I too found myself a little disappointed by “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” most often when the film slipped into “Forrest Gump” territory.

I suppose it’s bound to happen when you assemble a dream like this one, give them a ginormous budget and slather on the special effects. Someone’s bound to be disappointed by the results.

Here’s my review of “Benjamin Button”: http://sloblogs.thetribunenews.com/shelikestowatch/2009/01/02/the-curious-case-of-benjamin-button/

I must agree with you Ed. It seems that every time the movie started to really take off, i.e. the Tilda Swinton, Brad Pitt exchanges, they would cut back to the completely unnecessary and cliched hospital setting. The filmmakers really handicapped themselves by deciding to tell the story in such a pedestrian and uncreative way.

I agree that the film seemed a bit too proud of its special effects. Blanchett’s performance was, indeed, excellent. I think they would have been better served paring the film down a good bit. I would have liked to see more emphasis on the relationship Button had in St. Petersburg, I found that dalliance to be the most engrossing period in there.

An interesting review on movie “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”. Brad Pitt character is the high light of the movie.

Thanks

it was a little weird to see an old version of Brad Pitt’s face pasted onto a kid’s body, but i guess that’s why they call it a “curious case”

I liked the film, but I do think it may have been better if it had a different director. Don’t get me wrong, I think David Fincher is brilliant, but this type of movie is a vast departure from films like Se7en, Fight Club, and Zodiac. Perhaps if Terrence Malick had directed it we may have seen a different side to the story.
