Simply the best!

Rating: 10/10 (13 January 2015)

I had to create an account to review this movie and dis-spell some the critiques of this movie. Like the 'Artsy' quality being there as some pretentious 'fuck you'. There are layers to every art form and I can say this transcends a lot and does it well. The chaotic nature of the tone is an intended purpose, the dialogue is carefully crafted and flows with an almost poetic quality. I simply do not get these reviews berating this great movie, I get the twelve year old expecting some wafer thin action/comedy flick about a superhero. The satire of this film isn't only surface deep, it goes as far to criticize the very life of the actors playing their respective roles. As Keaton who played Batman and Norton who is notoriously difficult on set. The shots were complex and masterfully cut. The score set the tone of Riggan's mind, which co-incidentally is also a satire of the method to madness many actors employ on set, mirroring the issues many actors carry with them and ironically carry them to greatness and down again.
There isn't some great conspiracy by Hollywood where pretentious movie critics flock around this movie to SEEM intellectual, however it does seem you need an intellect capable of seeing past a surface to actually enjoying this, so in that aspect a lot of the audience seems to have this movie fly right over their heads. There is a reason this has gotten critical acclaim in the press, and is a shoe in for an Oscar, not to mention it's two Golden Globes. It's not that they're ALL pretending to like a movie to seem smarter, it might be you're just not clever enough to enjoy it.
