Movie Review: The King's Speech



Why did this movie get such high ratings and awards? I thought it was good, but not to the extent that critics are raving about.

The plot of the story is about the king of England who has a stuttering problem, meets a doctor to help him correct it. The acting was very well done, and the story telling was good - but i still think it was a bit boring at times and there wasn't any "umph" to make me say, "wow.. that was a great movie".

There was a part where the king is told to wear an earphone playing loud music and to read a book. He was able to do so w/o a stutter. I don't see why this method wasn't used during any of his private speeches done by radio.

In any case, it was worth watching once - but i will not watch it again.

Rating: 7/10
