Flashy cast and waste of cash who don't deliver on the promised exceptional performances

Rating: 1/10 (8 November 2018)

Due to the raving reviews and the hype of this movie, I had expected much more. I had partly liked the previous versions of this movie, however struggled to be captivated by this one.
Whilst Lady Gaga is a good actress, she isn't a great one. I watched this movie hoping to fall in love with the cast and story telling, having seen the previous adaptions, I really thought this would bring it into the 21st century and be an instant classic yet when I watched it I wondered where all the Oscar worthy content was.
This movie was a massive let down, perhaps my expectations were too high for this or perhaps I found the tropes underwhelming and the performances much more mediocre than anticipated or deemed by reviewers.
I honestly wish I had saved myself the money of going and waited until it was available on tv, that way I could have turned it over once I realised how utterly tripe it is. There were times when my friends and I felt like leaving yet stayed waiting for the superb performances that we were promised. We also stayed for our friend who is a major Lady Gaga fan, who was too blinded by her obsession to see the many faults with this movie, though she did admit once over that there were moments when she felt her eyes begin to wander.
I don't understand how the reviews are so good.
