I have to say sean penn did a fantastic job so did mickey rourke I may be one sided on this but I thought benjamin button was good and the acting was good but oscar worthy good not really.

although Penn did a great job and I started to like nixon as played by Frank Langella, I must say that I'm a big big fan of this man: Richard Jenkins, he's one of those actors with a lot of roles and little recognition for his brilliance...

Did an excellent job in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

The others may have been as good as him (I haven't seen all these movies) but it's time that Hollywood recognises that Brad's a very talented actor, not just a pretty face...he was amazing in this film

Mickey Rourke was amazing. Sean Penn was great as well.

To be fair it's the only one I've seen, but Brad was amazing. I really, really want to see The Wrestler as well.

ah just love the guy:)
