Henry V is not your usual talky, intellectualized Shakespearean play brought to the big screen. It is a lively, exciting. And passionate tale that makes this film my favorite Shakespearean piece of entertainment. The scenes, particularly the military scenes, are shot exceptionally well, and the dialogue matches perfectly with the action on the screen. I liked when the King of France sends Henry a can of tennis balls; a sign of great disrespect. I am sure Henry must have told the King of France after he defeated his armies, "So, who has the balls. Now? Branaugh does a great job with the dialogue, as does the rest of the cast. A real treat.
