Vertigo Ambrosia posted:I absolutely adored this film, and I got a somewhat different message from it than it seems most people did. The first thing I thought of when I walked out was this Calvin and Hobbes strip: For what it's worth, that's exactly what I got out of the film. It's pretty much explicitly stated toward the ending, when Spider-man and Optimus Prime take the stage with the drum line. Heh, there's a sentence I never thought I'd type. And while the critic seems like a gigantically obnoxious strawman, I'd argue that the superhero movie fantasy sequence is just as overblown--the difference is I, and I think most people, know that the movie in question actually exists (at least, I think it does, I haven't seen any of the Transformers films beyond the trailers, but I have no doubt that it's exactly what they are like). And from reading some theater reviews, I have no issue believing that somewhere out there a critic like her exists too. Also if anyone wants to read something so overwrought and off the mark that your eyes will roll straight back into your head, here's The Dissolve's review of the film: http://thedissolve.com/reviews/1152-birdman/
