it was ok, I just watched it. I never felt any emotional connection to any of the characters nor did the story do anything special. When comparing it to other movies, Forrest Gump comes to mind. Very similar in many ways. Except in Forrest Gump, the story was far more developed and believable and the characters had far more depth and dimension.
In Benjamin Button, there was no explanation whatsoever for his condition. A vague mention of some backwards running clock, but nothing to explain it. All and all I would MAYBE recommend it on dvd, but I could sit here an poke holes in the plot all night long. Whereas movies like Forrest Gump left a lasting impression and a true connection with the characters. I say skip it.
