Branagh has made a hotblooded, lively and moving Henry V that speaks pertinently to a new generation.

There is a great deal of value in Branagh`s version, not least in his own lead performance as a soft, indefinite Henry who defines himself over the course of the play.

If Olivier gave us the glint of sunlight on armor and the wind roaring through the pennants and flags, Branagh gives us the rot, the mold, the wounds and the crusted blood underneath.
November 27, 2019 | Full Review… -
There's a boldness to Branagh's Henry V, which shows off the cinematic possibilities of Shakespeare without a lot of distracting razzle-dazzle.

A stirring, gritty and enjoyable pic which offers a plethora of fine performances from some of the U.K.'s brightest talents.

It might never be as famous as Olivier's, but it should carry considerable clout for years to come.

Reigniting Shakespeare's poetry on screen, the movie is not only accessible to a general audience -- it has enough excitement, wit and suspense to hold its own in the Hollywood fray.
June 12, 2020 | Full Review… -
This is a solidly mounted production, with the contrasts between the finery of the court and the grime of the battlefield as striking as the excellent cast of noted thespians.

Feb 21, 2015It's probably good if you're into Shakespeare. It went right over my head.Marcus W Super Reviewer

Oct 11, 2013The Branaugh take on Shakespeare starts here with the film that had everyone comparing him to Larry Olivier. It is possible that we embraced this first very good Shakespearean film since Olivier a little easily. Branaugh is no Olivier after all and this film is not as good as Larry's in '44.John B Super Reviewer

Oct 27, 2012Good. But too much left out.Christian C Super Reviewer

Sep 06, 2012Worth watching just for Branagh's rousing Agincourt speech.Doctor S Super Reviewer
Henry V Quotes
| Henry V: | And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by from this day until the ending of the world but we in it shall be remembered. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers, For he today who sheds his blood with me shall be my brother, Be he ne'er so vile, this day shall gentle his condition, and gentlemen in England now abed shall think themselves acursed they were not here, and hold their manhoods cheap whilst any speaks, that fought with us upon St. Crispin's day! |
| Henry V: | I pray thee take my former answer back. Bid them achieve me than sell my bones!" |
