Review of Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) by Kim B — 19 Jan 2016
Stupid ending and just overall weird and a bit vapid, While it is nice again to see Keaton, Norton, and watts, the movie itself stunk. I liked the play on batman with bird man and the acting was good, but that's about it.
I really didn't care for the jazz or the constantly dizzying camerawork. I didn't like the fantastical ambiguous parts either. I definitely did not like the predictable gun shot and then retarded obscure flying ending.
Very one-dimensional side characters-The greedy agent, bitter critic, understanding wife, self-absorbed actor, druggy neglected kid, etc... I didn't like the script that much either. Lots of stupid clips of behind the scenes Broadway that felt forced, edgy, and trying too hard to be cool.
This one is for the birds. I recommend seeing a real Broadway show than this.
