I'm just puzzled at why people didn't love it as much as I did.

Rating: 9/10 (19 February 2009)

The film ran close to three hours? So what. Brad Pitt hardly acted? Who cares? It was just a love story? Maybe, but it was a bloody brilliant one.
This is not The Notebook. So women don't expect to have your heart strings tugged at for it's full 166 (thats right) minute running time. This is not Forrest Gump (although it does bear uncanny resemblances due to Mr. Eric Roth) so don't expect a lovable idiot whom you fall in love with. This is the story of an ordinary man in extraordinary circumstances. This is a totally different film and completely unique because of it. This is The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button.
The film completely charmed me. It was hilarious. It was heart-warming. It was beautiful. It was everything i could ask for in a movie. I could not recommend it any higher if i wanted to.
