Won four Oscars for what?

Rating: 1/10 (8 March 2015)

I don't get it. this movie was a total waste of two hours of my time. I heard it won some Oscars so I thought I may like it, that was a joke. The Oscars must have been for the worst movie ever thrown onto the big screen. It is slow, painful and at best disjointed in its story. Trying to souse out what is happening from one minute to the next is more like stressful work then any form of enjoyment I have ever found while watching a movie. IMHO, Not worth the Oscars, not worth the money spent on buying the movie and truly not worth our time watching it. The main character is very tedious to watch, his slow battle with his internal demons/mental illness is very weak in its basis. Then add a supporting cast of others that are also fighting their own demons and the movie quickly turns into a romper room of sorts. You never feel totally invested in the main character when all are vying for the lead dramatic spot and none truly fill the role. It really is sad that the story could not have felt more stable and solid. Michael Keaton seemed to be trying to make a character out of nothing. I commend his efforts but still, effort does not a movie make.
