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.

It's really not.

It's fantastic. It builds to war naturally. It's more brooding than slow.

It develops characters.

I don't know, I didn't even want to watch it, was doing other things but kept my eyes fixed eventually, Just well crafted, well acted, the movies we used to see.

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

Yeah, the movie isn't Shakespeare AT ALL.

There is no Shakespearen dialogue, no resemblance to Branaughs excellent Henry V.

This is just an immersive and we'll acted period piece with great and original dialogue.

I wish they would have kept it more historically accurate, however it would have been better off as a series. A lot of historical events to cover in that timespan.

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

It's more historical than Shakespeare so people should find it interesting as most only know Henry V from Shakespeare.
