OK, I saw the entire Henry VIII on Saturday. I saw it with a friend, who was a big fan of The Tudors. I closed my eyes every time a torture/death scene was about to start (which happened very early in the movie with Charles Dance).
The Robert Aske scene wasn't that bad. My friend said that the scenes were much, much worse in The Tudors because it was a much longer mini-series.
I agree with you about Bonham Carter's Anne. She is not a favorite of mine either. Emily Blunt as Catherine Howard was very good, and I really enjoyed the scenes she had with Mark as the very menacing Norfolk. Mark was just terrific and so believable, once again. It's funny that he menaces her again in Young Victoria.
