John Maguire, has a blog called Confessions of a Film Critic where he posts movie reviews occasionally. This week he just wrote a review on The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
Maquire has a... I want to say interesting but honestly, I think it is convoluted. He tries very hard to make the review enticing so that it stands out to the reader but it doesn't work. Mr. Maguire's attempts at pithy observations are really just ways of stating the obvious. When he says that the success of the movie hinges on the audience accepting the central premise of Benjamin Button aging backwards he does not seem to realize that this is a risk that every movie takes.
Once John Maguire is done waxing philosophic he actually produces a very good review. He parsed down the plot into a manageable synopsis considering the length of the movie itself and provides insightful criticism on all the major aspects of the film from acting to directing to cinematography thus making an article which actually tells me all I need to know about the film to make a judgment on whether or not I should spend my money on it. Now if he could just work on his style.
