Anyone ragging on Kings Speech never saw it. How can you even have an opinion on a film you didn't see? Talk about ignorance. The film had it all, action, drama, suspense, comedy, there was something there for everyone. Maybe it was just too complex for you guys who try to argue that Transformers or whatever flavor of the month piece of garbage should be nominated for best picture. That's exactly right. +1 Karma |

Maybe its not their type of film, everyone has a genre they favor more, and a genre they generally don't like, so it doesn't make them "stupid" and "immature" at all. |

I tend to like all walks of film, from genre heavy films to Oscar nominated stuff, but I actually don't care for The King's Speech or The Iron Lady. Sometimes stuff like that becomes too much of "Oscar Bait". Boring films that somehow get more recognition at the awards than other, much more deserving films. They're boring to you, not to others. I enjoy those films A LOT. I would rather see a film like King's Speech or Iron Lady showing how an actor really gets their role, over a movie like Inception that's a lot based on what they do with effects and such, over full character development. These are the type of movies that people used to watch before everything exploded. This reminds me of that thread calling Citizen Kane boring. I guess I just prefer edgier films like Drive and Shame opposed to more traditional films like The King's Speech and The Iron Lady. Looking back I've also noticed that I tend to enjoy films that I can relate to more. I like flawed, every day people that are going through the daily struggle. Part of the reason why The King's Speech bored me to death was because I just couldn't care for Firth's character. I won't discredit the performances, but the story just wasn't working for me. Wasn't a huge fan of The Artist either. I liked it, but I thought it was rather gimmicky. PS: Citizen Kane is AWESOME. |

The Artist, along with Inception, The Social Network and The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford are the greatest films to be released in the last five or so years.

Loved Inception, one of my favourite films ever, could not get into the Social Network, stopped watching when Justin Timberlake came into it |

Loved Inception, one of my favourite films ever, could not get into the Social Network, stopped watching when Justin Timberlake came into it See I found Inception no more than a mere action flick that, as Nolan does so well, got such praise due to its ability of making its audience to feel smart. Nolan's direction was Grade A as always, but that doesn't really facilitate the fact that the plot was filled with holes. Great piece to see in the cinema given it's 'epic' feeling, awesome score and action sequences. But, I still felt it's plot revolved way too heavily on this completely nonsensical gimmick, largely so Nolan could give us that contrived, 'philosophical' ending. More I think about it, more this applies to The Prestige as well (I once creditied this as Nolan's best). Good films, but when you really delve deeper, you see they're lacking the substance that so many like to credit them for. Now Memento... brilliant. Social Network, I loved. can't believe you disliked Timberlake in it, I thought his character was the most watchable of them all! But, as far as Fincher last few flicks, I might have to give the edge to Dragon Tattoo. |

Any movie can be good or bad..doesn't matter what style it is. I hate comic book movies a lot, always have & always will. However, there are exceptions. Hellboy, Constantine, & The Dark Knight are 3 movies that I love. Graphic Novel/Comic -- close enough. Anyway, I like all kinds of movies & anything can be worth watching IMO.
One of my favorites is AMADEUS & that could easily be thrown in King's Speech category, but it's an incredible film.

There Will be Blood drove me nuts. I love Daniel Day Lewis, and he was amazing, but I did not enjoy the movie at all outside of just watching Daniel Day Lewis be crazy.

Nothing wrong with Timberlake i like him as an actor but by the time he finally got into the film i couldn't be bothered continuing watching, just didn't keep me hooked. I've got Memento on dvd too, had it about 18 months, still haven't watched it |

History buffs would go see movies like The King's Speech and The Iron Lady. Just because these movies don't appeal to you doesn't mean you have to like them.

I love movies like The King's Speech. I love well directed movies with great acting. I'll take them over the non-stop action stuff that is usually really bad.
