[Completely dilatory post, but nonetheless...]

68%? lol, take that Tom Hooper.

Karma is a b****. This one, sir, is for stealing Best Picture from the Social Network back in '10. I honestly did think Les Mis was going to be a superb movie that I would hate loving.

Thankfully, doesn't seem like I'll be having that problem! Still, kudos to Hooper for trying out something new; sorry it doesn't appear to have worked out to the desired extent.

Social Network is a great movie but King's speech deserved to win, IMO.

Regardless of which movie is better, why would it be Hooper's fault that his won? He didn't force the Academy to choose...so visiting "Karma" on him is silly.

That said, Hooper's direction is the biggest weak link in Les Mis. I liked the film, and wonder what it could have been in the hands of a director who wasn't so in love with close-ups shots and who knew how to direct musicals.

The Social Network better than The King's Speech? Not in your wildest dreams.

TSN got better reviews. Check the RT pages.

Because a 1% difference in the "freshness" of two films is certainly an accurate method to determine that one film is better than the other? Idiot. The King's Speech was far superior in every way, but even if you enjoyed TSN more, your "argument" is made of sawdust.. stop copying and pasting.

Okay, no need to get nasty here. Let's look at the numbers:

-9 vs. 8.6 average rating from critics, in favor of TSN
-100% vs. 97%, 9.5 vs. 9.2 from top critics, both in favor of TSN

Look, those aren't those huge differences, so understandably choosing between the two comes down to taste. But for some absurd reason, you claim "The King's Speech was far superior in every way" -- the numbers don't add up to that conclusion, Ryan.

"The king's speech" was much better than "The Social network"...

While I enjoyed The Social Network very much, I think The King's Speech deserved to win Best Picture.

I'm under the belief that The Social Network deserved to win Best Picture (though I really enjoyed The King's Speech regardless), but I'm not posting bitter topics on a message board bashing a movie with only a few reviews. Bravo for maturity.

Thanks so much, Jamie, for continuing to post these great reviews...much appreciated! 2 questions: Where are you getting the links from? And how do you know the above review is 5 stars? When I went under it, it didn't have any stars...just the review. Again, thanks though for keeping us "in the loop".

Also sorry - TSN was a waste of two hours of time with people you didn't want to know. TKS may not have been perfect, but it is a film I would watch several times over and that makes it the Best Picture of the two.

LOL, indeed, Zach!!
This film is getting TONS and TONS of reviews from critics, journalists, etc., across the globe saying it's "the best film of the year", "a masterpiece", "a dream of a film", and even Jay Weston, from the Huffington Post, (someone in the business for 50+ years) calls it "maybe the best movie I have ever seen". They just haven't been allowed to be published yet because of the embargo..."it doesn't appear to have worked out"? Yeah, sorry, man, but it HAS. Very much.

Fellow RT commentators: the Jay Weston person Darin speaks of is a restaurant blogger who happens to like this film. Good for him.
