This is a normal post i hate super hero films
I hate super hero comics too, and super hero anything, because it is such a childishly shit idea pretending to be a grown up one, and endlessly repeated. You don't have to go and see them, but that doesn't stop them being everywhere, constantly reminding you that you live in a world full of idiots.

To my mind this is the best "super hero" film ever made:

This is a normal post Same here
Whilst "you don't have to go and see them", Hollywood seems to want to make very little else. Most times I've fancied going to the cinema in the last year, there's been nothing on to tempt me.

I did fancy that Birdman thing, but a really pretentious guy from the office said it was the best film he's seen in ages, so I decided it's probably wank.

This is a normal post Birdman was the worst thing I've seen in ages. A massive disappointment as I was really looking forward to seeing it.
There were a couple of good(ish) moments but not enough to redeem it and make me stop begrudging its very existence by the time I was halfway through.

This is a normal post I thought it was fantastic, like an exceptionally well executed stage play
terrific performances from all cast members, thoroughly recommended.
But if you don't like actory stuff and want muscle men shooting bad guys it's not for you.

This is a normal post I really didn't get it to be well executed though.
I understand the stage comparison as there is the very defined sense of space it's all taking place in and has a ring of Mamet or Dogville to it in that way. I just don't think it was pulled off in a way that felt satisfying to view.

Did anyone else really struggle to hear the early dialogue too? Maybe that was the fault of the cinema I viewed it in and not the film itself.

This is a normal post there's a memory of one
Michael Keaton plays an ageing actor trying to make a credible stage show in the face of being best known for comic book movie "Birdman" 30 years ago.

This is a normal post plus he runs around Times Square in his pants
so it's pretty much an exact remake of Superman

This is a normal post They seem like a very easy way to make a film these days
lots of flashy graphics, jaw dropping action, and virtually nothing in the way of a script or actual story.

This is a normal post that's the point of them though isn't it?

This is a normal post I don't care much for super hero films, but some classic comics
were pretty awe inspiring for me. Of course, I was probably 6 or 8 at the time, but those like Batman - Venom or Spider-Man - Kraven's Last Hunt are decent.
