He looks like Hawkman

:idea:

Hey maybe if this does good at the box-office they will greenlight a Hawkman movie?

 

Hawkmen...DIVE!

First BIRDMAN Reviews Soar To New Heights

 

-------------------------

"Birdman flies very, very high. Intense emotional currents and the jagged feelings of volatile actors are turned loose to raucous dramatic and darkly comedic effect in one of the most sustained examples of visually fluid tour de force cinema anyone's ever seen, all in the service of a story that examines the changing nature of celebrity and the popular regard for fame over creative achievement." - Todd McCarthy

-------------------------

"Michael Keaton plays Riggan in an astonishingly good performance. Not washed up exactly (he can afford to stage a vanity project of dubious financial wisdom), Riggan's got creative ennui and a love-hate relationship with the alter ego that made him a success: Birdman. We don't ever find out all that much about Birdman; we don't need to. He's got a deep, critical voice, which talks to Riggan constantly. He's the linchpin of a superhero franchise from before superhero franchises were fashionable. We also know that Riggan said no to "Birdman 4."" - Catherine Bray

-------------------------

"The feverishly anticipated (not least by us) movie from Alejandro González Iñárritu blasted through its Venice premiere (it’s the opening film) in a giddy, gonzo rush —so exciting, so moment-to-moment enjoyable that to expect profundity would be greedy. And yet it delivers on that level as well; the film is as thoughtful and smart as it is infectiously absurd. And that's perhaps the biggest surprise of an endlessly surprising, inventive movie: whatever the sum of its parts, like how it launches and completes the “Keatonnaissance” in one fell swoop, or the incredible camerawork that is imperceptibly stitched together into (mostly) one long, seemingly cutless take, “Birdman” adds up to more. It’s borderline miraculous. " - Jessica Kiang

-------------------------

 

Hopefully, this turns out well. From these reviews, most are very positive.

Sounds ambitious. Even if it's (inevitably) pretentious and self-indulgent, it'll be worth a look.

I will definitely check this out when it is released. Looks very interesting. Keaton has a way of pulling-off the more bizarre characters. I'm hoping its a big hit for him. (thumbs u

His best roles have been wigged-out, hyperactive characters. He's been in the doldrums for enough time that this would be an improbable comeback.

Why is it inevitably pretentious and self indulgent?
