A Phenomamanal Film

Rating: 9/10 (17 August 2011)

Slumdog Millionaire, I held off from watching this for a long time, I didn't think the film was going to be that interesting, I thought it was going to be a bore, and just a pain to get through.
Thank God I was wrong.
This was a great film, and while it isn't my favorite movie from 2008, I do feel that it did deserve the best picture winner. Sorry fanboys, but this movie was better than the Dark Knight. The acting is great, and because they actually went to India, the production value is high. Also, I just love the way the story unfolds, by the end, my heart was pumping, wanting Dev Patel to win that million dollars.
This is the last film that won best picture, in which I am actually glad it won (even if my favorite film of that year was Cloverfield). As I didn't like Hurt Locker and while I did like King's speech, I feel that it didn't deserve the Oscar.
