Another film that did not deserve the best film Oscar.

Rating: 9/10 (31 March 2009)

Let me start off here, with a reason for my rating of 9. It is based on the excellent production values and some very good acting. The direction by Danny Boyle is excellent.
The script however is lacking in believability.
As we all know our young hero is a contestant on a TV program, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, I for one hated the Version of this show when it was on the air in the US. The parts we see see in the movie are as annoying as it was on TV. (spoiler alert)_
I tend to agree with the reasons why the police arrest our lad.
There are some very grim scenes in the first part of movie but then like all fantasies we have the happy ending.
The last 20 minutes were exceedingly long & very repetitious. I was getting bored, I knew what was going to happen they took forever getting there.
Over the 80 some odd years of the Oscar, there have been quite a few that did not deserve the best film award.
Add Slumdog Millionaire to the list. Here are just a few of the others, that do not belong.
Crash-----Gentlemens Agreement-----The Sting-- The Apartment.
all are very good movies BUT none deserved best film Oscar.
