Just watched Benjamin Button...B+/A-...not really sure where it'll end up.

Posted by Will Hunting (aka kelly) May 6 '09, 17:07

Pitt was very strong, Blanchett was her usual strong self.

Main thing to detract from it was the pacing was slow; for something that was an epic story, I wished there'd been more "What happens to us on the way past" thoughts which was the main crux.

Seen 4 of the 5 best pic nominees and I think this one is going to be my 2nd favorite "Best Picture" as it was a pretty strong well-rounded movie.

Acting was better in Frost/Nixon and Milk but this was strong. But Slumdog was better clearly imo.

these were basically my thoughts too. slow at first, but i felt that it found its pace for the last 1/3. - Guy May 6, 17:15 1
- I don't disagree. The cinematography was very strong. -- nm - Will Hunting May 6, 17:17
