Shadiversity weighs in on the inaccuracies of this film:

Basically, if you are hoping the movie would be an accurate docu-drama, then you'll be disappointed. If you were hoping for a Hollywood film with some reasonably entertaining elements in it (and don't care that the only things they really got accurate were the mud and the dysentery,) then you should enjoy it. (I will say that most of the armor in this movie did look kind of crap. Plate armor is suppose to fit you like a second skin, not look like it was made out of tin cans...

Decent film but as a history buff it was bs. They make Henry V look like a king who did not wanted to go war and Henry IV as the war hungry king, while in real life it was the reverse. Henry V wanted to go and kick some french asses. I prefer the Kenneth Bragnah version to this one as it has BRIAN BLESSED

I thought that, despite the obvious historical inaccuracies, it was a visually impressive film. It looked great on my 4K television, anyway.

Techicolor was new, and movie studios were trying to show it off around that time, but still, I'm inclined to favor that as a truer representation of what people looked like (costume anachronisms aside,) over the modern, "He must be a King, he doesn't have shit all over him," muddy interpretation of medieval stories...

Well, I would say the truth is probably somewhere in the middle, the upper classes were probably mostly clean with bright clothing, whereas the underclasses were probably mostly dirty.
