Finally saw this over the weekend...Wifey and I really enjoyed it. Kept out attention throughout...I really felt the tension that Bigelow was building.

Thought it was very boring and yet another Oscar winner I find to not be worth the hype at all. I didn't feel this so called tension, suspense or intensity that everyone was talking about either.

I can see how people really liked this move. Excellent tension throughout.

I can also see how people could think it was overdone and unrealistic at times.

I can't say I have a problem with it winning best picture.

Recently watched it. This is pretty much how I felt too. Definitely a good movie, but it didn't stand out as anything special to me. Wouldn't watch it again.

I wouldn't watch it either. Best pictures lately have been meh. Dark Knight is way better than this one as well.

Totally agree. I looked up the best picture nominees before I posted because I was going to say which film I would have picked, but nothing really stood out.

I still have a few left to see, but I guess I would go with Inglourious Basterds. They're all just a bunch of good to really-good movies.

Did you ever see Pirate Radio?
