Did you ever see Kevin Branaugh's film version of this play? Great visuals! Derek Jacobi as the Chorus introducing the story, with the sets and soundstages being referred to as to inferior to present the drama in the scope it needs to be told, and then the movie just opens wide, and the best arrow bombardment ever filmed is presented during the Battle of Agincourt. Still get chills watching it. Of course, the last act kind of loses the momentum, but that's Shakespeare's fault....

But pardon, and gentles all,
The flat unraised spirits that have dared
On this unworthy scaffold to bring forth
So great an object: can this cockpit hold
The vasty fields of France? -
