not horrible nor great
Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
David Seidler, who wrote the screenplay, clearly did his homework, and the script is rich with dialogue uttered by the royal prototypes. Though he takes artistic license with certain facts, most such liberties are acceptable. A brilliant Colin Firth leading a sensational cast with Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter.Watching Firth agonisingly stammer his way through the closing speech at the Empire Exhibition at Wembley Stadium in 1925 is a masterclass in acting.
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.
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. Thank you for taking the time to read my many reviews on this amazing webpage IMDb.com
This is a biopic about how King George VI, the father of Queen Elizabeth II, overcame his stuttering problem. Widely considered by all but his father unfit to be king, George is reluctantly thrust unto the throne and into the spotlight after his brother is forced to abdicate. Overshadowed on the global stage by powerful orators like Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini, the King relies on the help of a little-known Australian speech therapist named Lionel Logue to find his voice and courageously lead his people into the most devastating war humanity has ever faced.Above this chaos, confusion, and unrest, rises a weak shell of a man to greatness. Colin Firth is the vessel for that transformation and if he doesn't win an Oscar for this performance it will tarnish the Academy forever in my humble opinion. This is the kind of performance, and film overall, that you leave thinking to yourself that you've just seen the greatest movie ever. I loved every frame of it and every second of it was pure agony. Firth managed to portray the whole scale of King George's emotions and all whilst showing us the true nature of the man's problem. ---Yidioo
