Horrible Film. No plot, no concrete characters!

Rating: 3/10 (26 December 2008)

So we all saw the previews and hoped to get something out of this. But the previews could have sufficed for the whole film and in fact would have been better than wasting almost three hours of my time in a terrible excuse for a film.
Benjamin Button simply grows up in a pseudo nursing home and he gets younger. People come and go in his life and EVERY single character is so static in this movie.
I tell no lie, there is no depth to the characters. There is also no plot to this movie. It is a collection of scenes put together poorly as the transitions between the hospital room and benjamin's life are pretty poor.
Probably the best things are the very cheap laughs that get very tired and are really intended for 5 year olds. They are also in bad taste and a display of horrible directing.
Funniest of all is that I keep reading of amazing acting but what acting is there to do?!?!?! Benjamin's character simply narrates and rides a bike throughout the movie.
If you think this movie will make you appreciate little things and moments and events, it won't. The movie in no way does so and this will be the end of David Fincher's directing career. This is honestly that bad of a film.
I am an Avid movie goer and all of the good reviews must come from people paid to say good things about this abomination. PLEASE GO SEE something else. Go see Slumdog Millionaire if you haven't, or Seven Pounds, or Doubt, or Milk.
If you ignore this comment, I really think you will regret seeing this movie.
