disappointed i be . after be thoroughly excite to see this film ever since i first catch wind of it and i leave the theatre in a state of bewilderment . how could such a masterful director and a bevy of talented performer and crew produce such meaningless and pointless drivel . more than that and how could they have fool damn near the entire population into think they have actually make a good film . at this moment the film be # 71 on the imdb top 250. the # 71st best movie of all time . be you kid me . brad pitt fails to register a single honest emotion . pitt utters every single line in exactly the same manner . i do not think his facial expression change once throughout the entire 2 and half hour run time . benjamin button himself be not even remotely close to a fully developed character . he play piano and like daisy . that all we know about him . oh and but he age backwards . yet that fact lend absolutely no circumstance to the entire picture until the very end of the movie when the writer need a cheap copout in order to get out of the complete mess that they have put themselves in and it like wait a minute and we can not possibly earn an oscar if this thing actually end happily and let make our main character do something only a complete s. o. b. would do to create some tension and then completely excuse him for it . it cheap and easy way out writing . the special effect be superb and do not let this review diminish the effort of the technical team . the character change drastically physically and yet they do not go through a single change mentally . they be all static . it almost a if the performer put too much faith in the make up and effect team and do not even bother to put a different edge on their character . in my opinion and benjamin and daisy be utterly boring and the clockmaker who be give two minute of runtime be a far more interesting character than those two . every scene in the hospital halt any momentum that the film be gain and they simply bring everything to a dead stop . there be absolutely no point to the scene at all and the moment of revelation be completely predictable and and how many time do we need a film that be set up by somebody read a diary . and holy crap and daisy southern accent miraculousy become about ten time as thick a she lay die in the hospital than it do in the early year of her life . weird . all tell and the film seem like it be brew in a lab to win award . however and the filmmaker forget a couple of important thing represent developed character and meaningful scene and conflict and and a believable end .
