Birdman - Movie Review

2:10 I'm sorry, Chris. What you're talking about is telekinesis, not telepathy. Telepathy mainly involves powers that influence the mind. Telekinesis is the ability to move things with them.

U need to watch "Paan Singh Tomar" a Bollywood movie and review the same

I really liked how they did it in one shot

Seriously? You don't mention the direction once. You always start your reviews with the name of the Director. But not this time. It seems like all the credit goes to the actors. I wonder if it is because the director is Mexican. Hhmmm !!!!!

If you dont like this movie you are a sucker for Hollywood ! You have lost all understanding of life to a point that you live in a fantasy! This movie is about life! If all you are interested in is exploding buildings and car chases and all that crap in most movies dont watch birdman but if you are a person who is a deep thinker and deep feelings watch BIRDMAN! Its a classic film!!!!!

I remember seeing this movie what must have been about 4-5 years ago (I'm 22 now) and not getting it at all. I felt completely underwhelmed. Will definitely rewatch it sometime soon cuz I have a feeling I'm gonna feel pretty different about it now.

Wow... what an awesome movie review. I havent seen birdman... but can't wait to check it out now. You have so much energy in your film reviews. Great stuff

I think he liked it.

Now we know how Michael Keaton became the villain for Spiderman: Homecoming...... B-)

For me, I will give Birdman B +. Because although I really enjoyed it and gave me lots of memories and experiences, I really tried to appreciate this film as you did, but I realized the film was so mature and maybe 11-17 years old me, didn't like it as much as i did now.

Awesome movie. I loved it.
About that telekinesis thing...notice that every scene in wich he uses it, he is alone. Nobody else is seeing

their so much in this film that it would take years to go though it all xD

This film did not click with me at all.

I just watched this movie, it might be one of the best movies over ever seen. It’s extremely good, definitely recommend a watch.

I feel like a child for not understanding this movie.

This movie sucked.

I think it was HIGHLY overrated.

Bojack Horseman does this story much better.

You actually didn't even mention the Director's name, smh =/

basically is a very good movie from the beggining to the end

It was indeed a Flawless movie....hahahaha However, I love how you didn't say ANYTHING about the amazing director Alejandro Iñarritu and all his amazing work... obviously because he's mexican ...If it was Nolan or Tarantino of course you'll say the name of the director you fucking Gringo!

birdman is the best picture of this century.

The score reminded me heavily of the score for Three Kings. Both are fuckin great.

Birdman was shit, hated it, worst movie I saw.

I need to watch this

I just saw the movie and I don't know why is it so good for everybody. I mean, it's not that I hate it, I liked it, it's completely enjoyable and has its own soul, but for me (maybe it's a bit weird what I'm going to say, but I understand myself okay xD) it's missing something, it's like it's missing something to be what people say it is...

MY FAV MOVIE

Cowboy Bebop shirt though

Didn't realise you were married. So hot yet taken - alas! Good luck to you both!!

I have one issue with the film. Some of the characters, or at least it looks like it, just dissappear, only to come back later.

its also called UNEXPECTED VIRTUE OF IGNORANCE.. which is sooo on point in the film..

keaton was in american assasin

you're lying.

I used to work in a local movie Theatre and were often having screenings for the press. And a surprisingly high percentage of them take the press document leave without seeing the movie at all.

Man, fuck Jeremy Jahns. He IS the bitchy critic in the film. Chris's rant in this vid made me think of his review of the same movie straight away! Him and his fans are trash. Stuckmann actually knows his shit when it comes to films!

You are lame riggan

You are lame Riggan

Who is this Capone Jones? If you actually paid attention to what was going on in this movie you’ll get that reference

I found it kinda confusing and boring, like some pseudo-artistic thing.
What am I missing here? Critics, help me out.

my favorite film !

My dad is a HUGE Michael Keaton fan as am I, mabye a bigger fan than him. So I ain't misses out on this film.

Smells like balls

I fucking loved this movie.. 2018 is a joke

My favourite film of all time.

Couldn’t make it past the play. It’s a movie for Hollywood like lala land which sucked

Acting is terrific but the movie is overhyped and I didn't really like it at all,

I think I might be in love with you

Great review!!

Chris, just be the fucking president of rotten tomatoes. Please!

Just watched it, best movie i've seen since a long time, cinema as it should be; an art. No freaking diversity quota and shit, just great actors, performances and artistic direction.

I watched Birdman for the first time a couple days ago and man it was great. It touched me greatly and reminded me about my own ego and also my place in the world. It's been a very long time since I watched a movie that made me thinking about myself.

there's no difference between art movies and entertainment movies. if a movie is good, it's good.

Chris' voice is so different!

This movie was garbage the end was cool but terrible and boring .

am i the only one who was really bored by this movie i mean i understood it all but it was just fuckin boring man 😂

*Somehow no reference to how this may slightly be spawned from Keaton once playing a winged character (batman) and coming back... as another winged character.. (bird man)*

well maybe Im the only one whos got the balls to admit I m so stupid that i even thought this was another super hero movie when i saw the trailer and completely insanely angrily disappointed when I watched it. i couldn't relate ro it. it's written specifically to certain audiences not for stupid mutant superhero fan?

i can tell you after seeing it back in the day and rewatching it he committed sucide at the end all the stuff with him levitating and moving stuff flying etc was all in his imagination the point of the movie though was he proved his daughter wrong she thought he was nothing but in reality his insanity kept boosting ratings on the play even the critic hated him and his other lead but it was actually enhanced by his weirdness but he also succumbed to insanity but embraced it

The movie was good, but it wasn't a masterpiece.

so true

I absolutely hated this movie lol it was so terrible to me! I’m sorry man I just am opposite on this one lol

Birdman...two wings up!

Two seconds to say "Alejandro González Iñárritu." Two seconds to talk about a Mexican genius in your video, you chose to talk everything but the director. I'm glad you gave A+, and a shame you chose not to mention him.

Good thing Birdman was filmed before the Trump era, otherwise Mexican director Iñárritu and Mexican cinematographer Ubekis might have been turned back at the border lol 😂

Review amores perros, same director as this

A serious masterpiece of film.

The thing with this movie is that people expect the movie to be presented in the same way that most movies are shot; everything important is shown directly, and it doesn't require thought into what's being shown or what exactly is being talked about and in what context of the scenes. That and etc.

Hey Chris why don't you try bahubali: the beginning and the conclusion ( ps it's an movie cutted in two parts and trust me it's fucking awesome and pretty much everything thing you can ask from a movie, though it is Indian u can watch with subtitles... Pls do a review of this movie...)

*Telekinesis
Great movie though.

i think this movie gets at least 50th place in the greatest movies list. some people see it as being on top ten. i have heard some people put it on the number one spot. which means its better than The Shawshank Redemption, Godfather, Godfather 2, Citizen Kane, Schinlders List, Pulp Fiction. the list goes on. and it not at all. its great but it doesn't come close to any of these movies. especially not The Shawshank Redemption which is considered the greatest movie of all time. and it truly is

Didn't like this movie. It's technically well done, great performances, acting, editing, cinematography and all, I just don't like it's tone, it's style, or the way in which it deals with it's themes; in other words, I am disturbed by it's irreverence. That's all I have to say about Birdman.

This film is for film lovers

Telepathy does not allow you to move things, it allows you to communicate with someone else with your mind. Telekinesis is the word you're looking for.

Ive never watch a trailer and it was on hbo one day. I truned to it. I ended up watching the rest and restarting it. Amazing film..

Honestly hate this movie 😂😂

You speak from the heart and you are so passionate about your profession. It is really fascinating to see someone so in love with what they do. I'm positively inspired. And you really sold me birdman. I'm gonna go check it out. Thanx

Looking forward for your explain & analysed video for the movie

I'm sorry...I liked the movie, but does no one see the parallels between the character Keaton's playing and himself. His character was Birdman, He was Batman...kinda faded out of the public eye, psychological issues on both fronts, ETC....

As a 16 year old kid. I expected to understand most of the movie. I understood the plot, but not the hidden meanings. Still enjoyed it, got some messages, great movie.

When hes walking on the road the drums that play through out the movie is played by a "street musician" for a few frames. Omg

its crap its like the witch and rosemary's baby its crap

BRAVO! I whole heartedly agree! One point that I may be wrong on because no other reviewer has picked up on it, this was about the aftermath of Batman on Keaton's career. He kinda disappeared. There was Beetlejuice and Batman, and that one creepy thriller where he's trying to break into a vault. other than that there wasn't anything memorable. So the Batman dogged him, became this other personality. I felt like this movie was a window into Keaton's life, no one else could play in this movie!

Totally agree!

I LOVEEEEEEDDDD THAT MOVIE!!!!

god; I know this was a well made artful movie but, shit I hated watching it..

I would've loved hearing you say the Director's name like you usually do at the beginning of your videos. :D
Big fan of your work from Mexico City!

How well you've explained this movie deserves a subscription!
Looking forward to more of your reviews.
You highlighted the values that people tend to miss in this reviewer.
Some people will get it right away, some people don't. Doesn't mean it is not true.
Those who hate it goes into the categories of people that the movie itself criticises.
People who tries to understand it and then still hate it is fine.
But people who straight up hates it is just.... well, ...

I'm starting to this the people writing these crazy praising comments aren't people at all and doing it for an agenda

Yeah yeah, boring shit.

Couldn't agree with you more Chris
A+

Incredible movie! What an experience!

Vulture: I'm Birdman!
(...ahem)
Birdman: Hello?
Vulture: Oh...awkward.
Birdman: Mm-hmm.

this is best movie i have ever seen in my life

No one is going to mention the King Kong reference when Naomi Watts said, "I finally made it on Broadway"?

The best part of this movie was the final hour. Keaton just unloads everything he has got on stage.... in the nude. He is embracing his Birdman, not the character itself but that aura, the charisma, the attitude is what he finally takes inspiration from. Also, each and every scene with Birdman is just.... masterful. It was almost like it was exactly what Keaton was going through after he left his role as Batman. The scene with the film critic is one of the best scenes of all time. It is these little moments that are so powerful, it is no wonder that it was nommed for Oscars.

Proof that if a film gets Oscar buzz, then all critics automatically love it. This film was okay, but had some glaring plot issues and scene issues. Not to mention the pacing was just off. I will admit the fact that its overrated makes me dislike it, but seriously, it's just an okay film.

Did anyone else realize that Hulk banged Gwen Stacy? And that Batman/ Vulture is Gwen Stacy's father?

ok i knew this was going to happen this is what critics do they give high praise to shit movies and poor praise to good movies. why do they get paid for this or not. now one thing i do agree is that keaton did an excellent movie

in a way Chris are you a critic? have you ever thought about being a critic? ever think about being a professional critic? just curious.
