Thought-provoking and visually stunning

As long as you don't have to be able to explain everything in a film, you will like this one! It was interesting that much of the imagery is rooted in post-WW 2, and that there are some scenes that will subliminally remind you of our recent past. The mechanized monsters are truly frightening and it won't take you long to start rooting for the little guys. Leave your need to have it all "make sense" and enjoy this strikingly beautiful little movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The way horror should be!

This film provided the most fun I've had at the movies in a long time. This is a scary movie, but Raimi essentially keeps you smiling all the way through. If you've ever on a scary ride at an amusement park (especially when you were young), then you have had a similar experience. No torture, no misogyny, but plenty of genuinely frightening, and sometimes gross moments that will satisfy your craving for a genuinely scary 99 minutes, and you won't have to think too hard about it when you're leaving the theater.

Slumdog Millionaire

I have now seen this film twice. It is an epic love story that informs the viewer. I found it enormously entertaining, provocative, and touching. Many of the shots are staggering in terms of both scope and content. It provides a unique look at modern India and many of its contradictions. As a Westerner, I was unfamiliar with most if the cast, and this made the experience that much better. The characters are engaging and revealing. I recommend Slumdog to anyone who has been moved by excellent filmmaking.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
