OKAY movie.... but boring...

Rating: 3/10 (11 March 2009)

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a movie about a man who ages backwards. Okay, i'll admit, sound interesting but...
When i started to watch the movie it was very slow-going and not very interesting in terms of the story being told but i gave it time and after 2 1/2 hours .. it was still boring.
I can surely appreciate the genre of the movie i do not expect a car chase, but there was no suspense, nothing that made you want to keep watching.
The Plot in itself is a lot like Forrest Gump, but lacks the controversy, humor and charm that Forrest Gump had.
Although i must say, the cast is very good in this movie, except the character of Daisy when she is older, i never understood a word she said.
I can understand the moral of the story being about love, loss, and atonement , and all that good stuff, but to me the movie is more about the story of a man and his love life.
Also, the fact that he ages backwards had a lot and so little to do with the story. It's a strange thing, but his condition did nothing to make the movie more interesting. But at the same time, it was a big factor of the movie. ... strange, i know.
Needless to say, the movie was not HORRIBLE, it was a great story, but an uninteresting movie. But it will most likely become a classic. These types of movies usually do.
