IMO. Trainspotting, shallow grave, 28 days later, and sunshine were brilliant, but recently this guy is cranking out glossy, kind of safe stuff. 127 hours later was a bit dull, slumdog I found massively overrated, and having just seen trance, It came off to me like a poor mans inception. That is all.

Not really. Loved Sunshine, Slumdog, 127 Hours, and Trance. You probably think slumdog is overrated because if lots of people like something, it's automatically overrated, which is moronic. Just stop watching movies

I mostly agree with you, especially on Slumdog being massively overrated, I will take The Beach over it any dayI loved 127 hours, though felt it was missing something, and I haven't seen Trance yet. So yeah, his movies up till and including Sunshine were great, but starting with Slumdog he started to lose some of his mojo, which was making him unique I feel like something similar happened to Fincher with that mess of a film of Benjamin Button, but he already redeemed himself for me with Social Network. So I'm hoping for Danny Boyle's comeback to form soon too.

He was hardly uphill prior to Sunshine. A Life Less Ordinary, The Beach, Strumpet, Vacuuming Completely Nude in Paradise and Alien Love Triangle aren't just among his worst films, they're some of the worst films of the last 20 years.

Haha, ridiculous.. based on what? Your opinion? I'll give you that but the mass appeal and majority of critics indicate otherwise. Its actually safer to say that your opinion is an exception that's better off overlooked.
