Long, Lame, and Stupid

Rating: Null/10 (19 February 2009)

After watching Benjamin Button I realized why the mediocrity of Slumdog had been getting all the attention. Ah of course, if this is the kind of movies it is competing with at the Oscars!
2008 ought to be the year of weak premises. Button was a waste of time. The only thing worth mentioning was Brad Pitt's make-up. Everything else (including his acting) were below par. The logical inconsistencies were innumerable - to mention one: Button is born small (but old) and dies small (but young) with no wrinkles on his skin. Where did all the extra skin go? When are people going to realize it is not one idea that makes a movie? Scott Fitzgerald would have written that story in under three hours of his time!
