Things that are a bad idea: watching The King's Speech immediately after watching Black Swan. The fast paced insanity of Black Swan was dragged down by the stuttering, stammering Colin Firth. After sitting through the first half hour I just wanted to shout T-t-t-t-t-today junior! Don't get me wrong, Firth's performance was incredible and will definitely give Jesse Eisenberg a run for his money for this year's Best Actor, but the film just needed more of a lively feel. Though I love Helena Bonham Carter, her role was definitely not worthy of Best Supporting Actress and her character could have played a much bigger role. Geoffry Rush had a nice yet not incredibly boundary-pushing performance. And while many of the shot angles were very different and beautiful, this film was probably my biggest disappointment. It was definitely the one I was looking forward to most and then it didn't live up to its hype. How rude! Overall a decent film, but not Best Picture worthy and certainly not as strong as some of its opponents (cough Black Swan cough).
