Absolutely amazing

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I started watching it because of its reputation and its cast. I switched it off after half an hour and watched a John Wayne war movie instead because very little happened in "The King's Speech". The dialog, at best, was tepid and the background music was awful.Like other reviewers have noticed, there's a lack of colour. It's as if the budget allowed the set and costume designers to use only blue, black, and brown with a sprinkling of white.And, like other reviewers have commented, the performances were disappointing.I got the impression that whoever approved the production of this film thought that because "Downton Abbey" was a hit, anything that is about the British aristocracy or monarchy would be one as well. It didn't work with me, though. I got bored with DA and stopped watching during its third season. Similarly, I stopped watching "The King's Speech" for the same reason.How this movie managed to win the Best Picture Oscar is a mystery to me.

Great "story", incredible acting and delivery, the serious tone of the movie is peppered with an underlying sense of humor, the mise-en-scene is awesome, a definite must-watch! Its one of those movies that lets a viewer really connect with the characters, one is convinced they are playing themselves, not roles. My only regret is that having seen it, I'll never be able to experience the first-viewing again. More than recommended!

Great movie, driven by a great cast.Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush are excellent as King George VI and
Lionel Logue respectively, and both deserve their Oscar nominations.
Great performances from the supporting cast too - especially Helena Bonham Carter (as Queen Elizabeth), Guy Pearce (as King Edward VIII) and Michael Gambon (as King George V).Direction is flawless: pacing is spot on, story flows well,
cinematography cannot be faulted. Script is solid.Not the best movie of 2010/11, no matter what happened at the Oscars,
but one of the best.
