I enjoyed this marginally more than part 1. I'm not as enamored of Falstaff as so many others supposedly are- or were in Shakespeare's day. There were some good speeches made by other characters and I found the death of Henry moving. I think I'll probably continue a slow ascent with Henry V being better than this... one can only hope.
