I seriously saw this film, and automaticly loved it. Now i dident get the chance to catch this it the theatres but after seeing the oscars and it winning best picture, I thought I should see it. So I did and you know what, I loved it. Let me say that you have never seen something like this before. Its very different but In a very good way. Anyways, to the point this is a Welldone movie. It deserved the oscar. Let me put it in that way.

Don't get me wrong. Slumdog Millionaire was a good film, but in its own way. The film style was very unique and unlike anything I really had ever seen before. I would recommend it to any movie fan but really do not have much to say about it. Slumdog Millionaire for me wasn't really a movie I would watch more than once or twice...

The most moving and astonishing movie I've ever seen in recent years. Slumdog Millionaire actually caught me by surprise because I really didn't know what to expect from it. I thought it was going to be an uninspiring storytelling but I was wrong. This movie blew my mind. I love it.

I will not spoil the storyline for you here nor will it make any justice by doing so. You have to see it for yourself to truly believe the heartwarming excellence of Slumdog Millionaire. However, I don't quite understand as to why most critics panned the movie really bad saying that the movie sucks so bad. Don't believe those bastards. They're just jealous because it's a foreign film hitting big, but strangely those critics are locals of the movie. Strange. But whatever, I love Slumdog Millionaire and so should you!

The first 45 minutes of this movie are as heartbreaking as they are gruesome. When we reached the scene where a little child is choroformed and her eyes put out so that she could earn more money as a blind beggar, I had endured all I could. We walked out. Can't imagine what everyone sees in this movie. If you are sensitive to disturbing images, especially those involving children, avoid this one.

The humanity in this fills rocks because it comes first. Obviously it was made the way films used to be mace by artists not bean counting execs. LOVED it. SEE IT. It will revive what you're about! Did for me.

Rent It - "Deserving of best picture nods, but I found it a little bittersweet." A moving and well made tale of lost love. See this movie. But I must say I found the depths that our hero and his love must traverse makes them feel a bit to damaged to have the happiest future ahead. But that could just be me.

Slumdog Millionaire was a very powerful movie that is a must watch for any kind of movie goer. Slumdog manages to show the harsh cruel underworld and life of India but at the same time shows the beauty of it. This movie contains some pretty strong subject matter so let those whom are mature enough to watch it, watch it. The cinematography was very dream-like giving the movie a very appropriate fell to it. Though some may argue that the movie seemed to cliche because of it story, the way that it is told is far from cliche.

Overall Slumdog Millionaire is a fantastic movie that is both beautiful and harsh at the same time, with great story telling and superb cinematography, this is definetly one of the best movies yet.

  Four stars simply aren't enough for Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire, which just may be the most entertaining movie I've ever labeled a masterpiece in these pages.

  The story may stretch credibility until it's ready to pop its seams, but Patel conveys the simple confidence of a prodigy who has learned everything important in life, except how to lie.

  It doesn't happen often, but when it does, look out: a movie that rocks and rolls, that transports, startles, delights, shocks, seduces. A movie that is, quite simply, great.

  You may even feel like dancing in the aisles yourself. Sure, the real world doesn't always work this way. Have you forgotten that this is one of the reasons why we go to movies in the first place?

  Slumdog Millionaire dives headfirst into something greater than a subculture - the enormous unchronicled culture of India's mega-slums - and achieves even more sweeping impact.

  A terrific yarn, one so engrossing and surprising that the nature of the story's structure -- each question Jamal gets asked on the show corresponds with a traumatic or momentous moment from his childhood -- never feels like a contrived framing device.

  Like all good fairy tales, this outsize celebration of perseverance and moral triumph contains within it a deeper idea -- in this case, the relative nature of what we think we know, and what's worth knowing at all. No doubt Dickens himself would approve.
