    Robert Shaw is so wicked as Henry, you forget He is a genius. But great example of what it takes to be a SAINT.
  • February 25, 2007
    Some of the best dialog that you will ever hear in a film. Too often, dialoge is not used in movies these days.
  • February 25, 2007
    Great dialogue and debate. Some Great insights into sacrificing for what you believe in. And the loyaltys of Man.
    The Whole culture is pyscodic, with a few men seeing clearly.

  • February 19, 2007
    Classic peiord drama/morality tale that is clearly based on a stage-play; the acting and dialogue are expertly done, but action junkies will find it rather uneventful.
  • January 5, 2007
    Undoubtedly the best saint movie.
  • December 28, 2006
    This film has effected my life more than any single movie.

    This movie was fascinating. I didn't actually think I'd enjoy it as much as I did, but the dialogue is beautifully crafted. It didn't surprise me to learn that it was based on a play. It all centers around the dialogue. It was fascinating, given that it's so highly focused on mor...( read more)al values and private consciences as well, something that's not really given a lot of praise in the entertainment industry these days. Even in places where I disagreed with Sir Thomas's beliefs, I had to admire the steadfastness with which he held to those beliefs. Pressure from the government couldn't shake him from what he believed to be right. Quite an interesting story... I'd love to see it on the stage some day.

    Robert Shaw completely cracks me up in this movie. Oo oo and Orson Welles is in here too. A lot of speechifying but some of the best ever committed to the screen.
  • September 25, 2006
    Superb acting all around. It's a very well-made movie about a man of the law who is caught between the letter of the law and his own conscience. More doesn't set out to be a martyr; he loves life, his family, and his books, but in the end he has to stay true to himself.
  • September 6, 2006
    Good classical values! Outstanding!
  • August 5, 2006
    The movie is based upon the extraordinary life and death of Sir Thomas More. A must see for Scofield's performance if nothing else.
  • June 26, 2006
    One of Robert Shaw's very best performances.
  • June 21, 2006
    Plainly a good movie.
  • June 15, 2006
    BOOOOORING (had to watch it in school)
  • June 4, 2006
    worst book ever. .. EVER!
  • April 10, 2006
    This is one of my all-time favorite movies! Sir Thomas More is an excellent example of how men today should be- steadfast, noble, and intelligent. Although it looks dated, the message is still relevent today.

    Henry VIII, comedy relief, genius!
