This version has a more "realistic" feel than the Laurence Olivier film which seems more theatrical, though they are both very enjoyable. A young Kenneth Branagh seemed to be good for the part of Henry V, who was I believe 29 at the time of the battle, and I found his portrayal quite moving at times. Emma Thompson was a believable medieval princess, very attractive but not too "pretty". Excellent acting throughout, and Richard Briers nose was spellbinding.

Not quite as good as the 1944 version with Laurence Olivier, especially the "arrow swarm" scene.

Great film on Shakespeare.

I love this film, the acting, the production and of course the dialogue. Look out for a very early performance from Christian Bale.
