Richard breaks the 4th wall as much as deadpool

Pretty good movie, though the authentic vernacular is a bit painful to translate on the fly.

And for the props and cast involved; at times a very epic war movie for the day.

Suffers for being shakespear though, who really has not aged well.

Richard the 111

I have always loved this Shakespeare play;but Ian McKellan's portrayal of Richard
is the best I've seen.Backed up by a great all star cast including Robert Downey Jnr;Annette Benning;Dominic West;you cannot fail to be drawn in by his performance.
Love every minute of it.
