    Default Slumdog Millionaire’

    Watched this earlier - still in disbelief....by far the best film Ive seen at the cinema for years.

    With it winning the oscars I was ready to be dissapointed, but omg deserving.

    Best Picture, Best Director, Cinematography

    Go see it for yourself, and do it while its on the big screan - you need the size for effect (lots of closeup / slow shutter speed work)

    I really liked it. Thought the music was really good.

    Look up MIA - Paper Planes.

    Mostly the whole prectibility of the thing bugged me. i.e. you knew exactly how the film was going to end after the first few minutes. The orphanage owner was so obviously going to turn out to be evil. The quiz master was so obviously going to tell Jamal the wrong answer in order to trick him. I was praying that something not-so-obvious was going to happen. E.g. the Orphanage owner will turn out to be a thoroughly decent bloke, the quiz master slips Jamal the correct answer as some kind of double bluff. But, that would require a bit of subtlety - something this film has none of. It's like being hit in the head with a brick. The last question was obviously going to be about the 3 Mustketeers, and so on and so forth.

    It was far too cheese-ball for me. Although the dance number at the end was fun, I thought it was Danny Boyle begging the audience for a standing ovation. Made me feel slightly queasy.

    The idea of a live version of WWTBAM was annoying. The way Jamal's brother turns against him for seemingly no discernible reason was also annoying.

    Those are just a few off the top of my head. If I watched it again, I'm sure I could remember more.

    Overhyped "film making by numbers" imo. Was obviously going to clean up at the Oscars.

    Utter tripe.

    Personally I thought it was immensely enjoyable but hardly a classic of cinema.

    It was good - But guessing the last question made me go from thinking it was a really good story of a persons life to "Oh... Right... Hollywood. Congrats for ruining it."

    I reckon its a great film, i wasnt expecting to enjoy it despite the hype because the trailer made it look a different film than it is.

    The dance at the end was unnecessary though!
