I think it was better than The Departed. And come on, Best Picture isn't the be all and end all of movies. They get it wrong plenty.
NT is Slumdog Millionaire really that damn good?

Like I said earlier, this is just a regular Bollywood film that was successful in America. I find it very disturbing that the wealthy here are fascinated bypoverty (the Academy).

bbuys discounts on movies...suck
Yea I get what you're saying but still IMO Benjamin Button should have won it. Not to take anything away from Slumdog, like I said it was a veryentertaining movie to me. I don't know about it being better than The Departed but that's a different story for a different day

compared to the crap that hollywood has made (or should I say remade) the last couple of years this movie was great.

great movie, but should NEVER have won best picture or like 18 academy awards.
I left the theater pleasantly surprised. But it was NOT the best movie of last year.
I liked the wrestler, milk, and even benjamin button better. I just thought there were some damn corny parts
but it is DEFINITELY worth checking out. It's a great movie, but it is becoming extreemly overrated
It just didn't have a lasting affect on me. I'm not in a rush to see it again. But don't get me wrong it is a very good movie just not the greatestthing since sliced bread

It wasn't a Bollywood film. It was a Hollywood movie with Indian actors. Foxlight Films was the distributor. The director is the guy who did Trainspottingand other popular movies.

It was a shout out to Bollywood.
Most Bollywood films have a musical score/dance incorporated in their films.

I think that it was pretty good but it did win a lot of awards. Not as good as City of God though. Buy that before you buy Slumdog

Best movie I seen this year. Not the best of all time but at least worth a mention.

I dont think it was better than the Departed but that may speak more to the type of movies I like. It's def. worth owning imo...but again, that may dependon the type of movies you like and what type of movies you consider worth buying. Rewatchability of a movie like Slumdog will probably depend on yourindividual taste in movies. it's a great movie though...def worth at least a rental.

I don't think this is better than the departed. The departed is far from perfect but has MUCH more replay value
and city of god is TWICE as good as slumdog. I mean it's twice as good as MOST movies

What does them underpaying the kids have to do with the movie being good?
If the movie sucked and the kids were under-paid, it would still be an unjustice to them. Same thing if the movie was a masterpiece.
Bottom line: Don't think the movie is great JUST BECAUSE you think the kids were under-paid.

very interesting and intricate movie. very good imo, giving it the 'best picture' award may be a stretch; but it's definitely worth seeing.

Me and my girl got it from a Redbox last week. It's insanely overrated, but it's still good. It's definitely worthwatching.

I just watched it yesterday and thought it was a very good movie. I'm still a little confused on some of the parts. How did he end up on the millionaireshow and what did the end where it said "it was written" meant?

"It was written" like in his destiny.
Watched it for the first time a few days ago and I think it's pretty overrated. I mean it's good and all but not best picture good.
Latika looks gorgeous though

overrated cause the ending sucked. the movie seemed more like a disney film because everything worked out in the end and they lived happily ever after.
