As a character composite of Forrest Gump and Sweeney Todd, Benjamin Button makes for one strange night out at the cinema.
Stunning movie! Cate and Brad were absolutely phenominal and the effects of the aging, both older and younger, were superb! Best picture winner this year, no doubt!
An amazing movie! Brad Pitt, as Benjamin Button, was so endearing. He really touched my heart. This movie has so many layers. It brilliantly portrays the different stages/ages of an individual's life. Very reflective!
Excellent film, very moving. It really gets you thinking about your life. Those who found it a "snoozefest" did not allow themselves to be drawn in by the story or analyze its depths of meaning. If you are looking for a great tale, bring along some attentiveness and you'll really enjoy it!
A really wonderful movie with great acting, moral underpinnings and fabulous acting. The interconnectedness of humans really is evident.....I rarely buy or see movies more than once but I will buy this one and see it again....
FORREST GUMP RIP OFF! The first half of the movie is quite engaging and draws you in and I thought wow, it is good. Unfortunately the film drags on for an hour too long and unlike Forrest Gump or the Titanic which were so superb that the time flew, Benjamin Button begins to lag and it becomes a matter of filling in the blanks and giving us as much info on what happened to the characters as possible. It's quite tedious as is Cate Blanchett's fake "old voice" which really began to grate on my nerves. The makeup job, the concept and the first half fantastic. I really struggled not to walk out during the last hour and I didn't know until after but my partner had been feeling the same way, as did
awsome most wonderfu movie but it is not the best movie i have seen!
Amazing movie. Brad pitt did a great job. Would see this movie again.
Best movie ever, equals among Eragon, Covenant, and Spice World. I want those three hours of my life refunded, now..
A perfect movie for all ages. This film is as good a movie as I have seen all year. Excellent story and acting. I highly recommend it.
