I liked it. It was OK. Went and watched Dune 1 after it.

The main actor (Timothée Chalamet) was in The King, based on several plays from William Shakespeare’s Henriad about Henry V.

I liked that movie a lot. Extremely historically accurate. The battle scenes were very authentic. The dialog was from Shakespeare, and it doesn’t get any better than that. The character Falstaff (played by Joel Edgerton) was the best part of the movie for me.

I liked Timothée Chalamet in The King. It’s his only role that impressed me. I try not to be biased against actors because of their physical appearance, and I credit actors who don’t conform to the obvious stereotypes to which the studios seem to be addicted, but TC rubs me the wrong way. I was glad that they made a joke about this in Dune 1, when the Jason Momoa character asks him if he (Paul Atreides) has put on any muscle. Paul of course answers, “no.” Timothee at least seems to have a sense of humor about it, but if I were him, I’d be hitting the gym.

Momoa also has enough of a sense of humor that he’s done those commercials in which he takes off the prosthetic muscles, chest and sixpack for comedic effect. I don’t watch spandex movies and he’s not someone I watch out for, but has he ever played a role in which he plays a normal human being?
