I'm fairly surprised to see such positive reviews of this film. It reminded me of an extra long Forrest Gump... minus a good plot, interesting characters, a captivating story and a wicked soundtrack.
Benjamin Button was long, drawn out, boring as hell and ultimately predictable. I failed to see the "magic" as one user put it and couldn't wait for it to end.
The acting was decent but the story was a repetition of Brad Pitt falling in love, leaving, coming back, leaving, coming back, falling in love again, leaving, coming back, having a kid then leaving again and ultimately coming back.
Ultimately I believe this movie was horribly over-rated. Either way, I expect it'll win at least 2 Oscars... but hey, that's the film industry.
