Really? People liked this crappy crap?

Rating: 2/10 (18 August 2009)

Seriously, the 200th best film of all time? Are all of you drunk? I liked this movie better the first time I saw it when it was called Forrest Gump. The only problem is that this microwaved turd was weirder than Forrest Gump. This movie was just weird! Weird, I say! Yeah, I get it; there were some cool special effects (but there were also some pretty cheesy ones like the sound stage shots the first time Benjamin goes out to sea on the tugboat). The ONLY reason that we endured the 2.5+ hours was that the actors are all top-notch, and their acting in this particular film was good. Makeup was great. BUT, I don't watch a movie JUST for special effects and makeup. Otherwise, I'd have really loved the Star Wars prequels ... which also stank. My wife and I have an ongoing anti-competition of sorts regarding what the worst movie of all time is. Currently, it's Out for a Kill, starring Steven Seagal. We had a pretty heated discussion about whether Button is worse than that crap and crud omelet. It was the acting that kept Button from taking over the spot from Seagal. (Seagal beat out Bruce Willis's Striking Distance - really? water cops? are you kidding?)
