So I just got around to watching this.
What is everyone's opinion?
True kino
I love it, but /tv/ shits on it for some odd reason.

Fairly good but not great.
>>67880938
Because it shits on their beloved capeshit
>>67880938
Because capecucks are 95% on /tv/, so obviously Reality Check: The film, will trigger them.
It was cool to watch.
Great acting. Great direction.
Got a bit up its own ass in a few scenes, and the purposefully ambiguous ending felt lazy as fuck. But whatever.

I figured.
I love when he's flying behind him giving him that speech haha. He knows capeshit gets a billion worldwide! Guaranteed
I feel like the one shot camera look made this movie and without it it would be bland
>>67880899
form your own you fucking millennial
Pretentious as fuck but still enjoyable
>>67880899
It sucks ass...
But my capeshit is art, is not funny when they make fun of it. B-Birdman is pretentious.
masturbatory boring shit for film makers and wannabes
its schtick is there is no cut in the movie or something
every Best Picture winner makes me distrust the Oscars more and more and this was no exception
birdman? more like tour-de-forced
the virtuosity on display evidently is enough for many to praise this stunt to the sky, but even that virtue isn't all it's cracked up to be: a lot of the performances suffer as the result of the long-take format. keaton's teeth-grinding approach is up and down, and emma stone appears completely lost without the editorial control afforded by traditional cutting. (norton on the other hand is a force of nature and puts everyone else in the cast to shame)
the script is riddled with "punchy" lines that whiff terribly, and the "enigmatic" final shot is a copout (especially frustrating because the film teases us over and over again with faux-suicides).
but mostworst is that the film is a daisy chain of potshots. this is meant to be an "incisive" film but it's more like a manic stabbing at an empty pillowcase with a butterknife. what exactly is this film's perspective, besides the fact that everyone and everything is riddled with bullshit? the only truth "birdman" actually clarifies is that inarritu's purview is hopelessly jaundiced and pathetic. this junk isn't really inside riggan thompson's head (despite the gimmick-laden scenes of "introspection"), it's just underneath his wig. a simpleminded piece of unenjoyable trash whose countless shortcomings are masked by competent execution of choices made in the pre-production process, and in some ways one of 2014s worst releases.

You're already wired to hate them, whatever they may be.

I don't get it, how does this movie shit on capeshit? Sure, Riggan at first hated being associated with Birdman and was obsessed with MUH ART. Then he stops giving a shit and embraces his reputation. If anything it shits on those who cry about capeshit and how movies should only be about art.
enjoyed it
>>67880899
overrated as fuck but definitely a good movie
I wish cape tourists would leave
alejandro gonzalez iñarritu is a hack
