Anyone else gone to see this movie I recommended it to anyone its such a great movie. This movie is worth the $9.50 they charge at the theater its kinda long about 2 hours and 45 min but its so worth it.

Here's what its about...

Quote:

"I was born under unusual circumstances." And so begins "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: a man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. We follow his story, set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918, into the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man's life can be.

so did he come out of his mother's womb in the old man body? He must of wrecked her.

Dutchmalmiss · 12-29-2008, 10:23 AM

Yeah I saw it yesterday and enjoyed it too. They did a good job on the teenager Brad Pitt. Almost looked like the Brad Pitt from Thelma and Louise back in the 80s haha. And Cate Blanchett is so hot to me after watching this. I wanna love her.

nismo racer · 12-29-2008, 10:43 AM

It a great movie, I enjoyed it a lot

drift freaq · 12-29-2008, 11:09 AM

it was a good film, it dragged a bit in the beginning and a bit towards the end. Should not have been as long as it was. The middle of the film was great,though I am not raving about it being a absolutely fantastic film, partly because of what I stated above.

bradass · 12-29-2008, 11:11 AM

good movie, i enjoyed it...a lil long..but good movie nonetheless...

chibo · 12-29-2008, 11:12 AM

I started watching last night and couldn't make it past the beginning.

ronmcdon · 12-29-2008, 12:44 PM

Not a bad movie. It was shot well, and I'd expect no less from director David Fincher. According to some ppl who have read the book though, the film places more emphasis on the love story than Benjamin's life interactions with other ppl during different stages of his life.

As a love story, it was more effective than most. There were some funny moments, and some sentimentally touching. i enjoyed how the circumstances allowed for a different take on romance. As a drama, it didn't feel particularly convincing or powerful. I think I would have preferred the film, if there was less romance and more interpersonal drama. Although Pitt was decent in the film, I felt he also gave it a Hollywood feel that was more difficult to take seriously. Blanchchett (sp?) was very well cast though. I wouldn't consider it one of Fincher's best work, but it's solid overall, entertaining, and well made film.

This is a film that also works a lot better if you watch it in a good movie house. I'd have to agree it's worth the admission.
Be sure to go to a place that has decent popcorn, as the film goes very well with it.

LeftNutOfGowd · 12-29-2008, 01:28 PM

Did anyone else notice that Pitt seemed to get younger and young but Blanchchett didn't see to age but then out of no where she gets all old. my gf and I were like OK Pitt looks younger but the chick stayed the same, were like "when is she gonna start getting older?"

ronmcdon · 12-29-2008, 08:35 PM

There actually was some CGI done to Blanchett when she was younger, although the effects were more subtle.
She did look really good for a supposedly 43yr old though. This actress must keep herself in great shape in real life.

RurouniMidnight · 12-29-2008, 08:50 PM

Yep i saw this one Fiday night, i thought it was a very good movie and i like really long epic movies so it was right up my alley.

karl wasabi · 12-30-2008, 02:01 AM

I can't wait to see this movie.

k0uki · 12-31-2008, 12:21 AM

"Did I ever tell you i was struck by lightning 7 times?" lol, good movie. just long

LeftNutOfGowd · 12-31-2008, 07:17 AM

"Would you like to have sex with me"

Pitts answer "ABSOLUTELY" spoken like a true P.I.M.P

civilized_drifter · 12-31-2008, 02:01 PM

i really enjoyed it too

Brian · 01-02-2009, 09:40 AM

I saw it last night.
Very fun movie. Didn't mind the length of it at all.

I was wondering how they would portray him as the movie went on. They did a great job when he met up at the dance studio after leaving for years.

I highly recommend this movie.

This wasn't a true story right?

adrians_s13 · 01-02-2009, 12:13 PM

I saw the movie last week. Very good movie. I enjoyed it... although, I felt as if it dragged on in a few scenes.

But very good none the less.

DUFFM4N · 01-02-2009, 12:53 PM

saw it...thought it was great

even though the movie was long, it didnt seem like it since i was interested all throughout it...

best scene was when he gets all up in that prostitutes guts and wears her out

JRas · 01-02-2009, 12:59 PM

I saw it on Christmas day

It was good, but long, and towards the end I just wanted it to end

I'd rate it a 7.0-7.5 - 10

ESmorz · 01-02-2009, 01:21 PM

Jesus... Cate Blanchett is one ugly bitch.

Two and a half hours!!! I'm going to have to be really drunk to start this movie off.

People confuse me.

Brian · 01-02-2009, 07:20 PM

Usually I lose attention towards the end of a regular movie.

This one, I was into it the entire way.
I didn't even know it was longer than a normal movie.

99maxgtr · 01-02-2009, 07:34 PM
