Even though it's great to see Danny Boyle win an Oscar


I think even his die hard fan's wouldn't have this movie in their top 5 Boyle films, I say a few would but I be shocked if many would. I wouldn't say it's a bad film, it's pretty dark in places for a Oscar winner and the acting is great. It's great to see a film that the studio didn't bank on doing anything go on to become a big hit and Oscar winner. Plus seen a great director and good guy like Boyle win a Oscar is one of the reasons I'm happy it won. It was the closet to a Oscar film he has in his canon.

But for me I'd have Trainspotting, Shallow Grave, 28 Days Later, 127 Hours, Steve Jobs and Millions ahead of it as better films from Boyle.

Am I been harsh or does anyone agree.
