Most overrated film ever made .... tonight 9:PM C4

I agree.

I'm not a firm critic but after all that hype I was expecting a LOT better.

4/10 for me.

dont fancy it

After All that hype it was better than I expected. I presumed it would be utter sh1te. 5/10.

I was expecting rubbish but thought it was brilliant personally so I watched again a week later

i quite liked it tbh

agree with Don, expected nowt and thoroughly enjoyed it.

we are ordering a takeaway and getting really into it ,putting some corrugated iron round the settee too

i though it was good too !! perhaps over hyped , but still a decent film

they're making a sequel following Kevin Pietersen in the IPL apparently.

Dumb slog millionaire.

Wasn,t expecting much but good, I,ll be watching again tonight.

Agree that it was massively overrated. Mainly by Guardian types who wanted to sound cool by pandering to the message of the film (whilst sipping Chateux Laffite '49)

It's OK, but not in a million years is it a classic.

It's like City Of God for children.

no that would be the fantasy film schindlers list.

I think it's a good film.
Although not a great one.

Been sh!t so far.

im getting bored with it now

Bet you were all "dancing" at the end to the Music ... :^0

i herd that the working title for this film woz **bag millionare"

I thought it was good too. V. beautifully filmed imo.

I watched half of this and got bored. probably just not my thing so wouldnt go as far as to** it tbf

Watched it on 4 plus one - gave up after an hour - was very disappointed considering all the hype when it came out.

Good film 7/10

was a bit disappointed first time i saw it. But have since seen it more than 10 times as i have used as end of term classroom film..
Now i think, as a 'fairy tale' (as thats all it is really) it really stands up as an excellent film, accessible to all, great cinematography, with decent performances and genuinely tense moments. Of course the 'slumdog' looks like he's never spent a day outside middleclass Harrow in his life, and quite how he learned English to such a level despite barely going to school is also a mystery - but ignoring that - a very good film.

However, a proper film about street kids in Bombay would be 'salaam Bombay!' which is a truly great film.

What exactly is the 'message' other than its a romantic fairytale? It was hardly groundbreaking or controversial when dealing with Indian poverty
