Joshua B @WildSquirrel 12h The medieval battles are staged almost like a cricket match: leaders surveying the field, reading the conditions, and plotting how best to use the terrain to their advantage. The quieter moments at the campsites are intimate, and you feel as though you’re alongside the soldiers. This could have been a great film if not for Robert Pattinson’s jarringly off‑key performance. There’s an obvious irony in casting a French actor as an English king and an English actor as a French prince, and only Timothée Chalamet makes this work. There’s a near laugh‑out‑loud moment when King Henry speaks French more fluently than the Dauphin and is promptly asked to switch back to English. Aside from that misstep, the story feels genuinely epic in scale, and the twist in the final act is well earned. Sean Harris is great; his grounded, calming presence draws you in, much as it does for Henry V himself. See more Victoria A @Victoria_A 23h Great acting. Dialogue was quite Shakespearean though Falstaff was a lot less fun. Grittier take on Henry V. See more Chris P 4d Fantastic movie that was well written with a great cast. Soundtrack also really made this movie. I"ve watched it several times now and it will be one of those yearly movies that i will come back to. See more Matthew P. @Filmcritic123 4d Overall felt bored and not engaged in the story. The cinematography is good. The draw back to me were none of the characters were likeable or relatable which made it hard to root for anyone. Could have used a little comedy imo all serious little fun.
