Movie Review: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button


Worst Film i've ever seen...

Let me start off by saying, Brad Pitt is one of my favorite actors. But after watching this three hour long film with no apparent plot line and lack of ideal premise. Wow, man starts off old then dies at days old. The film could of saved itself by shortening it to an hour, possibly an hour and a half. But no, nearly three hours of predictable nonsense about a boring and backwards story of Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt) being born at age 80? and dying at infancy.
The film is based in the advancing times of New Orleans, Louisiana. A new born Ben Button's mother died giving birth to the wrinkly arthritic infant. And the father in fear of the "devil child" abandons Benjamin at a nursing home, to where Benjamin is raised by a African-American woman named Queenie (Taraji P. Henson) whom Ben considers his mother. And the story bores with his struggle of a backwards life all narrated by a dying woman (the love of Benjamin's life played by Cate Blanchett) telling the story to her daughter of her estranged father.
But this mearly simple and idiotic film adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" rips the actual story apart and created a foolish and lame annoying overdrawn movie with no real depth, character, or even plot. It's a circle of life of a story that should of been left a book. Worst film i've ever seen in my life! i'd rather watch Disaster movie, or Another Gay Movie than watch that crap ever again....
