From a 15 year olds point of view...

Rating: 5/10 (7 February 2009)

As soon as i heard about this film i was so excited. The idea was amazing- someone born as an old man that grows backwards. and brad Pitt playing him, i was even more excited about it. So i go to watch it the day it comes out, expecting a lot.
The film lasts just under 3 hours, however i felt like they made the film 3 hours just for the sake of making it something big. Because the first hour and a half included unnecessary and to much about what he did, that just got really boring and was hardly anything to do with the story of the film, i also noticed quite a few people leaving the movie at this point.
But after about the first 1 and a half hours of the movie it started getting really good and became a really emotional and beautiful story, i cried at a few points as well, and it takes a lot for me to cry in a movie, so thats all good.
Overall i was pretty disappointed because this movie has over 10 Oscar nominations and they could have done such a better job with the storyline, and the movie dragged to much. I don't think Brad Pitt was an amazing actor in it, i think Cate Blanchett was a better actress than him in this movie.
