Does anyone else love all his films except Birdman?


Its really weird, but i like all his films. Babel, Amores Perros, 21 grams are the standouts that i love! Even Biutiful i really appreciated. With Birdman though, it felt like he was trying to be Louis C.K in style and execution, and Birdman felt really empty and flat.

I was impressed technically, but i didnt find it enjoyable at all, and was left underwhelmed. I dont really know why, and i'm not sure i want to give Birdman another shot, since the writing is what turned me off. It felt so forced and boring, and didnt reach any heights for me.

The Revenant trailer looks INCREDIBLE tho! So i have high hopes. But i dont understand the praise for Birdman other than for the performances.

Oh yes, very undateable.

Birdman was my favorite movie of last year. Superb from start to finish. But I can see why some people wont like it. Its not everyone's cup of tea. A lot of my friends found it boring. But personally, it was an amazing experience.

i didnt care for any of his movies, and birdman i probably like the least. hes undeniably a good director, but i just dont enjoy his movies. i cant quite put my finger on why, but his movies just dont make me feel anything.

birdman was his best to date.

To me, Birdman was technically proficient and well acted, but lacked likable characters and had an ending that was both depressing and confusing. So I'm with you
