neither hate it nor love it

Rating: 5/10 (26 March 2015)

I've seen a lot of good and a lot of bad reviews on this movie. My view is more understanding with the bad, i cant see how anyone could give this film over a 5. I feel I am being generous, and I'm simply giving a 5 for keatons efforts, which i think were the only redeeming feature of the film.
Its just boring, pretentious, trying to be artsy, but in fact, it has no substance. It keeps overlapping too, scene after scene of pretty much the same things, no real drive in the film, very weak plot, and pretty boring dialogue. Everyone in the movie was depressed, and it made me want birdman to come back and execute the lot of them.
Keaton acted well in the film and portrayed an actor struggling to come to terms with lack of attention and fame and trying to make it on Broadway, while the whole time, knowing he used to be a Hollywood sensation. I though the film would have shown real emotional struggles and maybe make us feel sympathetic, but it didn't, i just though the characters were annoying.
The final scene was so stupid and just summed up the whole film really.
