This is one of those movies that you avoid just because, there's not a particular reason cause you built it up in your mind that it's not good, although you haven't seen even a trailer of it. Then when you finally take the courage up to see it, IT BLOWS YOU AWAY saying WHERE HAVE I BEEN EARLIER?
The intro and the setting into the story while building it up might take a little while to get you interested in the movie... but don't loose hope. Cause just when you think of stopping the film, the story starts to develop itself and Colin Firth's magic performance starts to weigh in.
I never heard about King George VI before, certainly from now on I will read more about him. See, this is the the beautiful thing about movies, especially biopics. They make you be interested in something you wouldn't have been, have you not seen the movie about that person or about a thing.
The stammer that King George VI had is undoubtedly performed with a great power by Colin. His mannerisms, pressure, fear, attitude, growth, confidence raising up, delivering the speech, getting louder and secured by each word whilst speaking... and the final ENCORE ....ahhhh MIND BLOWING.
This has all the elements that you expect in a film, insecurity, developing confidence, growing confidence and feeling secure and lastly exploding like a boy becoming a man he is destined to be.
Geoffrey Rush on the other hand just like a lead needs a supporter behind him, stand behind him he shall. Geoffrey is known for getting into any character comedy, drama, thriller ... anything. So it wasn't a problem for him to deliver his performance and also catch your eye even though he isn't the lead. His portrayal of Logue was outstanding and a greater push and support of Colin's character and also the film itself.
Ignore the intro, suffer through it cause then it'll get better and by the end you will be satisfied that you watched it.
9/10.
