Based on Shakespeare’s historical plays, Henriad, The King is now arrived on Netflix. Starring Timothée Chalamet and Robert Pattinson in the lead roles, this movie revolves around the life of King Henry V.
So, if you still haven’t added this movie as a part of your weekend binge list, here are some tweets to help you make that decision.
#TheKing on Netflix is so beautifully and poetically written it makes me hate the ending of GOT even more. Once again, Chalamet ATE his role.

So I just finished watching The King on Netflix … let’s begin with historical accuracy. I’ll say it’s about 1% to 2% a realistic depiction of the events of Henry V’s reign. But I don’t watch movies to learn history – rather to be entertained and I really enjoyed it! pic.twitter.com/rZBI9W89Es

Robert Pattinson definitely made Netflix’s The King a lot more interesting. This guy can do anything! His french accent, the maniac smile, and the devilish laugh was weird but captivating. pic.twitter.com/DWbmttGucy

Watching The King (2019) on Netflix. Robert Pattison is such a good actor. For better or for worse, he pushes his performances in completely opposite directions from film to film. pic.twitter.com/rc4Mtek3Vx

I'm sad that Netflix doesn't release DVDs of their films so my Rob collection will be incomplete without The King. It also sucks that that means no special features. I would like to see the scene that Rob described that was cut. pic.twitter.com/OEANwDHCuD

Bro, Robert Pattinson is perfect as a 15th century frenchman.
Very funny if you actually speak french😂
The King movie really embodies courage, honesty, greatness and love for the country. The characters live with it. @RealChalamet you’re so great to watched! Your portrayal as KING really inspires a lot of your countrymen! BRAVO! Robert Pattinson you’re legit an actor👏🏻 @netflix

I know no one asked for this but I’m still going to give my two cents after watching @netflix’s The King anyway.#TheKing pic.twitter.com/js6fZRYsmV

So let me get this straight – Netflix went to the lengths to ensure Henry V has an historically accurate scar he obtained from the Battle of Shrewsbury in the promo pics, but does away with the Battle of Shrewsbury in the film by killing Hotspur up front?🤔🤔🤔 #TheKing pic.twitter.com/TSvOeI0TOC

@netflix @RealChalamet The King was an incredible film and I was blown away by the acting. The speech that was given on the battlefield before the fight against the french was so loving and powerful.

Just finished The King @netflix. I recommend. Highly enjoyable. Timothee Chalamet delivers a gloomy haunted brutal majesty. The battle is rightfully chaotic mayhem all bloody mud and creaking armour. Excellent pic.twitter.com/yiiqLRbDRV

Timothee Chalamet and Robert Pattinson were both exquisitely amazing in Netflix’s #TheKing

It’s astonishing how much original content Netflix produces to almost zero attention. I refuse to believe anyone except teens and journalists who tweet “Timothee Chalamet power bomb me into a wood chipper” sat through all of The King

Everyone go watch #TheKing on Netflix right now. It is the best movie I have ever seen. Wow. Just wow. pic.twitter.com/hoZb2R5cB6

Watching Netflix’s “The King”. So: at some point a production meeting decided “Shakespeare’s Henry IV 1 & 2 tell a pretty good story. All we need to do is replace the weakest element of the original, SHAKESPEARE’S FUCKING LANGUAGE, with some bantz & blather & we got something.”

Watching The King on Netflix and Robert Pattinson has just described Timothy chalamet as having huge balls and a tiny little cock. Best thing I've seen in ages!
