My immediate gut reaction is that I was torn, and wanted to like it more than I did. Or rather, I was set on loving it and only liked it. Part of it was probably that I have the full play so fresh in my mind - I think I need to watch it again now that I know what to expect. There were parts (especially in the Agincourt battle) that I found jarring, where I could see what the director was going for but that just didn't work for me.
Random thoughts:
I thought Tom Hiddleston worked much, much better as King Harry than as the rogue Prince Hal! There were moments of pure perfection.
Loved Pistol.
Henry's message to the Dauphin after he receives the tennis balls remains one of my favourite speeches in the play.
