Daring but Ugly FilmObnoxious and Highly Overrated

Rating: 6/10 (18 April 2015)

From the opening Ugly Credits, this Experimental Film remains Ugly. The Actors are Ugly, even Managing to make Naomi Watts look Ugly. The "Soundtrack" is Headache Inducingly Ugly, the Dialog is Ugly, Spoken by Ugly Self-Involved Theatrical Stereotypes and other Stock Characters.
Like the straight from Rehab, and Ugly looking Emma Stone. A Miscast Edward Norton shows up at His most Ugly and Strips to the Bare Bone just In case You didn't notice how Ugly He and His Character are.
Preaching to the Choir of Artsy Types that Loathe the Ultra-Success of Billion Dollar Superhero Film Franchises, and Lovers of "The Theatre" that tend to Hate "The Movies", The Film Panders with Self Righteous Verbiage about the virtue of this as opposed to that and it just goes On and On for an Ugly Two Hours.
Spitting in the Eye of Moviegoers who flock to the aforementioned Franchised Films, it Casts Michael Keaton (played Batman Twice) as a Self-Parody. The Whole Film is Shot in Long Takes with a "Look at Me" Conceit that may be Difficult to a point, but with Todays Steadicams hardly unattainable with some Blocking an Attention.
Overall, its an Ugly, Self-Involved Piece of "Different" Cinema, but being different to be different is different than really being "Different" (Lynch, Burton, Tarantino).
Overrated and another Best Picture Oscar Winner that will no doubt reduce the in decline Prestige of the Academy. At least in the eyes of those that line up in the Billions to see Super Hero Movies.
...and possibly some others.
