Benjamin Button a great film however, Brad Pitt's performance falters

Rating: 8/10 (6 January 2009)

Last night after seeing The Curious Case of Benjamin Button I was left with sadness and unhappy with Brad Pitt's performance.
The story is very simple it's about a guy's life being shown in reverse. This movie is very entertaining and sometimes enjoyable. Brad Pitt is the best choice to play the main character however, sometimes while watching it Brad Pitt is just staring at the other characters and seems like he forgot his lines or pages from the script is missing. I was looking forward to a performance as enjoyable as Tom Hank's performance in "Forrest Gump".
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is one of the best films of the year but, I don't think Brad's performance is Oscar worthy. Most likely this movie will still be around after Oscar nominations are announced.
If your looking for good movie to see while Oscar buzz is going on I recommend this movie.
