just watch it!

A Disappointing Continuation

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

One of the best movies ever made!! just watch.. effects acting and everything is fantastic

At first, I wasn't giving that much for this movie, I was like "oh, ok, it's a history where the main character is born old and get younger every day, but, what can you do with it?", and, omg, the movie is surprisingly good!The movie brings a cool message about life, that makes you think a lot about how you deal with your life, or how you had so much good things, but doesn't give them the attention that they really deserve. That is certainly the most amazing thing about the movie, it make you rethink almost everything that you do. The script is well done, the mix with the history line in the present give us something else to care about, besides the history of Benjamin Button (I just dont get it whats the relevence of the hurricane, but ok), and also tells his history in a clever way. At the beggining it bother me a little bit, but after a while it engages. The cast is really really good. Of course, Cate Blanchett and Brad Pitt are the biggest highlight, both are amazing in the roles, but the supporting cast is also very good.The only main issue that I have with the movie is the CGI in some parts, mostly in the scenes where Benjamin is "young" (or old, I don't know), look, I know that it's hard to do something like that, make a person that at the same time that is young is old to, but, sadly, for me the CGI take you out of the movie in the beggining, but that is it, I think that with one hour of movie, is alredy Brad Pitt there, just with make up (that by the way, is AMAZING).In short, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a great film, with amazing direction and photography, some really great actors, and certainly worth your time.8,5/10

Brad Pitt's character was born with a congenital disorder, He struggled to be an ordinary person despite his adverse circumstances. Brad Pitt is adequate but not really outstanding. I'm not the biggest Brad Pitt fan but I thought he was dignified and showed his experience in this film, but it was not a breathtaking performance. The other main role (Rose) played by Cate Blanchett lacked emotion at times. This sadly resulted in the chemistry between her and Button to be minimal. I couldn't see the love between them. Overall, I thought it was a nice watch including some amazing and incredible visual, make-up effects, specially when Pitt was made to look about 10 years younger than he is now. But it won't be considered as an absolute classic. It is a beautiful film externally but fails to come up with a strong, evident message. I couldn't hate this film, because I enjoyed it, but I couldn't love it either, because this should have been much much more.

First of all, I would like to thank IMDb for their great contribution to the film industry around the world. You can decide either you want to watch the movie before you actually go start wasting your time on a movie that was not of genre.Secondly, The Curious Case Benjamin Button. OK! This is the first time I'm writing a review on IMDb and I would like to mention here that this movie is just underrated. I think this is one of the most important movie of my life. I have never seen such a wonderful movie. Even though there are 1000s of other movies that will stole your heart but this one is really going to stole your soul only if you are an emotional person rather than practical. I had listen about that movie before. It was just a chance when I was removing some data from my friend's mobile and I saw that movie and before deleting it, I just checked it's rating on IMDb and it was 7.8 at that time. So, I thought I will give it a watch tomorrow and today I hope that my life is going to change or I will try to change myself a bit more and my conceptions about the life.In simple words, this movie teaches you what is life and what could be the purpose your life. Each individual viewer can get a unique inspiration from this movie. I don't know what I can write more about this movie but I would also like to thank the entire team of this movie to create such a marvellous gem for the film industry.I don't want to spoil by writing anything about the movie and even I don't have words to describe anything. One day, when I will have my private video library then this movie will be the first one that I would like to buy.I will give this movie 10/10 from bottom of my heart.
