Review

Epic Branagh-ness! A representation of Branagh's directing debut and his first really big great movie. Absolutely perfect production, perfect cast. However, there is one scene that doesn't quite make sense: its a flashback to the pub with Falstaff and he and Hal are talking and then the talking is in their heads and not actually verbalized, its a little wierd. Can they read each other's thoughts? But everything else is great, perfect.
