My Response: This film has been highly anticipated since the project first began filming, and it doesn't seem to disappoint. Director David Fincher and star Brad Pitt have made two previous films together (Fight Club & Se7en), both of which were tremendous. Benjamin Button looks to stay on par with those two previous triumphs, and it has generated quite a bit of Oscar buzz for Pitt. See it.
