Slumdog Millionaire

I'm not much of a movie critic. But, I have my own opinions that I do not try to impose on anyone. Frankly speaking, I find most of the movies that I see, unimpressive. Slumdog Millionaire (I'm not going to call it 'Slumdog' or 'SDM', the world isn't going to lose a few trees just because I'm a douchebag and won't use abbreviations) excelled at just that.

There were a million things that I thought made the whole movie suck beyond belief.

To start with, the hype. It was Danny Boyle. The same guy who made the brilliant Trainspotting, the not-so-awesome-but-still-good 28 Days Later and a few other awesome movies. This movie plain sucked.

The stupid clichés and stereotypes. Why why why? Why did they have to do that?

The Oscars. I hate this movie even more because of the 8 Oscars. At least 7 of which, it did not deserve. Most importantly, The Best Motion Picture. A coveted award that has eluded even the best (Read: Pulp Fiction). I'm sure the judges were hopped up on cocaine when they decided to press the red button next to 'Slumdog Millionaire' (I'm fairly certain that's how it is done)

ImDB. Fuck you.

Rotten Tomatoes. Fuck you even more.

PS. This is something I wrote ages back but never had the time to edit or publish. I don't, even now. I'm publishing it anyway, because I hate the move THAT much.
