J’étais passé à côté parce que c’est avec Chalamet. Et puis, je me suis habitué à cet acteur… et j’ai vu cette adaptation d’Henry IV et Henry V Shakespearien. J’ai bien aimé. Peut-être parce que le de Guyenne campé par Pattinson est tellement pathétique qu’il rend es autres plus vraisemblables… J’ai aussi apprécié cette retranscription de la Bataille d’Azincourt, rappelant qu’un ost c’était quelques centaines de personnes et non la manière hollywoodienne d’insérer des milliers de chevaliers. Et n’oublions pas, grâce à William S., qu’il faut surveiller les amis qui vous inventent des ennemis…
Synopsis
Hal, wayward prince and heir to the English throne, is crowned King Henry V after his tyrannical father dies. Now the young king must navigate palace politics, the war his father left behind, and the emotional strings of his past life.

Opinions on 'The King' are mixed, with praise focusing on Timothée Chalamet's compelling performance and the film's deep exploration of power and corruption. However, criticisms include historical inaccuracies and a lack of substance in the plot, which some found slow and lacking in complexity. The battle scenes, though visually striking, received mixed reviews, and Robert Pattinson's French accent was noted as a detracting factor for some viewers.
👍 Chalamet's performance shines.
👎 Historical inaccuracies may disappoint.
