Not so bad as others saying... worth a look

Yes, of course it seems very low budget. I saw it in a university class here in Nedelands and we found it very inventive and full with interesting interpretations. Our professor showed differences with Branagh and Olivier versions. I found this one more psychologically interesting, and I recognize much of the computer imagery from Dutch medieval paintings. I like the melange of abstract sound. Some actors were good, Henry strong, Pistol foolish. Boy is funny, like a real boy. I think for learning about the play is a good choice. More scenes of the bad side of Henry as aggressor. Yes it is not the most richly produced, but somehow it feels more realistic. Maybe more for Shakespeare scholars, but I liked it and my friends thought it more fun than the others.
