Probably my favorite movie of All Time

Rating: 10/10 (1 October 2009)

This movie blew me away and I have read many reviews of this movie being boring or too long, I think this movie is a perfect length. More movies should be this long to build better plot lines just like this one. I have to say after I watched this movie I was speechless for 10 minutes. Which is the exact score I give this movie. David Fincher has to be one of my favorite directors, from movies like "Zodiac" and "Fight Club". Fincher once again stole, dare I say, my heart with his incredible plot line of a life of a strange man such as Benjamin Button. Its a lot like Forrest Gump's life except not just the highlights of Gump's but all of Benjamin's highs and lows. I really felt like i knew him at the end of the movie which is an amazing thing to know after only a little over 3 hours, compared to hearing every story of my Grandparents in years of knowing them of course. I was very disappointed that "Slumdog Millionaire" beat this movie in the Oscars. I also think if it wasn't for Sean Penn, Brad Pitt deserved a Oscar for such a deep role. It may not be his most Iconic but definitely Brad Pitt at his best. Every Actor and Actress in this movie deserved all the praise and respect they got for this movie. This is one of the few movies in my life I've seen that I would definitely give, if possible, over 4 stars.
It is a must see hit that i will recommend to every future generation in my family. It will be my family's "Forrest Gump". Not every movie is perfect but this movie comes very damn close.
