The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Critics roared that the Curious Case of Benjamin Button is the best film of the year. Personally, I didn't think it was that great. Don't get me wrong, I liked it and thought it was one of the years better movies, just not the best. As many critics will tell you, the film was too long. And I agree. Three hours is stretching it. But it would have been better if there was more excitement in the film, but it had no major climax, and was just one fairly boring story.
Brad Pitt did a great job as Benjamin Button and thought that his acting was the best part of the movie. Another part I liked was the computer generation that made him not only look older, but also younger. Twenty years ago we might have been able to make a person look older with some make up, but thanks to today's CGI (computer generated images) technology, we have mastered the ability to age and un-age a person in the blink of an eye.
Although it was not the best, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was a great film, and worthy of the Best picture nomination. But i personally think that it just earns the nomination, not the win. I give The Curious Case of Benjamin Button a 9.4.
