Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Sorry, this movie sucks
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Anyone that has lived through the 60's and 70's has seen this level of pretentiousnous before. Or at least has seen the glowing, wide eyed fawning over this level of pretentiousness before. The mind numbing attention to technical detail never lets you forget that you are watching something "significant". In the midst of some first rate acting, the actors never seem to become comfortable with the choreography required to stay out of the cameras' way.
I watched this two years ago then I accidentally pumped into its page and I remembered the two hours I've wasted of my life. It made me sad all over again.
I must admit that I had initially expected this to be somewhat of a superhero movie, so it was quite something else entirely as I sat down to watch "Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)".Michael Keaton carries the movie quite nicely, and Edward Norton was a great supporting actor, though he was given way too little screen time in my opinion. I think that Edward Norton really would have given so much more to the movie if he had a bigger role or more time on the screen.The storyline was somewhat confusing to me, although still entertaining enough for the most parts.I did, however, find the movie was way too long though, and it seemed like it could have served it better if they had trimmed it down from two hours to something like an hour and thirty minutes. And I feel that very little would have been lost to the movie as a whole even if they had edited down to an hour and a half.This is not the type of movie that warrants a second viewing, as it just didn't have the contents for supporting that.
If there was an oscar for worst movie ever, this movie deserves it the most. an utter waste of time
