Great acting from the entire cast.

Rating: 8/10 (31 January 2011)

It's amazing , the fascination people have with the British Royal family and how well films seem to do that have this odd family as the subject. The Kings speech is a an excellent movie that taught me a thing or two about the history of what happened when Edward VIII abdicated and his less confident , stammering , brother took over the royal reigns. It's true that Colin Firth is brilliant in the lead role role but i was as , impressed ( if not more ) with Geoffrey Rush who played his speech therapist. This is such an easy film to watch and the 1 hour 51 minutes flies by. If i have to be critical it is that i was a little disappointed with the climax of the movie when the king makes his famous war address. It looks likely that this film will sweep the board at this years Academy Awards and although it is a great film ii still prefer "127 hours" .
