Finally got around to checking out Benjamin Button (considering its only been out here like a week, thats not to bad) and honestly, i dont know what to say about this film.
I totally agree with the comments Adam and Matty made about the fact that Benjamin Himself isnt exactly the most interesting character but i dont think thats the point of the movie, the point is that because of his unusual condition, he was able to come into contact with all these people. I saw his condition really as more of a plot device than the storyline.
Plus, the film kind of dragged on, we went into the theatre expecting a maybe 2 hours tops movie, only to sit in the theatre for almost 3! And there were clearly things that werent important to the story at all thrown in just to keep you interested, like the man who had been struck by lightning seven times, just recounting how they happened. Complete and utter filler and unneccessary
