Well reviews have started pouring in:

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/slumdog_millionaire/

And 90% out of 80 reviews sounds pretty good to me. Of course, reviews don't make a movie either!

IM GONNA WAIT FOR REVIEWS: Boyle does decent work at worst (unless he also did 28 Weeks Later which is supposed to be awful) but this does seem like a dumb concept.

who said it was awful? it was v disappointing because i liked 28 days later a lot and it was not anything like that. like, it was not even remotely similar, stylistically, and it was a lot more traditional and not nearly as good. but!!! it wasnt awful and even as it was i thought it was still much better than most of the awful horror movies you see today (as in, it was mostly just WATCHABLE//okay i guess???)

I was really disappointed discovering Dev Patel was in this movie. I mean, a film about WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE is one thing to try and understand (Monopoly film), but for some film set in Mumbai, and then discovering it stars the guy who plays an idiot in some British TV show called Skins, aaa. It just sort of makes me lose all interest.

And they're talking about an Oscar nod, that'd just be bizarre.

If any Boyle movie gets awards, it should have been Sunshine.

Actually I thought this was a joke post at first based on the first image but I guess not.

Also this movie sounds pretty bad for the exact reason that jamicus mentioned. MAYBE I'M WRONG but it sounds like a really gimmicky and ridiculous way of explaining why this dude can answer every single question. Every question relates to a past experience this guy has had? Bullshit. This sounds dumb.

edit: just watched the trailer and it only looked worse EVERY ANSWER... BRINGS HIM TO HIS ONE TRUE LOVE or whatever the fuck. Sounds like another fake romance movie so I don't give a shit.

at first glance i thought this too, but i just saw it and seriously that shit isn't forced on your
the trailers don't do this movie justice it's actually pretty decent and up on the zoo if anybody wants that shit

this movie has some terribly dumb PRO AMERICA scene that made the already shitty and predictable plot even worse. india is not like this, thanks for being a third rate satyajit rai with a gimmick danny boyle.

I felt differently. What I got from that scene was that Americans are really dumb; like how people now don't hit their kids if they do anything bad or nothing.

Saw this in the theater loved it..................................

oh come on dude a guy kicked him in the face and blacked his eye somehow I don't think the Americans giving him 100 bucks came off as the "dumb" ones in that.
