So sick of Hollywood

Rating: 1/10 (20 March 2015)

Four Academy Awards. Really? I get art films and even like a few. However, this one is too much. The plot was extremely weak. The special effects, stupid. It seems Michael Keaton was trying to revive his portrayal of Batman, but missed the mark. I really like Michael Keaton's films and I think he is a great actor. He is probably the only reason I risked seeing this. Him and Edward Norton actually. Both of these fellas did well with what they had, but there just wasn't enough substance for them to pull this out of the dumper. So we have a Hollywood actor who was fighting his commercial success playing a super hero in movies by wanting to do meaningful, Broadway stage acting. Just another example of highly paid actors whining and crying their craft just doesn't mean enough so they go do something stupid.
Let's be clear actor folks, we don't go to movies, we don't go to see stage plays looking for meaningful, life changing events. We go to be ENTERTAINED...period! My wife and I don't walk out on movies once we get into them, but the most entertaining part of this film was watching the "Run Pee" app tick away on my iPhone! For the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to award this film one Oscar would have been ridiculous. For them to have awarded FOUR (including best picture), total joke. The Oscar means NOTHING now.
