Not for me

Rating: 4/10 (11 November 2009)

I finally got around to seeing Benjamin a couple of weeks. In case anybody doesn't know it stars Brad Pitt in the lead role of Benjamin Button who grows younger as he grows older. I've always found Brad Pitt a very engaging actor who has put in many fine performances over the years. He probably had eyes on the academy when he took this role, but ultimately his only recognition was a nomination. I was not totally convinced about Pitt in this role and think that Blanchett took the honours in terms of acting.
It is undoubtedly true that this is an interesting subject for a movie, but for me it wasn't quite realised. Based on it's IMDb rating it seems that I am in the minority on this and I would certainly recommend that people watch it and make up their own mind.
