A former partying, priveliged, carousing, jobless, irresponsible, ex-alcoholic son of a former ruler comes into his own and leads his nation to war over a tough, determined enemy and onto victory.... BUT ENOUGH ABOUT GEORGE W. BUSH!!!!
This picture tells a great story, and brings the Bard's tale to life in a fantastic way... Kenny Branagh's best work to-date. The battle scenes and ambitious dialogue are the real power behind this carefully woven and crafted tale. It is always extremely difficult to both act and direct. But Branagh pulls it off magnificently here. Shakespeare on the big screen can get a little messy, although some scholars admit this is the medium Shakespeare would've wanted, i beg to differ. However, this film goes a loooong way in proving me wrong.
