Good Points: Make-Up, special effects.

Bad Points: Much ado about nothing. Way overdone. Boring beyond belief. Gimmicky.

General comments: Why the critics rave about the The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button is a mystery to me. It was boring beyond belief. I was literally jumping out of my skin waiting for it to end, which almost never happens to me (Trojan Women was the last time.) Not all that interesting either. It tried too hard to be meaningful when it was a nothing but a gimmick. It was far too long ... and contrived. I give it a 2 only because it was an attempt to step outside the box (though it was a failed attempt). There was no creative reason to double cast Cate Blanchet in the roles of Benjamin's two loves. It was irritating and confusing. I only paid $3 to see it and considered that a waste. And I was not alone. In an adult, artsy audience, people in the rows around me were laughing at how ridiculous it was when they got up to walk out.

Brad Pitt however just did what he always does in films which leaves me wondering if he can actually play any diverse characters at all. The film was overly hyped and does not live up to expectation. My dad is an avid cinema goer a ...

Touching, first part of The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button showed every child has a person who may love him even if not his parents or if he looks like a freak. The part showing the relationship of Banjamin with his father and how he did not keep any bad heart feeling, he even carried him to watch the sunrise at is last moments in life. The relationship between both Benjamin and his wife, and the way he new and had a vision that he must leave and stay away.

Very good movie, although it may not ...

This is the tale of a man who is born old and gets younger as time goes by. The story is told by way of a daughter reading Benjamin's diary to her dying mother. Benjamin was born on the day World War I ended, his mother dying in childbirth. His father is horrified when he sees the baby and runs from the house with the child, eventually abandoning it on the steps of what today would be a nursing home for the elderly. The head caretaker, Queenie, takes the baby into the home and raises him with th ...
