Excellent actors, good performance, great directing, boring movie.

Rating: 1/10 (5 February 2015)

I never write reviews, but this movie deserves it, I usually have a lot of patience, I even enjoyed movie musicals. I like unusual, artsy, complicated films, but didn't enjoyed this one.
I have watched some trailers of the movie, already knew the plot, and at first wasn't interested in watch it, but after seen an IMDb score of 8.3 and 8.8 in Metascore, and a few reviews online, I was convinced that this was a good movie. As always the trailers show you the bests parts and the best specials effects of the movie.
My parents wanted to go and see it, because they thought this is a movie about a superhero.
The first thing that grab my attention was Alejandro González Iñárritu long takes, it make me wonder how they did some of them, some of the are pretty obvious where they cut the scene (like when they open or close doors). Sometimes this longs shots distract me from the dialog or plot (if there's one). But great work on the editing department.
Michael Keaton (Riggan) performance is the best thing of this movie, all the other big name actors (Stone, Galifianakis, E. Norton, N. Watts) perform as expected; excellent, but somehow I feel like they were wasted here. The great performance of Emma Stone is in a scene where she transforms and capture the audience, exploding and letting out the feelings for his father, it's the only moment in the movie where I care for Riggan, also it's the scene that was pinned in my head after watching the movie, I like that kind of movies that even after days of seen it, You keep thinking about the dialog, morals, theories, history, relations or even the special effects, this movie was just this scene with Emma. At some point of the movie i felt like Norton was competing with Keaton in who is a better actor.
The timing of the actors in the shots it's impressive, and I just imagine the effort to do the long shots without any mistakes. Subplots are presented to the viewer, but since this is a movie about Riggan, they are forgotten easily.
I didn't like the Jazzy bar music, make felt like I was in one of those hipster bars, like they were rehearsing, I like Jazz music, but it didn't help me get into the scenes.
Somehow I feel like this movie was made to please the Professional Critic Reviewers and actors, than the normal/common people. Also why the heck is listed as comedy in this site, a satire, but not comedy. I was expecting a twist turn or something to happen, that moment came almost at the end of the movie, an it was almost disappointing, I like the Ending though, but after the credits roll-out, I wanted to hit myself for watching this 2 hr. "film" (replace "film" with any bad word it came to your head right now).
I rated 3, because I liked Iñárritu distracting long shots, good acting and nice Birdman FXs (best part of the movie).
Definitively this movie is different and unique, thanks to Iñárritu, but it's painfully long and boring.
Go watch it if you're a movie critic, an actor or want to waste 2 hrs. of your life.
