Yah, what Mike said! That was a thorough review!!

I liked Benjamin Button and I even cried during the movie a few times. The acting was good, the story line well developed, and it was such a touching love story.

I did think that the movie was a little slow going for the first hour, but when Brad Pitt turned into a man and he was courting his "love", it captured more of my attention. Hehehehhe. Again, I am not a huge Brad fan, but his acting was good, he looked good, and the storyline was touching.

I would consider seeing Benjamin Button in the theater but dont read too much-- it is a little over-hyped in my opinion.

For whatever it's worth, I thought Angelina did just as good of a job in Changeling. They are quite the duo.

My rating: a solid B

This was a good movie, kind of makes you wonder how life would be if we lived it backwards!

I haven't seen the Movie, although I was very surprized that Brad Pitt didn't get BEST ACTOR OR BEST PICTURE,The movie critics need to rethink that choice of Slumdog Millionare,just the name sounds weird.
