Not everyone is lining up to praise this film; I recommend a more nuanced review, like that of Emmanuel Levy, which notes that while its a visual feast, Life of Pi falls short of being a masterpiece.

Neither do I think this movie will win best picture -- good chance it will be nominated, but I think (just a projection) the award will come down to between Les Mes. and Argo.

Finally, I'm curious -- which movie do you think should've beat out the Artist?

Chum Chum, you are right in my opinion. The movie is not that great but everyone seems to be lining up to say what a great accomplishment it is. I wish that this movie could be judged purely on it's merits without the book as a reference (Lee get's credit for bringing this unfilmable book to screen). In truth, the Life of Pi falls way short of being a great film. BTW - I loved the book and hate when people say the obvious, "the book was better than the movie" line. I didn't want it to be as good as the book or "true to the book". I just wanted it to be entertaining.

I think is a great movie and a great adaptation. Ang Lee worked the visual part incredible well and the subject of faith too. It has heart and wonderful effects. The Academy should recognize that.

Or it's just made for people who enjoy artfully made movies.
