Hmmm... as they say dont believe the hype... shades of forrest gump, but must say better. must say i was watching the clock... "how long is this movie??"

I hate to rain on any parade, but this long-winded, slow moving totally fictional and non-belieavable film attempts to capture the audience into a world which simply just does not exist - and never will. The film has certain moments which attract your attention, but many minutes where you could easily catch a nap and not miss a thing.

Without Brad Pitt's starring role, this film simply would not be worth watching. Unfortunately the ending is clearly the most beautiful and best part of the movie - the only pity is that it takes two and a half hours to get there.

If you don't enter the movie with a totally open mind you will not discover any joy. If you love a tear jerker and can easily get involved in sad stories, then maybe this is for you. I'd say to the ladies that you'd be better off going with your friends than dragging your partners along.

An hour shorter and I might have got interested.

Benjamin Button was great it went for long but that was great it got so much if the story into them 3hrs so i loved it highly reccomend it to anyone who loves long movies.

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I felt the 3hr length justified as I felt the film was able to unfold as if one was reading a book. The film's length allowed it to include all the details and character unfolding necessary to feel a connection with the characters and storyline, which sometimes may be missed in shorter tales. I enjoyed the originality of the concept. On a technical level, the special aging effects developed were very cleverly done. Cate & Brad were believable as soulmates in this engaging film. Also, Brad's character was heartwarming in his ability to forgive and accept people for all their whims, faults & ways. It aptly portrays the enduring quality of love and how love has the power to transcend earthly illusions to the truth and heart of the matter.

this movie is soo boring for teenagers and kids but for adults it is probaly ok for them. When i went to see it i fell asleep during most of it. It also goes for too long i mean 3 and a half hours! that is too long for that story line.

A very sad and moving love story. Brad Pitt was okay for once although still a bit wooden. Cate Blanchett was very good as usual. The Southern accents and the voice overs getting tiresome at times. The best things where the concept of the movie and thr great makeup for aging the actors, Cate and Brad will now have some idea of what is in store for them, but wait a minute no-one in Hollywood ages so maybe not!!!

My husband and I just saw the movie today and unanimously agreed it was a brilliant movie. Love the performances and the special effects were well done. I bawled my eyes out toward the end. Really beautiful.
