I watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button last night for the first time. I thought it was very, very good, and the effects and makeup were fantastic. But, it seemed almost like a retelling of Forest Gump- Did you get that feeling? I mean they both had an innocent, good-hearted main character with a condition, a love interest that kept coming in and out, and the main character traveling and affecting all the people he met.

Hi megumiart. I've watched both of these movies and I didn't get this feeling at all. I thought both were very good and interesting in their own way. The only complaint I have about Benjamin Button was that I couldn't catch most of what the elderly woman said. Though I do understand who she was. Happy mylotting!

This movie is really interesting.. They were able to put as much drama, romance and comic scenes and perfectly balanced it in the story.. I really liked this movie, I even cried in some scenes, especially the part when Benjamin has returned to his family to see his daughter and the ending scene when the daughter realized that all the postcards are for her, not for her mom.. It was a worth watching movie.

Hi megumiart...when i first heard of the movie coming out it made me think of a statement i hear years ago. and that is, "Nature has it backwards. We should be born old and become younger." Along the way i met people who agreed or disagreed with that idea. hehe. then i heard of this movie. but i have now seen it. go me it looks kind of sad. i'm glad you thot it was good. that makes it worth your time and trouble to watch it. there's nothing like wasting your life on a BAD movie. hehe. i would think it would be good with Brad Pitt in it. you know that he would give a good performance.

I watched it a while ago. I was also impressed by the make up. I thought it was overall good, but a little boring because it was so long. I get what you mean when you say it reminds of Forest Gump in a way, but retelling it; No, I don't agree.
