn case is seen through the son of a blacksmith Thomas Cromwell. The attempt to make everything seen through such a man is what makes this miniseries interesting and also that same thing makes this quite boring for a large part. The character is given more importance than that he could have got. There are some interesting politics discussed here too but the focus shifts in a way that you are not sure what exactly they are trying to convey. Claire Foy was fantastic as Anne Boleyn, Mark Rylance's performance felt too underplayed and it felt more a problem of direction because he does show glimpses of brilliance.

I've seen all of the episodes of Wolf Hall so far, and I absolutely love Mark Rylance's performance! I rarely have the opportunity to see one program that shows a character from history played so well. Rylance takes us through it all with his subtle acting. At the beginning he's heart-breaking when almost all of his family dies from disease. Then we see his conniving in the background to work with the powers that be. We see him shift from quiet "toady" to a conniving, creepy and dangerous man. The series goes slowly through the politics of Henry III and Anne Boleyn with all the backstabbing in the shadows.We loved this series and hope to see it continue to the end of Thomas Cramner's life.

I don't know what to say about the acting, because when the dialogues are written in a very dumm way and sort of costumed in the way we speak in 21st century, doesn't really matter how they say it, it'll come out as bad material. The music was really bad. The instrumentations where partly according to the time but the composition style was the typical style of now a days series music. It was as many others might say very slow. There where so many scenes which could have easily been cut off. Some might find the movie great but I reckon it's mostly because this historic event itself (Henry and all his queens and treasons) is very attractive. For another vision at the same historic era and events I recommend "The man for all seasons" (1966).

no dialog or very little of it , jumping around with no detail -shallow characters, good acting when they actually had something to say. Im on the last episode and I got to say its basically a snooze fest. if you want entertainment watch the Tudors it may not be historically accurate but at least you will not fall asleep. SO disappointed in it. I mean King Henry has like 20 line in the whole show and Cromwell is so quite with his piercing looks you think when will he actually say something of note. I had just finished watching the Tudors because I would soon be watching this series. I really don't know why it has such high ratings. With jumping years between episodes and little dialog,I think it would make someone who does not know about this story ever want to try to learn about it again. which is a shame.
