Great Actors, Pretentious and Boring Plot

Rating: 1/10 (12 November 2014)

On BIRDMAN - I do respect intelligent movies, but I cannot stand pseudo-intelligent movies that eventually become boring and arrogant by releasing the plot little by little, as if we were babies to be spoon-fed the story. Producers/Directors who think they have a captive audience end up losing it. The actors are indeed great, but they did not save the story line and the presumptuous manner in which it was delivered. I can understand an intelligent movie if it speaks to me. However, I found the plot and dialogues unnecessarily confusing, mysterious, obscure, pretentious. It seems that people feel embarrassed to criticize a script when they can show off how smart they are for having understood it. I had a great nap, sorry.
