The curious case of Benjamin Button

[x!candi!x]

I've only watched half of this film on www.watch-movies.net as the link failed halfway through :@.

I just wanted to know what people felt about this film??

I thought it was really sad I mean a little child that is a grandad it's so sad!! I thought the film was really really good but a little boring in some parts. I can't wait to see the rest of the film.

So what did you guys think of it?

:)

this isnt an exciting movie. so everyone who only goes to see movies that are 1 hour and 20 minutes and full of explosions is obviously going to say its boring.

but i quite enjoyed it. my only complaint is that he was old for waaaaaay too long, and it just was full speed ahead once he turned 30. other than that it's an oddly touching film, given the ridiculousness of the premise. i'd give it 8/10 if i had to rate.

[leah]

Ive seen the adverts and it looks good so I wanna watch it
isnt brad pitt in it?
PHWOARRR

[Sammeth.]

I wasn't interested at first, but it's been nominated for 13 Oscars so now I'm tempted to see it just to see what all the fuss is about :P

[N-Dubz]

seen it and its brilliant.. got me all teary eyed :(

[jackass]

Does he turn into a womb at the end?

[Yonder]

Yes, he dies a small babyyyyy.

The film is excellent but is drawn out a bit too much. I think it's around 2 hours and 45 minutes long.

Its quite a wierd concept to grasp I mean: "Hey guys, we need a new film... ideas? Anyone?" "Oh oh oh Sir right this way Sir!" "Yes?" "How about, a baby, that starts off old, but gets younger... as he gets older, eh? Eh?" "BRILLIANT, SOMEONE GET THIS MAN A PAY RISE" "Oh and to make it better, lets hire Brad Pitt" "This is pure gold excellent!"

Thats how I assume it went down, but I saw a trailer for it when seeing Yes Man and cant say it got me that excited.

actually, its based on a short story by f. scott fitzgerald, who is often considered one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. so yeah... hes best known for writing the great gatsby though. idk about over in england but it's basically one of those books that everyone reads by the time they're out of high school.

Lol nice theory, but if you paid to watch Yes man then your taste is very different from The curious case of Benjamin Button lol.

lol i was gonna say that too.

[MizMe93]

I personally wasn't too thrilled about seeing this film, but I went to see it yesterday and it was brilliant!
Got me all teary too
though, I do agree he was an old man for waaay too long but i still think its definatley worth going to see :)

[Ras]

its a very well made movie.. dont go expect some teenage stuff.. its more of a "grown up" movie if you can say that..
I've seen it three times to this date, and I really like it.. I laugh every time that guy gets struck by the lightning.. hahaha
"Did I ever tell you I was struck by lightning seven times?" hahaha

[sammyspam]

Was abit long for me, and rushed towards the end. But an interesting movie nonetheless.

I love the guy that gets struck by lightning!

[Immenseman]

I thought it was an excellent movie, one of my all time favourites. The lightening man is great, gives you that comic relief, lol.

[luce]

i really want to see this but i never go to the cinema because ours is rubbish over here i wait until i go to England or i get it on DVD but this one film has always appealed to me :D i shall watch it some how :)

[Marucho]

I liked it. It was really good but because it felt so long i won't be watching it again in a rush. Sad at the end ):

[XHIBIT911]

Its a great film, with a great plot and storyline.
People are so conditioned with explosions and sex in movies that when something is presented outside of the genres they have been conditioned to watch as entertainment since birth is shown to them, they have difficulty following the plotline and display an inability to keep their attenmtion on the story itself.

I highly enjoyed it.
