The King Ratings & Reviews
- handmem6 april 2026Made me a Timothy fan.
- thompsin3 april 2025It's funny seeing the negative reviews are mainly from female critics. This is a movie for men who dream of being in the medieval period. If that is you, then you will love this movie. It is the best or at least in the top 3 movies set in this time period.
- Mitch9 maj 2025Incredible, very overlooked movie that I'm disappointed to have only seen just now in 2025. I won't say it's a masterpiece, but it's very close, especially in regards to medieval/historical films. It's not an all out war movie, but there's plenty of brutal fight sequences that really do well at portraying how horrific war during this time - very realistically filmed and acted (the sound design is a work of art). I think the film suffered from failing to really connect with many characters. There were powerful scenes and the score/performances really helped with that, but the characters (aside from Henry) all felt like plot devices to just move the story forward. Timothee Chalamet is a generational talent. Robert Pattinson was a scene stealer, and I was really impressed with Joel Edgerton and Sean Harris' performances as well.
- mattyb3522 februari 2026Really solid 15th century movie.
- remii16 januari 2026Brilliant historian recount of a crowning with a pinch of fantasy. The Chalamet and Egerton bromance holds this movie together. The crux of the story lays in the character building of the young king more that the battles. The female parts are left to basically nile.
- 0 126 december 2025I recently watched "The King," David Michôd and Joel Edgerton's movie is loosely based on Shakespeare's Hal plays, but presents a much more realistic portrayal compared to Kenneth Branagh's 1989 adaptation, the latter being perhaps the closest to the original plays. In "The King," the famous heroic speeches from Shakespeare, such as "Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; Or close the wall up with our English dead!" and the St. Crispin's Day speech before the Battle of Agincourt, are notably cut out or changed. Instead, the film explores the false pretenses and justifications for the Hundred Years' War (1337-1453)... portraying war not as a glorious pursuit but a brutal and often pointless exercise in power There are some excellent supporting performances from Robert Pattinson, Joel Edgerton and Ben Mendelsohn.
- Jorge Barroso17 november 2025Amazing, only a bit short, Henry V could definitely make for a longer story!
- Shwaah17 mars 2025Had low expectations going into this one. Was pleasantly surprised though and really enjoyed it. Great cinematography and well-acted by all.
