Lawrence Olivier was a better Richard 3rd. Noone can speak or act shakespere better then Olivier.

Ooh, unsubstantiated claim there... You will have to show me considerable evidence that Richard was a 'better' king than Henry (and being popular in the north does not make you better).

It is unfair to compare them, considering how little time Richard actually reigned for and thus how little concrete evidence there is for Richard's abilities as a monarch, but at the same time Henry's political moves and changes in governance were done quickly after his ascension to the throne and were extremely important in ending the Wars of the Roses for good and establishing the Tudor Monarchy (a system of governance arguably more effective than our own).
