      Audience Member A TV-film, that's why. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review william s Wishes to be a sweeping epic and falls short of that but Jones does a fine job in the title role. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting are the ways in which the royalty sleep and manipulate their lower ranks for the throne... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member really wish this movie could be remake w/ maybe a little different approach to the main character, nevertheless Catherine was sooo beautiful here :) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Despite the myriad advances in film-making between this over-dressed/poorly-contrived biopic and that of the darkly-filmed/overly theatrical "Scarlet Empress" made sixty years before, both are mostly horse-drawn vehicles for their respective stars, and neither leaves the viewer greatly convinced that he has seen the REAL Catherine the Great. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member "My dear, I am about to seize the throne of Russia. What on earth shall I wear?" says Catherine Zeta-Jones as the regal title character. This well-made and consistently entertaining, if not always riveting, television miniseries is elevated by an abundance of fine supporting performances.
