Not bad.
Phenomenal! Great story, well done, and made me laugh more than many comedies these days. As a Canadian, remembering that he was our King too and this is our history too.
wonderful acting, fascinating historical drama
this sensational movie makes you feel real sympathy for the royals who generally do not evoke sympathy. Colin Firth is nothing short of perfect in his depiction of the troubled and shy stammerer who becomes King against all odds and his deepest fears. His triumph is aidied by a speech therapist, played by Geoffrey Rush who is at his finest. Both richly deserve the "crown" at the Oscars!
As expected,Colin Firth delvers a towering performance as the stammering King George VI who initially couldn't speak to save his crown.He is well-matched by the electric and charasmatic Geoffrey Rush as the self-taught speech therapist.Helena Bonham Carter is sweet and supportive as the future beloved Queen Mum.There is a tasty cameo by the great Derek Jacobi as the snobbish Archbishop.Besides drawing attention to stammering sufferers and their dreadful plight;this is a sparkling and compelling film not to be missed.One of the year's very best films!
This movie is bloody marvelous! The acting is top notch all round. The main characters are played to perfection and they all deserve an Oscar nod.I would imagine even The Queen would approve of this movie.
Good historical portrayal but still easy to enjoy as holiday entertainment!

Can't say enough good things about this movie. Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter were all fantastic, the film was historically accurate and great for people of different generations. I hope they all win awards for their performances, and I highly recommend this film!
Truly a masterpiece - subtle, multilayered, moving, and with stunning performances by Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carter, and especially Geoffrey Rush. Who would have thought a movie about a king overcoming a speech impediment could be quite so engaging?
