It was alright

Rating: 6/10 (18 December 2018)

Bradley Cooper was phenomenal, credit must be given where it's due. I just wish he had a different leading lady, one that would compliment him and his character muuccchhh better. I'm not denying that Gaga can act, she can ! Of course the woman can sing and write catchy tunes but I think she was a poor casting decision. Gaga can't help but be Gaga, I didn't see no Ally here just Gaga. It was Jackson and Gaga, who loved herself and that's it. Not once did I believe this Ally was really in love with Jackson and that has a lot to do with the acting. I mean if the script called for an Ally that's self loving and unconvincing at caring about others then sure, guess she was great. The whole time before I saw this I refused to listen to the soundtracks so that nothing could be spoiled, while the lyrics for each were lovely its nothing I'll be listening to again. Every other actor in this film was great, Ally's father and his friends, her best friend, the evil manager dude, Dave Chapelle... just Gaga. It's a shame cos this really could've been as great as everyone is making it out to be had Gaga just become Ally and not stayed her self obsessed self or if someone else had played this character. She's not even convincing when she's still a non famous Ally and telling Jackson how she doesn't think she could handle that amount of fame. She couldn't even deliver that line in a believable way, seemed so forced.
