Very overrated.

Rating: 6/10 (18 August 2009)

I do mildly recommend The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I do think the premise is very interesting, but there's something not quite right about it. It's way too long. I thought it was a tad bit boring. I did find it somewhat interesting. Somewhat dull. It's not that Benjamin Button is a bad film, it's just not the best. It's incredibly overrated. I don't think this is David Fincher's best film at all, it's not one of his worst though. I much prefer Seven or The Game or Fight Club. The Curious case of Benjamin Button wasn't worth the 13 Oscar nominations it got. I'd at least give it one for best visual effects. Because the film had spectacular special effects. The Special effects are very decent, but not enough for 13 Oscar nominations. You can disagree with me, but I think Benjamin Button is a weird film. I think Benjamin Button is a slow, occasionally dull, occasionally boring, somewhat entertaining, film that I do slightly recommend. But Dark Knight deserved more nominations than this damn movie. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is very overrated, but I suppose you could see it if you were that desperate.
The Plot: THe story of Benjamin button, a guy who was born old and begins to age backwards, and experiences many things in life.
