Strange, but well-made....

Rating: 6/10 (22 June 2009)

David Fincher is a fantastic director... 'The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button' proves that! But does the aging-backwards fare impress? The answer is, yes and no!
The problem here, is the length and its unique treatment... every cine lover won't enjoy this one. Some will love it for its niche, while some will hate it for being a long-long biopic. Fincher brings the short-story to life beautifully with his epic direction... but script wise, the film has its loose ends.
The tale of Benjamin Button leaves you curious as well. Final words,, watch this man's journey only if you're a die-hard fan of Brad Pitt and unique themes.
Pluses of the film: Fincher's direction is outstanding. His Oscar-Nomination was meant to happen. Production value from all sides is A class. Performances are superb: Brad Pitt is fantastic as Ben Button. He plays his part with remarkable ease. Cate Blanchett is excellent. Taraji P.Henson is equally good. Others are good in their parts.
Minuses: The theme might not attract many + the film is too lenghty.
on the whole, this man's journey is entertaining,boring and adventurous.
