Chimes at Midnight

A DISTINGUISHED COMPANY BREATHES LIFE INTO SHAKESPEARE’S LUSTY AGE OF FALSTAFF

Henry IV usurps the English throne, sets in motion the factious War of the Roses and now faces a rebellion led by Northumberland scion Hotspur. Henry's heir, Prince Hal, is a ne'er-do-well carouser who drinks and causes mischief with his low-class friends, especially his rotund father figure, John Falstaff. To redeem his title, Hal may have to choose between allegiance to his real father and loyalty to his friend.

    Not my cup of tea. The storyline was predictable and the characters lacked depth.

    Visually stunning but lacked a compelling storyline. The movie was more style than substance.
