\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Watched “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button<\/a>” in the movies yesterday.\u00a0 Excellent film!<\/p>\n

First of all, an original story.\u00a0 Secondly, interesting historical recreaction and mix of times from beginning of the last century to these days.\u00a0 Thirdly, impressive technically – acting, make-up, camera work, special effects, etc.\u00a0 Fourthly, the film is both entertaining, as well as philosophical.<\/p>\n

And if that all sounds like way too perfect, maybe it is.\u00a0 However there were a few things that could have done better.\u00a0 I thought that the film was a bit too long, and that the ending was somewhat unrealistic – which is fine, but just doesn’t fit the rest of the film.<\/p>\n

Overall, an excellent experience.\u00a0 Much recommended.\u00a0 5 stars<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
