(Note: Ratings are with an average of 5, 10 being the best)
Plot: 7.3/10
Definitely above average however not substantially so. While the plot did not have any psychologically moving concepts or contraptions, it did, however, boast a wonderful link to the past, allowing us to delve within the world of King George VI in an involving manner. Not only does the film depict the more historically relevant topics ... such as the speech ... it also does well to illustrate the behavior and personality of the king in a more personal guise. Overall the plot sufficed to hold attention.
Music: 4.2/10
Aside from a few classical pieces there were not many musically driven segments. The music was all appealing to my taste in particular, but I seeing how arbitrary that is in nature I will try to stray from bias and simply state that the music was not expertly placed nor awe-inspiring.
Special Effects: --
If there were any, I don't recall them.
Acting: 5.8/10
The acting was well, especially on the part of Geoffrey Rush. While the acting didn't provide much spectator dissension and flowed nicely throughout the film, the cast was not so impressive as to make it noteworthy or to designate it as greatly superior to some of it's peer films.
Dialogue: 8.2/10
Awesome. The dialogue was awesome. Parts of the dialogue was taken from historical speeches, adding a great deal of rapport between the audience and the time setting in which the movie takes place. In addition to this there were many clever exchanges between Lionel Logue and King George VI that could stimulate one's brain in socially complex ways.
Cinematography: 5/10
I didn't sense much refinement in the camera usage, though all of the basic elements of cinematography were clearly present. I'm going to give this a dead average rating because it was so average I really haven't anything noteworthy to present.
