Neither History or Shakespeare

Rating: 3/10 (2 November 2019)

I'm amazed how many good reviews this got. It's incredibly poor on so many levels.
The storyline is neither history or Shakespeare, it's absolutely garbage. The Falstaff character is about as useful as a chocolate fireguard and terribly acted.
I've no idea why they bothered to have the Battle of Shrewsbury and then not have it and have it decided by one on one combat. That was bad enough but when they stopped the battle of Agincourt to have another completely meaningless one on one combat I finally lost the will to live.
The Henry V character was frankly embarrassing and nothing like the historical character or the Shakespearean one either.
I've actually no idea what they were actually trying to achieve with this film as it's verging on totally pointless on practically every level.
