    Don't get me wrong, I like Chicago but it is by no means special and under close inspection, it actually sucks. Catchy songs should not justify rubbish plot development.

    A black comedy that I don't find funny. Or interesting. Or engaging. Or ground breaking. No the level of excellence an oscar-winning film should exhibit.

    The very fact that this wretched monstrosity was even nominated is outstanding. Never has there been a greater case of style over substance. The plot is stupid with characters often acting illogically, inconsistently or just plain otherworldly.

    I understand that this film is technically amazing but it is shamefully oscar-fodder and rather dull.

    Just because it was about time that a woman should win the 'Best Director oscar' doesn't mean they should give it to the first female director that they find.

    Okay, Slumdog didn't suck, it was just kind of average and especially considering that the Curious Case of Benjamin Button was an awful lot better.

    This one is here as more of a plea: what is it that makes this film so special? Why does everyone love it so much? Other than great acting, what on Earth did this film do to garner the response that it has had?
