    So in under a minute a guy points out that it's a work of fiction, that most of it is wrong historically as you'd expect a work of fiction to be, that like most movies there's a tiny grain of truth in some of it, and then proceeds to insult the intelligence of teachers by saying that unless he comes riding in to save the day all these teachers will throw away their own education, curriculum, and thought processes and just show the movie to their students as fact.

    You'll forgive me for not watching the remaining 38 minutes.

    I love this channel. While he can be a bit snobbish in his take downs, he also lays out of lot of good historical information and background. The best videos are when he reviews a film or tv show he likes, like Waterloo, Apollo 13, or The Terror. The Apollo 13 video is practically a documentary about the Space Race.

      Yeah, he can definitely come off as a bit of a snob, but I think his heart is in the right place and he is very passionate about history/historical accuracy, which I very much appreciate. I usually prefer his reviews on movies he actually loves too, rather than ones he loathes, but this tear-down of Elizabeth was pretty funny/entertaining and very informative, IMO.
