Shallow Grave is ok, dated pretty badly. The rest of his films I can’t stand.

Of course it’s all subjective but not a fan.

Not expecting much. Boyle is a pretty poor director, apart from Trainspotting (which is nearly 30 years old) his films are poor. While Garland is very hit and miss, Ex-Macina (directing) and Dredd (writing) being his stand outs.

I watched 28 Weeks later a year ago as I hadn't seen it in years, felt like a low budget ITV drama. Surprised it's liked as much as it is, but then I feel that way about all of Boyle's stuff that seem to have a fan base.

Did you not like Slumdog, 127 Hours or Shallow Grave? He’s made some crackers, IMO.

I really hated Slumdog.

It’s an awful film. Talking of sh-t Boyle films, I switched on the TV last night and saw Yesterday was on, possibly one of the worst films ever made.

I've made a concerted effort to avoid watching Yesterday.

Slumdog were both a general subjective dislike for mawkish fairy tale type films (also fuсking hate Amélie, for instance) and a strong distaste for the way the severe deprivation of Indian slums is used purely as a backdrop for a fantasy story. As I see it, a rich European guy should generally tread carefully if depicting that world, even if it's a attempt to produce a layered and realistic portrait. But Boyle just used the slum as poverty рorn in a story that could just as easily been set in Lagos, Jakarta or Sao Paulo.

Why? It’s not a terrible movie.

I mean it’s better than anything Tarantino has done imo

I answered your 'why' question in the following post.

I'm not much of a Tarantino fan, and I don't think he has grown up as a director since his breakout films, but for me nothing he has made is as bad as Slumdog.

Fair enough. You raise some decent points.


I like tarantino’s production values, but I hate his pointless go nowhere dialogue, pulp fiction is one of the most overrated movies ever and the hateful 8 is very hateful.

Slumdog Millionaire is overrated and I don't care for many of Boyle's films but I would concede that he is at least a solid film maker. This would be the most I've been up for a Boyle film in a long while.

Tarantino hasn’t really done anything of note since Jackie Brown, definitely lost whatever made him so interesting after his first few films. His more recent movies while watchable are very bloated and the dialogue can be hard to watch at times.

Plenty of far more interesting directors around these days than either of those 2.
