Advantages: good acting

Disadvantages: too long for me

I went to see this film in the cinema on friday, it was a packed audience on a much talked about film.

The film was very long, lasting just under 3 hours, however despite a few parts that dragged on, it was an interesting story and one that kept my attention for the most part of the film.

The main characters were brad pitt who played benjamin and cate blanchett, who played the leading lady role. Both were superb in there roles, and i'd say brad pitt made this movie.

The story was one of an emotional roller coaster, it was a little like forest gump, and had a huge impact on me, im still thinking about it now. The story was full of highs and lows, and had a great narration all the way through.

I especially thought the makeup artisits did an exceptional job, on both brad pitt and cate blanchett, i dont know how they made brad pitt look so small, or so young, but it was totally believable.

The funny characters in the film were benjamins mother and the main who kept getting struck by lighting, these characters were very good, and definetely needed in this quite heavy film.

Overall i'd recommend this film, it was a good story, but one i do think i wouldnt want to watch twice. I think its definetely worth a watch though, as the film is very well produced and completely absorbed me into it.

Summary: a very well prduced film
