This 3 hr movie could easily be condensed into 2. Some parts were boring...def. not plot driven. But the style and setting make you feel like you're in a magical story and the lengthiness promotes this sense of being IN that world. Afterall, you're following the whole life of benjamin button and you can't just fast forward it. It's nice to see the concept of reverse aging carried out to its full extent. That lady in the hospital and her yogurt eating apple crunching daughter is super annoying. Her voice and accent is far more ridiculous and grueling than batman's. And that scene in which brad pitt is 18 years old - if you're going to put so much makeup on him, than at least shorten the scene. instead, you get this brad pitt doll standing there, unable to make any sort of expression lest the undereye wrinkle stiffener cracks. terrible... a strange movie. im glad i saw it though.
