    Henry V has it's flaws, but it's acting and directing make it shine. It could have been a Best Picture movie, but it wasn't. I thought it was overall pretty good.

    a nice adaptation of William Shakespeare, no wonder nobody wanted to watch this movie,'cause the most not interesting plots're in this movie.

  1. The cast - including Derek Jacobi as the modern-dress chorus, Paul Scofield, Judi Dench, Ian Holm, Emma Thompson, and Robbie Coltrane in an effective cameo as Falstaff - is uniformly fine without any grandstanding.

    What works best in the film is the over-all vision. Branagh is able to see himself as a king, and so we can see him as one.

    Branagh's Henry V must, however, be counted a success - it might never be as famous as Olivier's, but it should carry considerable clout for years to come.
