"If I am King, where is my power? Can I declare war? Form a government? Levy a tax? No! And yet I am the seat of all authority because they think that when I speak, I speak for them."

Essentially the Rocky of speech impediment movies, The King's Speech is an engaging, well-made period piece featuring excellent performances, sublime character nuances, a touch of wit and top-notch pro... read more

I was looking forward to seeing The King's Speech all year and now it is finally here! I must admit that I did actually enjoy it more than I was expecting to. It is a beautiful story that is truly inspiring and surprisingly a film that can and will make its audiences cry like it almost made me cry. Admittedly, I never really knew very much about King George VI until I saw this but he has really op... read more

A brilliantly made and incredibly well crafted film with an exemplary performance from the very underrated Colin Firth, whose attention to detail of the torment the real George VI went through is outstanding. You feel very much for the character, which is what you want in a film. Wonderfully directed by Tom Hooper, whose close up shots of the microphone really gives us an idea of just how frightfu... read more

“The King’s Speech sostiene este principio de volver divertida una situación que verías en algún dramita mundano sobre una escuela o familia numerosa pasado a un contexto de grandísimas magnitudes, en este caso la asunción de la corona en Reino Unido, metiéndose con una que otra facción del asunto en la época de los 30’s y dejando una imagen si bien bastante típica en las películas de esta época, por lo menos bonita en la impresión final sin entrar en terrenos que no vienen al caso o en los que de antemano se sabe o se puede suponer que el autor seguramente sea un ignorante (ejem, Segunda Guerra Mundial).

“I had wanted to see The King's Speech ever since it came out in cinemas, and after seeing it I was so glad I did. Was it over-hyped? Perhaps a tad, but you can say that for any of the movies that were nominated for Best Picture. Also, I had no problem whatsoever with its Best Picture win, as along with Social Network and a couple of other movies The King's Speech in my opinion was one of the stronger films of the year.

Many people on here have raved about it being well made, well acted and very moving. I agree with that sentiment wholeheartedly. I respectfully disagree with those who say it is this year's Shakespeare in Love(an unfair comparison in the first place, besides Shakespeare in Love I think gets too much hate on here) or the worst Best Picture winner since Crash(that's ” read more
