Boring Benjamin

Rating: 3/10 (14 May 2009)

Looks like I'm in the minority of reviewers.
This movie is Boring with a capital B. And, incredibly long to boot! As the main character gets younger, you feel yourself getting older.
I thought it might get interesting when Cate Blanchett's character was finally introduced but even her good acting couldn't save it for me.
The only redeeming feature was the ending. If you can make it that far without dying of old age, that is. My suggestion? Go to the last 20 minutes of the movie and watch that.
At least Forrest Gump had some interesting things going on around a very ordinary guy. Benjamin Button is just, plain, ordinary.
