Would you guys say that this is David Fincher's best film? I haven't seen his other movies in years so I need a bit of a refresher.

I loved this movie so much.

What I really liked about it was that Benjamin Button was trying to live a quiet, normal life and was not attempting to do epic, grand things.

I recently saw the film and I have to say I liked it, but it wasn't the BEST movie

It was visually pleasing, I enjoyed looking at it, but it was too long with too little conflict to keep my interested for 3 whole hours

SPOILERS
I wish there was more time Benjamin spent in the war,that would have been so much more interesting if it was more than just that one scene on the tug boat where everyone else dies
Benjamin really didn't do anything, which reminded me too much of Forrest Gump,

I did cry at the end though, so I am sort of conflicted....

I always felt it got that gump feel to it even before I read it was from the same director.

It didn't have the same director, it had the same screenwriter. A shame that FIncher sold out to the GUMPs.

Whoa, that clip is really something. Did Fincher just have no idea what he was doing? Is he really that culturally isolated that he had NO IDEA he was making a remake of FORREST GUMP?

So, will they be opening a restaurant across the street from Bubba Gump's where they serve your meal dessert or after dinner drink first?

I finally got around to watching it and agree with what most say here. It was a little too long, a little too Gump like, a few too many plot holes, but I did cry at the end. That baby was beautiful. I just don't really get Benjamin leaving her and his daughter to run around for 10 years only to come back and then end up being cared for by her anyway. Then how did she live in this home and care for this child for what 4-5 years and her daughter never know? eh, it was lovely anyway. I loved the Louisiana scenery.
