Forrest Gump II

Rating: 3/10 (2 January 2009)

How about a long, drawn out epic tale about one ordinary (but different) man with his unique set of struggles from birth to death, where he builds character as history unfolds around him. Sound familiar? The central difference between this and Gump is that Benjamin Button isn't a retard played by Tom Hanks. That's why I gave it a three out of ten....two points for not casting a retarded Tom Hanks, one point for effort. Apparently the proceeding isn't enough text, so let me add some more...good special effects, which will never save a movie on their own, and Cate Blanchett in her least memorable role to date...maybe if Forrest Gump had never happened, I wouldn't have hated this trite waste of time nearly as much as I did.
