Seriously good; wish they would make more movies like this.

If you like period pieces that are serious and tired of comic books, where battles are messy, this is the movie for you.

Its war, its history, its Shakespeare without Shakespeare.

Henry V, a nice different take from what we've seen before.

Heard it’s too slow at times.

Loved this movie.

If you want to read more about the time period, I can't recommend Dan Jones' books enough.

The Plantagenets - the warrior kings and queens who made England
The War of the Roses

Movie was alright. Pattison's accent was not, nor was his character necessary.

My fiance stopped watching it and said it was too slow, but I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish.

I enjoyed this movie as a portrait of the rise of Henry V. But as a fan of the time period, the battle of Agincourt was disappointing. It wasn’t some wild melee as seen in the movie. The men at arms, knights in armor, with pikes and pole arms held a small line in a plowed field between two woodlines. They held the line from was vastly superior army. But this battle was won by the English longbowmen, who rained hell down on the charging French. The movie gave the bowmen two volleys and a passing mention only. Henry V owes his crown and fame to the longbow. The movie should have made that clear.
