Birdman: a good litmus test

To gauge your artsy-fartsy threshold for judging movies.
Acting was great, characters and development was great.
But to me, it just didn't go anywhere. I'm more of an adventure, action, drama fan so I guess it's just subjective but I kept waiting, hoping for something to happen.
Perhaps I was expecting something different.

The trailer looked interesting.. I started a streaming copy and it buffered and I paused and never started it back up.
I'll follow this thread and if it trends upward and if it does, I'll revisit.

It was really unique right up until the ending which made no sense, and wasn't earned in any way.

I was a big fan of the "one long, continuous shot" style it had going on. The ending was fine. One of the better movies of last year.

Sounds like you were hoping for more of the same.

right there with you
maybe I just didn't get it, but it just felt like so much work for who knows what
liked the continuous shot idea, but the jazz score was overdone and really distracting
what the hell was the point of getting Mike together with the daughter? That was a lot of glib conversation we watched for seemingly no reason

I don't get how people think it went nowhere or nothing happened. What would you have preferred to see happen?

Birdman is the only movie I've ever seen besides Highlander where, during my first viewing, I found myself eagerly anticipating scene transitions.
Bram Stoker's Dracula (Gary Oldman version) had some pretty good transitions as well...but didn't really grab me the first time through in the same way.

I watched Birdman last night.
I thought it was good. Very well acted and I liked the story. Like many movies, the ending didn't suit me, but I'm used to that.
In my artsy-fartsy threshold for judging movies, I think it was a very good movie. Exponentially better than most of the crap movies that are green-lighted and made today. The story captures that. Michael Keaton as lead nails it for RL and in the film.
