Tyson D. @Spudsprout 1d (Overall Rating: 3.67/5) (Good) ----- (Cinematography/Atmosphere: 3.5/5) I feel like the period was protrayed well and the brutal aspect of heavily armored men in a mud bowl in absolute chaos was likely portrayed well. Aside from Agincourt I felt the rest was ok. --- (Storyline/Plot: 3.5/5) The story was engaging although I'm sure there were liberties taken with some of the historical context. What was on screen was intriguing enough to stay invested. --- (Acting: 4/5) The acting in my eyes was well done and I did not see any weak performances. Very solid, very good all around. --- (Character Quality: 4/5) The characters were written very well and were all believable. Every character was interesting and held their own when on screen. --- (Entertainment Value: 3/5) The pacing is somewhat slow. The portrayal of chaos in the battle scenes shines through. Definitely more of a drama/political intrigue rather than action movie which to be fair is how the film is listed. --- (Expectations vs. Reality: 4/5) This rating is based off my second viewing of the film however when I first watched it I went in with a very open mind and was not disappointed with the film. I do wish there were a few more battle scenes because they were done so well. See more Joshua B @WildSquirrel 2d 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 3d Great acting. Dialogue was quite Shakespearean though Falstaff was a lot less fun. Grittier take on Henry V. See more Chris P 6d 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 Feb 13 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.
