Very long Boring movie.

Rating: 1/10 (25 January 2009)

I thought this was going to be a very good film because of its interesting plot and its leading actors Cate Blanchett and Brad Pitt but it turned out to be a too long and boring movie. I think it deserves 5.5 stars, but I give it a 1 because it doesn't deserves to be in the top 250 IMDb list.
The plot is developed in a very slow pace and it lasts too long (166 minutes) that make it very boring. I have always liked Brad Pitt's work but I can't believe he has been nominated for the Oscar as best actor , the role he plays here could haven been played easily for any regular actor, I didn't find his role very difficult to be done. he has had better performances specially in "Fight Club (1999)" where he deserved a Oscar nomination.
Cate Blanchett is good here like in every role she plays. I Think this could have been better if it would have lasted only 120 minutes, taking away some parts when Benjamin is old. the final minutes are good and touch you, but despite these really good moments they don't delete the boring 85 % of this film.
Benjamin Button was born old and each year he becomes younger, he gets younger in a place for old people and is there where he will meet Daisy the love of his life who is the granddaughter of one old woman who lives there , he will become sailor and will travel to many places before re meeting with Daisy.........
This movie is recommended for people who likes very slow pace movies like "Lost in Translation (2003)", or if you are a very romantic person and don't mind being bored during the first 146 minutes to enjoyed the last 20 touching minutes.
