Technically brilliant movie

Rating: 7/10 (4 February 2015)

This movie has been in the news for quite sometime, and here in India, movies like these are getting released after 2-3 months of its US release. Never-mind, I marked my calendar and booked tickets to this movie, as soon as it opened. I was having quite high expectations on this movie, and I was a whole lot disappointed when I finished watching it.
Pros Top notch performance, from the core actors. Be it, Keaton, or Norton, or Stone. Everyone delivered their best. Here, there are lot of actors who would be blindly stated as Hollywood equivalent actors. To all those people who compare home grown actors to Hollywood actors, I would just say "Learn what is acting, from Michael Keaton in BIRDMAN."
Movie making it self is a great plus here. I found it hard, to see where the scenes were cut, and where the editing was happening. The no. of scenes in this movie would be easily more, than your average movie. Things were happening so damn fast. Simply put, this would stand as the example of modern day film making. Crisp scenes, fast screenplay, razor sharp editing.
This is all you got in the movie. There is nothing else to talk about. When I came out of the movie hall, I was totally disappointed. I was feeling left out and craving for more. The emotions are not so deep. The characters are confusing. There is no life in this movie. And, when I knew that Interstellar, and Nightcrawler were overlooked in the award ceremonies for this movie, I felt really bad. Disappointed. Heart broken.
This is a very very average movie, with modern filming techniques. But, this alone doesn't make it a masterpiece guys. The movie lacks a gripping screenplay.
