While many think the character of Thor, as played by Chris Hemsworth, did not get particularly interesting until his third solo entry in Thor: Ragnarok from Taika Waititi, Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor possesses just as much fun as Waititi's film without the need to comment on or apologize for what it is. Branagh's take on the story of the Asgar...
Branagh's latest is the director's most personal film, both its greatest strength and weakness. On the one hand, Belfast completely immerses you in its time and place of Branagh's hometown in the late 1960s, and the construction of the film certainly places you in the mind and eyes of a child during that time, played by newcomer Jude Hill. As per u...
Before Belfast, In the Bleak Midwinter (released in the US as A Midwinter's Tale) was the only film in Branagh's filmography to have an original script penned by the man himself. Sure, he has had writing credits in adapting Shakespeare works, but the story construction and dialogue for those films were by Shakespeare, who is a pretty good writer if...
In one of those instances where "one for you" and "one for me" meet, we have Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of the classic whodunnit novel Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie, in which Branagh plays the iconic Hercule Poroit with what can only be described as a mustache on top of another mustache. He assembled a who's who cast of people. ...
Another small film that essentially takes place in one location is easily the more successful of the two. Peter's Friends takes a cue from The Big Chill in reuniting a group of old friends after a death, in this case, the death of the titular Peter's father. Set at a large English countryside manor, the former university cabaret troupe come togethe...
How does one follow up a lauded debut film that singlehandedly brought interest back to the works of William Shakespeare in the mainstream? Obviously with a neo noir romance about fate and past lives. Dead Again is a complete left turn in the expected trajectory of Branagh's directorial work. Branagh plays a private detective put on the case of a m...
Before we knew live action Disney remakes would be an annual occurrence, Kenneth Branagh made the template for why that would be a successful direction to move in. His Cinderella perfectly understood how to translate the animated classic into a real world setting without just recreating the film shot for shot or altering it to such a degree that it...
The film that kicked it all off for Branagh and shot him into stardom. Watching Henry V, even today, makes you understand why he was seen as the next big thing. Bursting onto the scene with a film this large and assured, as well as placing himself at the center of it, sparked a whole new generation into loving the Bard and reviving Hollywood's inte...
Nobody will ever be able to make a movie like this ever again. A four hour monstrosity shot on 65mm of William Shakespeare's most celebrated play, without a single word cut for time. Admittedly, the execution of every moment isn't always there, and some of the famous cameos (of which there are MANY) do not work at all. However, the sheer ambition o...
Henry V and Hamlet may take up the most bandwidth, as they tell serious stories about serious men, Kenneth Branagh's finest outing as a director is of one of Shakespeare's most effervescent works, Much Ado About Nothing. This romantic comedy nails every joke and sweeping romantic moment it sets out to make. Branagh's want to always overcrank the ma...
