    I saw this movie on an acadamy awards screening dvd thanks to my aunt, and thought it was an amazing movie.

    For any of you who saw it in theaters, what were your opinions?

    I'm semi-interested in seeing this I just don't know if I'll be willing to pay theater prices to see it.

    I didn't like it, and left before the movie was over. I don't know what I expected, but it didn't reach my expectations at all. Could it be my great dislike of Brad Pitt? Perhaps, but I thought my devotion to Cate Blanchett would overshadow my feeling towards what's his face. Guess not! If you looking at like creepy, wrinkly old babies, this movie is for you.

    4/10

    yeah I was sort of intrigued by the commercials...just not to the point where I'd stop being lazy and go see it
    maybe when it comes out on video

    I thought it has a cool story, but I heard it was 3 hours long. My cousin saw it with a lady friend and said he thought it was cool, but I don't think I am going to go see it.

    I saw the movie in the theatre, and it wasn't bad, but it wasn't all that great. I thought the plot dragged a little bit (i was expecting that from a 3 hour movie) but it was alright.
    Also, was it just me, or did i miss why he was born old? I would have like to have them give a reason. And the grandmother's speech was kinda hard to understand.
    i'd give a 7.5/10.
