Benjamin Button barely succeeded at one and failed miserably at the other (as many films do).Asking what the point of a movie is, when you finish watching it and ask, "What the hell was THE POINT of me sitting here for hours and blowing money for the privilege?" is perfectly fair.

The point of any movie is to tell a story. Some will like the story and how it was handled, some will not. But, seriously, asking what's ''the point'' in a movie is just nonsense.
