2 hours of my life I'll never get back

Rating: 3/10 (27 August 2017)

'Birdman' has got to be a contender for one of the worst Oscar winners of all time. Quite how this crap won not one, not two, not three... but FOUR Oscars is beyond me. I hated it, everything from the pretentious script and the boring story to the nauseating camera-work and that never ending, highly irritating drum kit soundtrack, which I can still hear playing in my head now.
Michael Keaton and the rest of this star-studded cast provide the only positive to speak of. The acting in 'Birdman' is very good and Keaton delivers a strong lead, it's just a pity that such a good performance is wasted in such a dreadful film. Anybody expecting a comedy, by the way, is in for a shock when they discover that the entire two hours is entirely laugh free. This is, in my opinion, one of 2014's worst films... four Oscars my arse.
