Great movie in every aspect

Rating: 9/10 (2 November 2019)

I didn't see this movie coming and have no expectation. However, this is a real gem.
What surprising me at first is that the Percy got killed in the very first 15 minutes. It is nowadays very rare for a modern screenwriter depicts the main character Henry in this old and effective manner. The movie doesn't have much battle scenes and relies heavily on well-drafted conversations. Some setup could be easily spotted are about human weakness and the payoff are amazing. The last battle scene is not made up of CG but the revelation of the violence and brutalty.
However, The best part of the movie is after the last battle scene. It questions about the nature of war and politics. The King raises the high bar of period war movie.
If you love Game of Thrones (except the last season), you would love This King. The King is also far better in terms of depth.
