You have officially gone off the deep end when you start comparing this film to "The King's Speech." Compare it to "The Passion Of The Christ" if you like, for the way liberal critics are blackballing it. But it still comes up way short in acting and production quality. And of course, TPOTC had a billion more built-in fans, and the story was a lot better.
:-) I wasn’t comparing the two — I was just wondering if there was a similar release strategy.
