Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

amanda-schissler Who the heck are these people thinking this movie was great? I think this is one of the most BORING movies I've ever seen. If I could give it - 2937439475830475 stars , I would.

bbewnylorac The King's Speech is a lovely movie that is well worth your time. It could have been terribly plodding and dreary, but the writers inject so much wit and humanity into the story that it keeps you interested and entertained. It's possibly the best (the only?) movie made about public speaking,, and about people who are terrified of it. Despite being a 'nobody' Australian speech therapist, Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush) proves to be the perfect person to treat the stuttering King George (Colin Firth). As an Aussie, super persistent and confident, with an irreverant streak and with decades of experience, Logue is able to deftly analyse George's psychological barriers and figure out hiw to get around them. Rush is typically brilliant in this role, but he's pipped by Colin Firth, for whom the King is the the role of a lifetime. Firth plays him as often whiny and needy. But in the end, unlike his playboy brother Edward (Guy Pearce) he did step up to lead the UK when it needed a steady authority. When the King is walking to the microphone to make his last speech, it's like he's walking to the guillotine. Lionel his therapist really seems to care and is not after some reflected glory. As always, the sign of a good movie is the quality of the supporting cast, and here it's A-grade, including Helena Bonham- Carter as the King's wife, the wonderful Derek Jacobi as the Archbishop, and a sincere Timothy Spall as Winston Churchill.

pauletterich-la After seeing "Apartment Zero" and being bowled over again by his amazing performance as the Argentinean pretending to be British, I felt the urge to see "The King's Speech" again - So glad I did. It was very moving to see Adrian Leduc being George VI. What an astonishing actor. In Apartment Zero he creates a character without a personality. A repressed, innocent that comes out as a total weirdo but we know better. His undeclared needs reflected in Colin Firth's eyes are a prodigious acting feast. In The King's Speech, his George VI suffers from a different fear but it's also pungently clear in the actor's eyes. I think what they both share is a desperate wish to be invisible. For King George that's an impossibility so, his struggle to move forward, learning to be the man everyone expects him to be is enormously moving. As you may have guessed, Colin Firth has become one of my favorite actors of all time.

Sean Payne First off let me say I was Moved to tears by this film, I had no idea that King George the Sixth had a Speech Impediment. this film is British History personified and exemplified and Expounded on upon, this is an educational experience, for mind,s young and old alike Except for brief periods of profanity I see nothing that a child as young as 15 could not grasp, I found this film to be an excellent way to pass two hours, it is also a look in the the early life of Queen Elizabeth. I would put my personal seal of approval on this masterpiece of Movie making excellence. this had an all star cast Michael Gambon as King George the Fifth Colin Firth as King George the Sixth and Geoffrey Rush as his Speech therapist this is an All star Cast Michael Gambon you might know this name aka ( Professor Albus Dumbledore) from the Harry Potter Film Franchise.
