The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button (DVD) Reviews

I loved this film and after watching it was in my thoughts for days as it really touched my heart. Of course the story is totally unrealistic and bizarre but absolutely brilliant and fascinating. Cate Blanchett is a wonderful actress and teamed with Brad Pitt they really made the film. Brad Pitt's performance as Benjamin ...  Read the complete review

I watched 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' a few days ago and have been wondering how to write a review on this very different sort of story. Let me start off by saying that I really enjoyed the movie and was weeping by the end of it. On the other hand my husband was bored to tears and compared it to watching paint dry! Obviously ...  Read the complete review

Watching Cate Blanchett is like being a front of a pile of unopened presents: you just dont know what you'll get. Brilliant in 'Notes on a Scandal' but pretty rubbish in 'The Missing', I was filled with just a little sense of trepidation before deciding to brave 2 and 1/2 hours of film. Fortunately this proved to be one of her ...  Read the complete review

I really like Cate Blanchett as an actress so, although I've never been all that struck on Brad Pitt, I thought this would be worth a look. The concept is based around a guy who is born old and becomes younger exploring all the issues that arise from that. Of course, whether you like a film is such a subjective thing but ...  Read the complete review

Every now and then a heart warming story with great acting, makeup, special effects and score comes along that gets the Oscar buzz, such as Forrest Gump. 2008 presents this again with The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button. Based on a 1922 short story by F Scott Fitzgerald, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button follows the unique ...  Read the complete review

I can't believe that this film has been knocked so much in reviews. It is a truly magnificent film and I believe it deserved to win more Oscars than it did. The story begins with Daisy, an old woman who is dying in hospital, being visited by her daughter. Daisy asks her daughter to read a book to her. We soon find out that the ...  Read the complete review

What a wonderful film. Bejamin is born old and ditched by his greiving dad in an old folks home and there proceeds to grow backwards. Meeting Cate Blachette and a fabulous Tilda Swinton on the way. He eventually falls for and lives/marries Cate and has a daughter, but it is all downhill for him from there. I watched this with my ...  Read the complete review

Enjoyed every minute of this film and was pleasently suprised with the entartainment it gave me. Brad Pitt as usual played a great charactor, the make up was fantastic and believeable - by this i mean with all charactors within the film Benjamin getting younger as the rest of the cast getting older but still easy to ...  Read the complete review

I did not expect to enjoy this movie quite as much as I actually did and it was a pleasingly entertainin bit of film making that swept me along with some good performances and a pleasing story line that had me bouncing around with my emotions ranging from happiness to sadness and even reaching for a tissue to mop up the odd tear as ...  Read the complete review

(film only review) I had a look at the other Dooyoo reviews of this film the other night before I watched the DVD and read a few of the better ones before deciding whether or not to add my own two penn'orth to the points of view. I found I disagreed with quite a few points raised and so decided to add my own opinion. ...  Read the complete review

This film received a lot of hype so i thought i would check it out. It is a really good film the plot is very original and the film is deep and emotional. Brad Pitt does an amazing job, his performance is touching, real and he really embraces his characters personality and emotions. It couldn't have been easy to imagine what the ...  Read the complete review

I wanted to watch this as soon as I saw it advertised, mainly because of Brad Pitt who I think is one of the best actors around with his ability to change his own persona to become someone else (yes I know this is the idea of acting...but many actors can't do this and act as themselves with a different name and life story). So when I saw ...  Read the complete review

A very curious film that basically I don't understand how it ever came to production. Without ruining the entire plot of the film I can safely say that it is so farfetched and completely pointless that it doesn't really grab you at all. Brad Pitt is the main draw to this film and undoubtedly his performance was brilliant but I felt that ...  Read the complete review

I don't watch tv but my sister was watching one day as i stuck my head round the corner and a trailer for this came on. After just seeing the trailer alone i was intrigued to what this film was about and really wanted to see it for myself. I watch alot of films, but not really many hit the mark with me and not really many i ...  Read the complete review

i bought this film when it came out on bluray after id seen the trailer and liked what i saw. First thing to say is that the makeup artists/special effects people did an amazing job with this film. You see Benjamin (played by Brad Pitt) age in reverse and the close up shots are amazing, especially considering i was watching ...  Read the complete review

I was excited to see the film from the first time i saw the trailer,the idea seemed pretty unique and i was waiting for it to release.Finally,caught up with it just before the oscars,and i thought it would be one of the fore-runners. As much as it sounds interesting on paper,it is probably not that interesting,mainly due to ...  Read the complete review
