better bird related movie: Birdemic or Birdman?


Birdman for me

Birdemic on almost every level. Birdman is not about birds it's about a fictional guy who played a bird guy not about actual birds.

Then comparing the two is rather pointless because other than Bird being part of the title they have absolutely nothing in common other than they are movies, movies with Bird in the title. One is very low budget filmed on a cheap camcorder probably bought at a pawn shop. They picked the actors up out of some coffee shop I believe based solely on their looks like oh that guy he looks desperate for 10 bucks an hour hire him. The other movie features A list actors who are stuck in a D list production despite what the critics say, it's crap.

But, Birdemic since you want to compare the movies is still superior. The premise of Birdemic is actually very good for a horror movie, which I have to digress here Birdman is not a horror film, horrible I think is the word you are looking for. Yes, Birdemic is a horrible movie, but still this is not the point in any case. Birdemic is better than Birdman. Birdemic is an inspiring film, there are at least two threads on that topic. Birdman inspiring, yeah not so much maybe in the "hey don't believe you are invincible and shoot yourself in the head" sort of way, but that is about it.

I prefer movies that are clearly stupid like Birdemic. Or at least clearly executed poorly, but with a pretty good premise. I think the premise is pretty good even if it's goofy. There is no way global warming is going to make birds explode and vomit acid that kills people. But, global warming is not a good thing exploring this issue is a noble cause even if there are no answers in this movie; the intentions were good.

Birdman is a self indulgent piling steam of crap with a high budget made by privileged people who enjoy gazing at their navels.
