This movie is excellent. I found it very very moving. I cried for like a whole hour toward the ending. It has everything, above all it is about life, unconditional love, someone who appreciates living, an overall outstanding, sureal being. Go See It. You will not be disapointed. If it doesn't get the oscar I will be so upset, this movie so deserves the recognition.

Stunning movie! Cate and Brad were absolutely phenominal and the effects of the aging, both older and younger, were superb! Best picture winner this year, no doubt!

An amazing movie! Brad Pitt, as Benjamin Button, was so endearing. He really touched my heart. This movie has so many layers. It brilliantly portrays the different stages/ages of an individual's life. Very reflective!

Excellent film, very moving. It really gets you thinking about your life. Those who found it a "snoozefest" did not allow themselves to be drawn in by the story or analyze its depths of meaning. If you are looking for a great tale, bring along some attentiveness and you'll really enjoy it!

I didn't find that it ran too long like some people wrote. I thought it was interesting the entire way through; however, although I love Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, I didn't really get emotionally involved with either character. I felt indifferent at the end of the movie.

A really wonderful movie with great acting, moral underpinnings and fabulous acting. The interconnectedness of humans really is evident.....I rarely buy or see movies more than once but I will buy this one and see it again....

FORREST GUMP RIP OFF! The first half of the movie is quite engaging and draws you in and I thought wow, it is good. Unfortunately the film drags on for an hour too long and unlike Forrest Gump or the Titanic which were so superb that the time flew, Benjamin Button begins to lag and it becomes a matter of filling in the blanks and giving us as much info on what happened to the characters as possible. It's quite tedious as is Cate Blanchett's fake "old voice" which really began to grate on my nerves. The makeup job, the concept and the first half fantastic. I really struggled not to walk out during the last hour and I didn't know until after but my partner had been feeling the same way, as did
