Shakespeare never wrote all those plays. Nor poems.
All were penned by Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford.
Very handsome looking production that methinks doth protest too much.  Or persuades too much.
Typical nonsense from director Roland Emmerich.
His highlights feature: Universal Soldier, Stargate, Independence Day, Godzilla, 2012, 10000 BC.
He can make em glossy, he can make em gassy, he can make em loud, he can make em preposterous.
With Anonymous, he succeeds on all fronts.
Given extra star because it really does look terrific.

I actually found this to be quite enjoyable. It's lacking in humor but it certainly rips along at a great pace. A common analysis of it goes like this, "a Roland Emmerich conspiracy movie about who the real Shakespeare is is so competently made that you wonder who really directed it, because certainly Emmerich couldn't have."
