The Unexpected Virtue of Awesomeness

Rating: 8/10 (4 March 2015)

When I first heard about this movie I thought it was gonna actually be a superhero movie but once I saw it I was surprised at how incredibly wonderful it was. It was about a washed up actor who once did superhero movies such as Bird man, Bird man 2, and Bird man 3. Michael Keaton did a terrific job with this role and I think it's because he is a now washed up actor who played superheroes such as Batman, and Batman Returns. But he is beginning to be known for more than just Batman. But what made me incredibly intrigued in this film was the ending when he jumped out of a hospital window and his daughter came into the room and looked out the window and looked up and smiled as if he were flying. Which we had seen earlier in the film when he was having a mental breakdown. I think what that ending was him pretending his daughter saw him flying in his last moments of life. But I can be wrong, it is a possibility that he actually does have the power to fly but I want to think of this movie being logical and not having superpowers. But aside from all of the confusion all of the character interactions were clever and heartfelt and occasionally hilarious. Edward Norton did a great performance again as he pretty much always has. Emma Stone I found was also incredibly talented. This is a must see!
