Just saw it for the first time.

I mean, shite was good, but wsa it really the best 2008 had to offer? I don't watch many newer movies as their whack IMO

Indian chick was pretty hot though, IWHI. :lol

In conclusion, I liked it, but some of my friends cajoled me into thinking it would be an awe inspiring experience watching it... just didn't get that vibe.

I was just about to attack him for that one, but way to pick up the slack. High5!

Oh yeah, Ghazi, you are an idiot.

I agree with this. I mean, it wasn't bad, but I think it is way overrated. I thought The Wrestler was better.

Didn't really think it was great. The Eastwood flick owned it IMO. Only two I saw.

Slumdog sucked arse!

Mark my words this is the next Titanic. In a few years the Academy will be asking themselves why they voted for this piece of crap.

Its just hype backlash ignore it.

Gran Torino was a pretty good movie, but it wasn't nearly as well rounded as Slumdog.

Cinematography - Edge Slumdog
Music - Slumdog
Overall Acting - Slumdog
Directing- Slumdog
Lead Actor - Torino

I haven't seen doubt, but the Wrestler follows the same pattern as Gran Torino.

I think the only reason the academy resents Titanic is Good Will Hunting. Slumdog doesn't have a Good Will Hunting.

Either way

Slumdog>>>>Chicago, Million Dollar Baby, and Crash

The people who overhyped the movie to you probably had never seen any similar films before and this was their first glimpse at shitty life in the 3rd world. Realizing how awesome it is to be born in America instead of a place like India or Africa can have a strong emotional impact. If you're already aware of how lucky you are, it's just another international movie.

Slumdog was a decent movie but it's definitely benefitting from weak competition.
